“Daka can’t hit a barn door!!!”

 

At least he’s near the barn 

Neither of them know where the fu#king barn is .... let alone the door

That's all fine and dandy, as long as there's an end product to it. And goals.

There’s been lots of end product. We’ve created lots of chances. There are 11 players trying to stop us scoring you know. We don’t have a divine right to win. We are however playing lots of fast positive football and trying to score. 

[Pliskin]

45 minutes wasted….

 

Continuing to play Ayew will just further harm our attacking output. 

[hebangsthedrums]

Thought the West brom commentator was quite good. Other than that a bit meh with a faes farce the difference. 

Someone should mention we shouldnt play ayew up front

I'm having a nice family meal out in Newcastle,  if anyone's interested.

What type of establishment are you eating out? 
 

This has potential to be tonight’s most interesting conversation. 

[Noahfence]

We look ****ing shite with Ayew up front. Who’d have thought it?! 
 

Must be nice getting paid thousands a week to be shit at your job 

[Big Blue Maff]

Bring on Carranza , Daka , Monga and attack attack attack attack attack 

[Gazza M]

Suffering with no genuine 9 playing again. One moment of poor defending by Faes. Go 2 up top Marti please and take off Mavididi. Give Carranza a full 45.

Our xG 0.75, theirs 0.21

 

We've created some chances, Mavididi looks like hes woken up a bit, it's not all doom and gloom

Not fair because most of that is the Ricardo shit which wasn't a Ricardo shot.

[Dan]

He's got to start with Carranza from Tuesday. How much more does he need to see?

If that is Ayew trying to score, then I’ve got a shot of being a footballer.

We look a really good side. But unfortunately don't ever look like scoring 

Its highly unlikely you will score goals if you don't play a striker 

[Dahnsouff]

Wear their big lads out first half chasing the ever so dangerous Ayew around, bring in Julian half time, debut hatrick. Jobs a good un. 

[leicesterlad1989]

A game which we have controlled in possession, yet when we lose the ball we look like we will concede.

It's basically a less effective Enzo style

The issue is we don't move the ball fast enough. I thought Enzo's style was slow at times but this is slower still. Means we can't break the lines and pull them out of shape. Even harder now we're a goal down as they're happy to sit in. No idea what Faes was thinking for that goal, just shows why he can't be in the relied upon. 

[Lambert09]

Kristiansen is back in the mix then  also just noticed begovic is the sub keeper

He has plenty of company in that department 

[copunk]

I’m still laughing at how bad the defending was for their goal 😂 tragic 

These are garbage but have set up well

Best we can hope for here is a draw 

[emmo1987]

Its that bad, a low on confidence mavididi has been our most potent threat.

Vesty brain fart!!! Come rushing out and left us well out of shape

He pressed the ball, it was a brilliant touch by the striker round the corner …… Faes could have engaged him and hoofed him into the middle of next week or he clips have fouled him and took the yellow, instead he went to ground and didn’t even engage a tackle it as like a 6 year old frightened of getting hurt. 

[Dahnsouff]

World class mondo side

[Taz_The_Fox]

Frustrating. Lots of good stuff but absolutely no goal threat.

Usually I end up defending ayew somewhat but the Statue of Liberty would be more use up top today 

Carranza must be seriously unfit or seriously poor. 

[Guest]

Another incredible half from our false nine

[ClaphamFox]

Some ridiculous overreaction on here. We’ve been the better side and have actually created a couple of very decent chances. Unfortunately if one of your centre halves decides to topple over as if he’s been shot by a sniper when the opposition are attacking, it can spell trouble. I’m still confident we’ll get something here. We need an actual centre forward on the pitch, though.
