A result like today is the manager's responsibility. Newcastle did very well with what they have, but they are an ordinary team, and they beat us 3-0.
Exactly. They pressed us high, our midfielders seemed reluctant to take the ball from the back four, and when they did passed it straight back until we were forced to go long.
How Obiang didn't start I don't know. Playing Nobes and Rice is like starting with the same player. sideways, backwards. Obiang looks forward.
Ayew seems lost. Fernandez was absent yesterday, and The Pea must be wondering what the hell he's done. Zero service.
Antonio tried his heart out, but drifted from the game.
Manu didn't really show, and when he did he went sideways and back.
What happened to our pace on the counter?
And while we're at it, sort out the defense Slav
A sad day indeed yesterday.
