Chucked the game away, what a waste. Make some changes asap 

Newcastle press is hard and our players don't even try to fight for a ball going their way. No wonder Enzo can't pass to anyone, same thing used to happen for Jorginho when in front there is only weak players.

I think we praised the team way too much after that City performance.

They deserved the praise but they've taken two steps back after the international break

Hurry up Nkunku. Not sure how much more of headless chicken Gallagher I can take. Great to have academy players out there, but football wise he’s bang average. Just works hard. 

Saying that, he’s in good company with others today. Look like they don’t want to be there. 

You watch, Pochettino won't drop him. No chance he is dropping a player he has played in every game. Tough decisions need to be made, and I think in games like today, Gallagher isn't needed, but the same could be said for a few of them out there because most have been terrible today.

Holy F**k can we get any worse ? There were changes needed we could all see, down to Poch I'm afraid,

We’re still f**king sh*t

Yeah. Our players got cocky after scoring 4 against City. Jackson is dogsh*t. This is bring them back to Earth.

Honestly that annoys me more than the goal, so amateur

Been pulling my hair. First James, then Cucurella, then Gallagher, then Sterling, all in quick concession. 
 

Awful, simply awful. 

Wow even Palmer is brainless today

Serious questions need to be asked. We are playing a Newcastle team that has a depleted squad. Why can we never embark on a winning run? This is the best time to be playing them. Ridiculous.

Just terrible. Absolutely no chemistry today.

All the injury crisis and Newcastle are battering us.... we deserved to be put in our place with this kind of a sh*t performance.

TBF they have had 4 players return for today. Almiron, Izak, Schar and Guimares.

Let’s see if they can freshen things up. 
 

Come on there’s still time.

Team is miles away from looking anything that remotely resembles a title winning side. Complacency, naivety, and ignorance everywhere. 

Slight improvements from last year, but not much has really changed all that much. There's a reason we are in the bottom half ot the table. A win against 9 men, and a draw againdt City celebrated like a win because of how low our standards have fallen, doesn't mean anything's turned around. We will still struggle to make top 10 with this billion pound squad.

This is such a Chelsea performance. f**king tired of turning up against the big hitters, then when it comes to teams 8th or lower, we just don't do anything. This is why I don't back us for a win in the prediction game anymore, I expect us to not turn up.

Eddie Howe has newcastle functioning as a well oiled machine, doesn't matter if they have injuries, every play that comes in knows what they are supposed to do. Our players got too cocky after the city game and have been careless all game.

Because we signed a bunch of untalented young players.

There's no question to ask really the answers are clear.

The only real question is why we signed so many sh*t players with such a large budget but answering it doesn't solve anything.

This squad doesn't win games consistently because it isn't a good squad.

1 in 5 league games now on our supposed good run.

Naive is a great word to describe this lot. Still a lot to learn.

Ah yes, the old "everyone stand still 30 yards out from goal" tactic. That'll lead to lots of goals.

What? no he hasn't. That was his first big error in like 2 years. He's been our only good defender in years too.

Eh? He literally gifted Villa the points in the game that Gusto was sent off - that’s just off the top of my head. There are more…

Our most senior players are making the most basic of errors. 

I want to believe Poch being on the touchline would have made a difference but I doubt it

10 men now 

 

getting worse 

A bit strong to be giving Silva daggers.

The amount of times he digs us out is unreal, and he is one of only a handful that actually gives a sh*t.

Cut him some slack in a rare mistake.

Newcastle made a serious squad and if not for the injuries and Tonali gambling they would be an even more scary team. We on the other hand don't have any cutting edge in the squad, our players don't fight for the ball.
