Shearer on MOTD - be all about how poor Newcastle were then.

 

Another impressive attack display and it could have been more !

Soccer Saturday said could have had 4 or 5 ..... and that was at half time lol

We aren't that bad. Unbeaten away in about three months now and the only only side recently that have looked better than us have been a World Class side.

 

Talk about exaggeration on here.

Bournemouth and Huddersfield both looked better than us in those games (we got lucky) !.. We didn't have a shot on target against Manchester City and we were dire 2nd half against West Ham. 

Take the rose tinted spectacles off!

I took umbrage to someone saying something similar this morning.

 

Perhaps i'm looking too much into the negatives (as are many) but also I think people with the opinion you have are also in a little bit of denial, like always there needs to be some middle ground.

Papering over cracks?

 

Ooo I do love a good unbeaten stat - oh how it can be used to twist and make things sound better than they are.

 

I'm a very fact based person and you have simply stated the facts but lets dissect it all, dig a little deeper.

 

Whilst we've not lost to those teams we've only beat 3 of them - one of those being a cup game, I'm not discounting that and i'd be delighted if we go on to win the cup - will we though :unsure: but i'm more very concerned with our league form.

 

Played poor against Huddersfield, Bournemouth, West Brom and West Ham.

 

I don't give a flying fuck whether most of them were away or not, that is just an excuse people use, we should be beating these teams if we are to be challenging where we want to be instead we'll just be float around relegation fodder and battle away.

 

West Ham, the Olympic Stadium, lots has been made about how bad the atmosphere is, how toxic it is, West Ham fans unhappy, getting on their backs, we needed to capitalise on those factors, we got the early goal that everyone was agreed was so important, we failed to build on it, we just sat back, let them come on to us and then we defended for the majority of the game. Disgraceful.

For me last night after the game i was so annoyed and frustrated. Even went as far as wanting Mahrez gone in January and Gray having regular sessions with a attitude speacialist. But @Fox92 is right, we have been unbeaten away in over 2 months and thats just a fact. 

 

I guess it depends on where your focus is .. glass half full, half empty ...for me i like to remain positive. Even though we were shite v West Ham you have to take into account they were playing at home and their crowd rose to the occasion after they scored.

 

A point away from home regardless to who it is, is always good, and we didnt drop any places in the table after the matches today. There always are positives to take away from any game, regardless of how bad it seemed
