[FredZeppelin]

Burke is doing really well, for me. He gives it everything.

 

[JayGreen17]

Where’s the desire, the passing, it’s like a different team..even the simple things aren’t happening

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

Woke up early from my night shift for this bollocks.

I'm off to bed again. I'll be checking in an hour and a half from now and I expect a 3-1 win in our favour.

Shithouses, the lot of 'em.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Bit different and we had plenty of men in front of kane and he is hardly a speedy danger unlike eze

We had plenty of men in front of Eze - he was in his own half!

 

[YES Blade]

This game highlights how bad Newcastle are, not anything about us because this is no different to our other 18 games

The sad thing is we needed a red card and a penalty to beat them!

 

[essexblade73]

But he can strike a ball from distance.

Most players can, tell me the last time kane smashed one in from 35 yards. It was a stupid foul.

 

[William Large]

Referee and officials are poles apart from the Newcastle game. Andy Madley is one of the better premier league refs and doesn’t nit pick at every single challenge like the majority of them.
It’s almost like there is an unwritten rule that every 50/50 goes to one of the media darlings and yellow cards must be given as a minimum.

 

[FriethBlade]

Fleck...panic, panic, I've had the ball for more than 2 seconds what shall I do with it..we look overawed

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

...unless we’re playing against Fulham or Brighton or Bristol Rovers?

not sure they’re the same as Spurs

 

[essexblade73]

We had plenty of men in front of Eze - he was in his own half!

Not within close proximity of him. Kane had a man closing him down and unlike eze ive seen milk turn quicker than him. It was a stupid foul on kane whatever you say.

 

[Drunk blade]

Aimless long balls every time

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We’ve got absolutely no pace to break with when we come forward, so slow.

Might be worthwhile having someone sitting behind the strikers. Stevens, Bogle and Basham haven’t been able to get up the pitch at all so we need to change system asap

 

[Il Coltello]

Supposed to be fighting for our lives and we're letting the opposition have unchallenged headers from set pieces.

Get in the bin blades.

 

[derfblade.3]

Chris waiting till we are 2-0 down before bringing Brewster on.....just watch!

 

[CentralQuay]

Where’s the desire, the passing, it’s like a different team..even the simple things aren’t happening

A different team compared to what?

 

[SUFCinks]

Fucking aimless hoofs. Pass the ball you twats.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Change formation ffs - they’re pinning our wingbacks back!

 

[JackSUFC]

I’d hazard a guess that we conceded more goals from corners per game with JOC in the team than without him this season.

Edit: 2 games with JOC, 2 goals conceded from corners. 17 games without JOC, a lot less than 17 goals conceded from corners.

How many headers have we conceded this season?

 

[saw516]

...unless we’re playing against Fulham or Brighton or Bristol Rovers?

And we were leading against Brighton just couldn’t hold on

 

[jt64]

Might be worthwhile having someone sitting behind the strikers. Stevens, Bogle and Basham haven’t been able to get up the pitch at all so we need to change system asap

Brewster on for Norwood, drop Didzy in just in front of Fleck/Lunny

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Boy do we need a decent midfield.

 

[saw516]

What happened to not flagging till the play is over?

 

[Geordie Blade]

How many headers have we conceded this season?

A couple of thousand, tops?

 

[essexblade73]

Oh for a midfielder who can carry the ball and has a shot in him

 

[FriethBlade]

Get Brewster on at half time. He needs some experience to hit the ground running next season

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Good spell here

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Brewster on for Norwood, drop Didzy in just in front of Fleck/Lunny

Agree. Baldock maybe? Or leave Bogle who’s better going forward but not as quick

 

[jt64]

How have we had more attempts?

 

[essyoueffsee]

Be good to have a goalkeeper that can catch it.

 

[saw516]

So ramsdale getting shoulder barged into his goal isn’t a foul?
