Well done Ross. Me and @Backbiter having been waiting for everyone else to catch up.

We need CMs. Not attacking mids. 

Everton players going down at every contact now

Pathetic from enzo .. how can a professional footballer defend like that.. I went after Jorginho for poor defending .. but enzo was extremely poor there for some one wearing a blue shirt I would take them off immediately.

He needs to improve his defending, that`s for sure. Still a very good signing. He is the only midfielder we have that is actually able to be productive and not just run around aimlessly. This doesn`t include Kante, but he is not capable of staying fit.

Really hope we get a pure DM in the summer. We have MORE than enough 8’s, that much is certain

our defence has no idea , whose coaching them , they need to go as well

 

No idea and Dave and Silva are too slow... only have to look at Hall, inexperienced but he's quick to cover, tackle and get up and down the pitch

Precisely why he’s a redundant footballer. 

Hmm not really he is a very good false 9.

 

We've been okay in attack, nothing special, but in comparison to the rest of the season, this has been one of the better ones. The defence though? horrible. Every time we lose the ball, Newcastle have a chance to score. Transitioning from attack to defence is like watching a disaster waiting to happen. If Newcastle come out and be a bit more clinical, they could put 4 past us like United did.

Not sure if the club is rolling down the bumpy hillside (feels more like plummeting),  but these tires are VERY flat 🤣.

Gallagher is Lampard's "golden boy" this season same as Mount was in 2020. Loftus-Cheek was Potter's "golden boy".

I am ok with poor positioning mistiming a tackle.. but not with a lack of intent or drive.. it was petulant and NC should have scored.. we have had better midfielders than enzo at this club and they never did this.

Got nothing to do with coaching 

Can everybody be quiet already! I'm trying to book a weekend away here, I need to focus.

Maybe in the Bundesliga. Simply not what we need and his only contribution has been receiving the ball from the right and making a big switch to the left.

Silva has been too proactive trying to win balls he can’t .. sucidal defending.. Azpi well the only reason he is playing is because when we needed to sign a RB and a ST we wengg if and bought 2 midfield prospects 2wingers and an attacking mid.. amazing squad management by this circus of an establishment so far.

A lot of people and even the commentators are getting at Apzilicueta's defending, but it's all on Lampard for me. You don't play a 33 year old who's legs are not what they used to be in an open back 4. Lampard's suicidal defensive set up is the reason why we are struggling defensively.

The commentators are doing everything they can to avoid pointing the finger at Lampard for the way we are set up defensively.

Commentator on my stream said you can't blame Lampard for Newcastle's goal. Tosh.

Lol you have Peacock too? Heard that as well and shook my head. 

The levels of defence English pundits rush to Lampard.

Nah he is a damn good false 9 even in PL. He play the same way as last year when everyone rave about his play. 

If you are asking how about box threat? Hmm, in tuchel 343, if your st is looking for goals the whole system collapse.

He's completely alone there all the time, no help whatsoever from the other midfielers, besides you're only focusing on one particular play, he's made some good ball recoveries.

Reminds me very much of Lamps last season managing here.
