Honey Honey Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We've never been to a League Cup semi final in my life. Part of me thinks this won't be the time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnersaurus Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Pep was asked if it would be more special to win the league cup because he would have won it more than anyone. He said no. Yeah right you lying cunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 We've started a 17 year old called Kobbie Mainoo, watched him a few times this season. Once at Altrincham in the summer and a few under 21 games I've seen bits and bobs. Looks really talented. ETH must really rate him to trust him at such a young age. Can't wait to see him play.

Honey Honey Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hoping for some composure tonight. Wilson needs to be on top of his game. Yet to get going since the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson needs to be on top of his game. Yet to get going since the world cup. We're the perfect club to get a player back into form. Our midfield is going to get trounced. So weak. Ndidi is not in form and Guimaraes/Joelinton will enjoy tonight. Thomas will be targeted, like in the Boxing Day game, by Almiron and Trippier.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 10, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 10, 2023 Same system as boxing day with weaker personnel. I don't know why he persists with it when it doesn't work. It's just another sign of the general cba-ness about him, and us at the minute. I fully expect us to lose this but you never know - I feel like it's Newcastle's biggest game in years and I don't know how they'll react to that. Sadly though I don't think we're really built for this type of game at the minute and they'll win. We've got 1 point from 10 games against the top half of the PL this season. We're frankly crap against anyone who isn't also crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Said we need composure before the game and we've got none of it. 4th game in a row sitters are missed. Frustrating. Things not going our way in front of goal anymore. Should be out of sight not 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted January 10, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2023 Amazed we're not losing this so far. One proper chance for us and Daka weirdly chooses to square it instead of shoot. We've gotta get our act together. Far too much space for Newcastle in our half and it's embarrassing. Barnes does fuck all these days. Ineffective on that left wing.and doesn't give Daka any support or Thomas any defensive support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 10, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2023 Never deserved anything from this game and for a quarter final in a cup competition that's pathetic. Lucky it was only 2-0. Embarrassing. Rodgers needs to go because he's drained all the motivation and confidence out of the side. Sapped all the hunger out of us. This side needs some fresh impetus and not just in the form of new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our only decent winger and yet he's playing so badly he deserves dropping. I think I'd go back to a diamond. We have got to stop this system - what aspect of our game does it enhance? I think the collective lack of aggression is a real problem. That tonight was an absolute embarrassment from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 this time last year we were knocked out by Cambridge and drawing with Watford. It's been surreal to think in a year it's bottom to near the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 11, 2023 I've said it many a time on here, but I think people are a bit disingenuous about Newcastle because they don't like the nature of the takeover or the cockiness of the fans, both understandable but it's wrong to not give credit to Howe & Ashworth, who've cleverly improved the team no end in just a year. This Newcastle double header for us has been a real hammer blow. Two of the most disgraceful displays I've ever seen from us but more than anything, a real symbol of our decline which is every bit as rapid as their rise. If you had a year ago named the four XIs put out by both teams you wouldn't have them down as thrashing us twice. Yet they did. It's no fluke. Our decline is every bit as abject as their rise is good. I think it's some of the most appalling mismanagement I've ever witnessed. You can look at the likes of Everton and say they've been a bigger shambles and they obviously have, but I think for purely squandering a position you'll be pushed to find ineptless like what we're serving up at the minute. A club that has genuinely just given up. I want the owner to sell up if he doesn't act very soon and I never thought it would come to that, this quickly.
