So bad, so hard to watch as someone with an interest in them To be fair some blame on the personnel tonight also, Shelvey keeps giving the ball straight to Arsenal and Carol has got the touch of a non league player
RowlattsFox Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 What are people expecting Newcastle to be like? Of course there going to sit back and try and counter. We were worse than this in the first half at Arsenal. 1
Vacamion Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 Aubameyang earns a fortune and has been bob so far.

We were worse than this in the first half at Arsenal. I don't think they are trying to sit back and counter though. Every time they get the ball in the midfield they've got no idea what to do with it so pass it back. It all points to what the club ITK's are saying up there, they do zero work on attacking transitions in training, it's all defensive structure and defensive drills.
StanSP Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 And this is a Newcastle with the 'gloves off' according to Bruce...
AjcW Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 Even their admin has sacked this off .... Nothing for 13 mins 1
Vacamion Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 I would quite like Newcastle to shithouse this game. If we can suffer the indignity of a late Andy Carroll goal, so can the Arse. 1
Kingleicester Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 This is bloody disgusting from both teams, league 1 standard, even the fake crowd noise is Scottish football league standards 🤣

Kingleicester Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 The ref even blows for half time early even the refs had enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sunbury Fox Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 (edited) Arsenal are so, so average. I know we won the game there so the end justifies the means - and I'd waited a lifetime to see it happen. But it still rankles a little that we didn't do it with more style, as we really do have much better players all over the pitch. I guess a few of them were out that night, though.

You could say it's a gamble but as we've seen for Chelsea, big spending doesn't always pay off immediately. It's astonishing to think Justin cost us 6-8m And based on current form and the fact he's establishing himself in the PL, he's got to be worth 50M+ ? What's Barnes worth now, also has to be over 50M. Another thing I love is you don't get the big ego vibe from any of our players. Radio Leicester say that we are good at getting 'silver medalists' IE players that have something to prove, and that's basically us summed up. Fofana maybe slightly bigger ego than were used to be he's bearly 20 and playing at a 2nd place PL team so you kind of get that, hopefully he is helped to remain humble by the experience in the team. Having said all that, there's not a single starting 11 player I'd want to cash in on. Chillwell was good but many of us weren't overly upset he had gone, personally I was kind of hoping he'd go if the fee was right, but I'd be more than gutted to lose a Justin, Barnes, fofana etc. The future is looking bright and now we're getting some depth in the team, even more so. Yeah this summer is a tougher one, if ricardo doesnt make it back in the team and cement his place then he is probably the one.
mozartfox Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 This is the sort game that makes want to try and have a dump just to get on the throne and out sight of the TV.
Otis Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 1 hour ago, AjcW said: Interesting from Steve Bruce tonight “gloves are off” “Sick of the criticism” “here you pricks, have 5 attacking players and no midfield” almost feel like he wants them to get hammered to shut the fans up. Half-time and only 1 shot... and that was off target 1
foxfanazer Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 I can't say I blame any team playing this style against Arsenal. OK Newcastle might be taking it to the extreme but Arsenal are inept at playing against the 'low block' it'd be rude not to

Vacamion Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 I like to think that Steve Bruce apologetically followed up his THE GLOVES ARE OFF war cry with, "Err except for Karl Darlow, he needs his gloves on" 2 1
Vacamion Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 Aubameyang planned that socially distanced goal celebration in lockdown #1.
