[PL] Newcastle Utd (A): Match Thread

[Fosterbloke]

Not been very impressed with us so far.

Actually only real stand outs so far are Mignolet and Allen

[DeanoUK]

I'm not convinced Lucas is having one of his better games either. All very meh.

[Fredo]

Benteke's awareness needs to be way better than he has been showing each time he's played. Just goes asleep sometimes and is not first to balls he should be winning all day long.

And some thought this would be a hammering. They are really battling out there.

We need to be better, much better

[Fredo]

Well, Newcastle have upped their game and it was to be expected. I never expected this to be a walkover.

I'm not impressed, he can score the odd high quality goal but doesn't seem to find space, win the ball, or do anything of much use except be a target man for the head down. Am wishing/hoping for more.

Not much happening. Getting dragged down to their level. Little invention, loose passing, wanting too much time on the ball.

[Gazmo1]

This lot are here for the taking and we are cocking around.

[Daffy Duck]

They're cunts

[RichC]

Our passing is terrible at the moment

[DeanoUK]

If it doesn't go to Benteke's feet, he ain't interested.

[McDermotX]

Good thing Milner chased that, otherwise I'd have whipped him off right there and then.

[Fosterbloke]

Firmino comes alive with Coutinho alongside him. On this evidence we need to bin off Benteke and bring on Origi.
