    Max was decent last week... Wilson just hasn't looked good for a while and that's a concern.

    I think they're feeling beaten.

    A scrappy win needed

    I've come to the conclusion that this side is just ****.

    I think the fans including myself thought the players were better and blamed Bruce way more than was justified.

    I questioned a few on here whether it was Bruce or the players.

    Terrible squad. Terrible mentality by most of the players.

    It’s a hangover from the Ashley regime and it’s going to take 2 years to suck it out.

    The good players we have must be sick of seeing the **** ones. We have some horrid players who can’t actually play football.

    On that pitch there was at least 4 that are not even good at football.

    The other clubs are stronger this season.. I mean OK man united are struggling but that's why isn't it?

    I mean we brought in willock and nobody else and everyone else strengthened.

    I thought we'd do OK, but it's really looking like **** at this point, but I think the next two games will be a better gauge on things.

    Too much is being made of formations and style of play and positions at this point in time.

    Doesn't matter if it's today's game or the 80's game, the basics are the same. When in possession be able to control the ball and be able to pass the ball. If your team is in possession you find space for a team mate to pass to you, once you pass the ball you find space to receive the ball again till as a team you shoot. If your team are defending mark the man you are assigned to mark.

    Our lot can't ****ing pass or don't ****ing pass, can't find space or don't find space and can't mark or don't mark.

    With the wealth that the club now has, these ****ers need threatened, not cuddled and smoke blown up their arses. "Start doing your ****ing jobs or your out. We tried being nice and you have failed at the very basics" needs to be the message being put across to them now.

    If they can't do the basics bin them into the development squad till their contracts expire. If they won't do the basics bin them off into the development squad.

    I'm ****ing sick of this pack of bottle merchants. Only one who closed his man down and stuck his foot in to win the ball today was Joelinton. None of the rest got close to their man and half of them didn't know who their man was.

    Every time we concede they **** their pants rather than getting fire in their belly. Entire squad has a looser mentality about them and no invention.

    Yeah that's what I've been saying about today. Arsenal are just far superior in every area.

    We could've tried other ways but the result would 9 times out of 10 be exactly the same.

    We need Brighton to win. And their strikers have no idea where the net is. I’ve never seen strikers but the ball so bad.

    A draw is OK Brighton aren't safe yet

    There's only 11 points between 20th and man united

    Need 4 points from the next two as a minimum.

    I hear you about formation, but we played something unsustainable against Brentford, then today was a bit dull and basic. We need to sort out how we are going to play and be consistent, this isn’t pre-season.

    I feel like nufc are paying for the failure to hold onto a lead vs saints with 1 min to go and the game away at Watford which i still don't know how they didn't win

    Those 4 points would have made things look very differently going into these two home games.

    I have a feeling you may get your wish v Norwich in a 4-3-3.

    I will put today down as Howe not overseeing training personally this week. He's probably tried to use what he knows with Wilson Fraser and Ritchie. What I will say in his defence is that Dubs was brought back in today after Darlow's poor showing last week, Schar was brought in after Clarke's **** show the week before. He will be forced to bring in Fed on Tuesday and Lewis. Let's just hope they grab the opportunity and he doesn't revert back to fist bumps and back slaps.

    The run of games over Xmas looks slightly less evil.

    Leicester and Everton are struggling a bit more than people expected..

    They'll probably be flying then knowing our luck, but that's a plus if they continue current form.

    I'm going to hazard a guess here. If every penny that every government around the world has donated/spent/contributed towards COVID vaccine research was again given to researches to develop a pissed up Schlem translation app.........How long would it take them? :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Squad is poor of course, but it has gotten significantly worse over the past few months.

    I said before Brentford a win was absolutely essential, failing to beat even them with every advantage ours for me was the death knell.

    Yeah we're like 6 points behind Leeds but I think we will go down without registering a single win this entire season, we are absolutely atrocious on every single front.

    **** Rafael Benitez btw for making Lascelles the ****ing captain, nonce decision.

    We can barely attack, we definitely can't defend and we lumbered with one of the worst center backs in the top two divisions of English football as the captain.

    You've been saying for a while now we are about to get a win, yet you've been chatting utter **** every single week.

    Even people on the gen board have been quoting you man, wake up.

    Oh no! Not the sad twats on general chat. Oh no.

    Anyways, we're going to win on Tuesday. Then win the game after that. Then we're going to win the game after that and so on. Get the pattern here?

    As for being ****, have you been in a coma for the past 3 years?
