Good summary DL I agree with it all.
I'm just bitter about last night and him being pleased with it. Hopefully I will get over it soon.

Newcastle have the joint 2nd best defensive home record in the league. Only 12 goals conceded. We've conceded more than double that.
Luckily for us, Southampton have an even worse defense than we do!DannyboyDJL wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 7:06 pm Newcastle have the joint 2nd best defensive home record in the league. Only 12 goals conceded. We've conceded more than double that.
I'd be shocked if we get anything. It's possible, but I'd be surprised.
Yes - their reliance on Ings is a weakness that can be exploited.prophet:marginal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 7:59 pm They've also won 1.5x more matches than us, have a striker who has scored on a regular basis, recently, and a coach who went back to the drawing board, after a thrashing, and turned around their season.

Of course not - we need to win these games

Amen to that, SH!
Sadly true, but who in our team has the bottle to stand up to that kind of pressure? Who has the charisma and leadership to drag the rest of the team to victory? What happened last time we were in a must win game and 2 up twice?
Back to the drawing board huh?prophet:marginal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 7:59 pm They've also won 1.5x more matches than us, have a striker who has scored on a regular basis, recently, and a coach who went back to the drawing board, after a thrashing, and turned around their season.
Because chasing a 1 goal deficit with 10 left is an option, chasing a 2 goal deficit (against city) with 20 left would be begging to drop 2/3 more goals.
The drawing board was sold in the summer as part of the Obiang deal.
To be fair he was probably thinking De Bruyne was going to square it and was expecting the cross, but unfortunately De Bruyne is a ****ing good player and took the other option. The question should really be why did Slowble allow him to pass to Silva then just run unimpeded to collect the return - Noble was **** and slow yet Moyes continues to play him, at one point Rice ran past him to make a last ditch tackle.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 3:59 pm A goalkeeper of Fabianski’s class should be saving that all day long. He is probably very disappointed himself that he let it through him.
Or you know some coaching staff to use the second hand one they bought from a school that was chucking it out and they came by and said hey we'll give you our whole youth team budget for that blackboard, but we're chucking it away you can have it for free they say, nonsense if we give you the river we were going to spend on youth we can say how we spent the whole budget on training equipment upgrades and leak it to Jim "the puppet" White.
