Davkaus Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If you're Smith, how do you let that shit continue at half time? Are the players really that bad that they can't make a man advantage for 80+ minutes count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Really poor from Norwich, missed a massive opportunity there. Despite the draw, I think Newcastle will be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not safe just yet thanks to those five defeats in a row. I have zero worries about relegation this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Meh, Newcastle no better than Bruce’s team, Norwich will kick themselves big time. I was gonna put the Leeds game on but apparently Michael Owen is involved so I don’t think I’ll bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were easily going to score 10 even if they stayed in 1st gear given how bad Latvia were…surely after that you may as well go for it. This was never going to be only 4-0 or 5-0. Honestly, right down to kids level at under 10s I've seen it drilled in to players to not take the piss, and they rotate and take it easy when it's clear it's a whitewash. When it gets to 6 or 7 I'd consider it common decency to chill out and not keep thrashing it like England did. I blame FIFA for letting this farce unfold more than the players, though.

Peter Griffin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I assume Newcastle will try and buy their way to survival in Jan. I am looking forward to seeing the ageing, overpaid journeymen they bring in. I am sure they will love the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Newcastle really need to win the next game against Burnley now. Looked poor but obviously losing a man so early didn’t help. Norwich, dear me. Ponderous football, almost sleepwalking stuff. Two very poor sides on show this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not coaching or telling Billy Gilmour to take a touch, look right, see his wide open full back, take a touch, look for a better pass to the statues in front of him, take a touch, look left, take a touch, look right again before making the 10 yard pass that was blindingly obvious in the first place but now isn't as open as it was before You can say that he controls the lines and committing the fullbacks forward or even the game plan of playing 10 yard passes rather than going direct and long but what was killing them was the speed of pass and that's not him that's the players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
