Never an excuse for lack of effort.

Our lack of mental fortitude prevents that

What time are we kicking off ??

[OLD norfox]

I don't think we'll see Barnes and Soumare second half.

Making this bang average Newcastle team look like world beaters. The Leicester way in recent times unfortunately. 

That bang average they are 3rd in the league soon to be 2nd

[CloudFox]

Anyone got any ideas or hope we can turn this around? Feels like we've just reverted to the beginning of the season again. Awful, awful play. No aggressiveness or, well anything.

[KingKoala]

Daka is probably not the answer for Vardy replacement.

[Kasey Keller]

This will end 4-1

[Bordersfox]

The second goal.  Sums up how piss weak the majority of our players are.  Half hearted, non challenges.  

[lee7]

Despite the score Newcastle look like they could be opened up at the back...get Iheanacho on and i think we could get ourselves back in this if he is on it.

There’s so many issues today but starting with Praet on the right just makes it so difficult from the off. Really shows up our shambolic transfer recruitment that we can only that option or Perez up against Dan Burn.

 

Ward in goal just  so easy to score past.

 

Tielemans looks absolutely spent, be surprised if his legs haven’t gone completely in a few years.

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Christttt we are absolutely quango today

They are bang average thou let's not kid ourselfs.

 

Take Howe out that team they would be bottom again

[Royston.]

We could score the next 3 goals and id still fancy us to lose.

 

Zero spine

 

What a truly awful half of football

 

Lets just pretend newcastle are the same ilk of man city and this is a free hit.

 

[Nicolo Barella]

Amartey and Soumare are mediocre and I miss prime Ndidi and Evans

If August and September were anything to go by, we kick off about 7 games in...

[foxfanazer]

I don't know why anybody is remotely surprised! This is us under Rodgers in a nutshell

[Jattdogg]

....Just think, we can redeem ourselves against liverpool.....

[mozartfox]

We have regressed back to Pre-Forest.  If we can keep this under 5, that will be a result.  So many players having an off day at the same time and we are making them look like Bayern Munchen.

I love how everyone keeps rolling out the "bang average" claims against Newcastle!  I'd take probably 7 or 8 of their first team and exchange them with ours.  If Newcastle are bang average, then what have we been for the past 18 months.  Christ almighty.

We've been shit plenty of times. But I can't believe our overall performance, mindset,  work rate, confidence and organisation as been worse than this. 

 

Even at our worst, we at least looked OK going forward. 

Maybe the awful early season form convinces me it was worse because it lasted so long, but  this may be the start of a new run of poor form! However let’s hope not.

[bluefox1]

Top,instead of giving free beer,why you don't give us at the game our match ticket money back for watching this dross

Another horror show from Tielemans. He must have something decent lined up 

If any "top six" club is insane enough to sign him it will be utterly pointless, he would be benched after 3 cant- be- arsed games and moved on after a season of disappointment.

He's been at best poor for months and frankly wont be missed anything like Madders- not even close to his standard.

[tom27111]

I don't expect us to win every game.

 

I don't expect us to be challenging for Europe every year.

 

What I do expect is for every player to give 100%. 

 

It's simply not acceptable.
