Newcastle 0-3 Leicester

Fucking awful, no effort at all.

Which is fitting considering the club puts no effort at all into competing eh.

I thought Lejeune, Fed, Schar would be our strongest 3.

 

How wrong I was. 

I'm not excusing Lejeune but when you're defence is up against it so frequently, they're made to look like worse players.

Come over to the dark side, it's quite fun actually. 

It is

This could be 5-0 again. Leicester have been below par and leggy, imo, but it has still been easy. The individual errors recently are farcical. I do not care who the manager is, playing the ball slowly across your own box in that manner is inexcusable at any level of the game. Schar and Lejeune should both be dropped for their recent performance, but there is no one to replace them. Notably the best chance at 0-0 fell to Joelinton, who was never going to score. Laughable quality at both ends. Leicester have great quality in midfield and NUFC is trying to compete with a half-injured Shelvey and Hayden. That battle is incredibly one-sided and will only get worse with no changes. This version of 3-5-2 is badly exposing the lack of quality in midfield.

They would be if we had a midfield and a manager.

This.

They are our three best, maybe Lascelles ahead of Ferd you could argue, the best when managed by Rafa, a mess when managed by a vegetable.

We've seen that trickle-down in attitudes over dubbed over again in the Ashley era. Players know we're not there to compete anf they lose something. The manager repeats the board's agenda then the players repeat the manager's agenda.

Just goes to show how good Rafa is, not that any pundit or so called expert would say it, or even see it the useless blind shites.

☝🏻 this is truth, there's no protection for the back 3, Leicester are cutting through at ease, it's all very last ditch. They can't play it ou5 because no one is making themselves available and as soon as pressure builds we hoof it and it's coming straight back. Tactically inept and the second half is only going to get worse.

Argh man 3 subs before half time isn’t going to end well

Can you realy blame passing the ball accross your own box on lack of fitness?

Shelvey done. Wont finish this game with 11 men.

Growing injury list. There's our excuse to go out in the 3rd round again

Argh man 3 subs before half time isn’t going to end well

Bruce has managed the squad well to ensure injuries have been kept to a minimum.

Haven't been watching and I've only just noticed those subs.

Bruce will be livid that he can't sub Muto off.

2 nil down and 3 'like for like' subs, its almost as if he has no idea how to change anything

:lol:

Hilarious.  You hopeless cunt.

Down to 10 men through your incompetence.

Can you realy blame passing the ball accross your own box on lack of fitness?

No. It was unacceptable.

Leicester could and should get a cricket score today. It’s men against boys.

Schar knackered now. Down to 10. 🙂

All the injuries are lols when you consider how we we've basically had a near exemplary fitness record over the past three years.

Mustn't have done enough running during preseason. Bruce will have to ask the lads at kwikfit for more advice on how to keep people fit

Can you realy blame passing the ball accross your own box on lack of fitness?

Fatigue affects decision making as much as physical attributes. Either way it was an unforgivable mistake but yes you can absolutely blame bad decision making on fatigue.

Gutted I am not going to see the super sub brothers in Gayle and Atsu making an appearance today. It’s what I look forward to all week.
