If we could sort out our defensive limitations more than I think we could improve. Missing Europe next season might not be a bad thing unless it leads to another exodus.
I'd agree with this. Despite their lack of success they have a brilliant following and I don't think I've ever met a Geordie who doesn't support Newcastle.
We have conceded more than 2 goals in six games - Fulham (3), Luton (4), Chelsea (3), Villa (6), AEK Athens (3) & West Ham (3).
Verbruggen was in goal for the West Ham match and Steele the other five. I think it is time to give Bart an extended run in goal.
We have a very tough run in of games in the Prem. However, I can see us causing some upsets in the title race if we are out of Europa and concentrate solely on our league matches. If we are still in the Europa in the latter stages then we might finish 12th indeed.
I'm a little unsure of this debate around RDZ.
Personally I think that like most sides out of the money ladened top six we are struggling with being in Europe and the rigors of the Premier League. We just don't have a big enough or good enough squad to cope with the inevitable injuries and...
Because on that first 45 minutes they are way better than us.
We can't defend and create little. Playing side ways on the half way line 2-0 down and a minute to go and we can't work out that the ball needs to go into their box to score. - no urgency or football sense
Oh it's a definite tactic coming from the Fulham manager. Which is why is was quite funny/ironic that Fulham chose to highlight Fernandes feigning injury tricks at Old Trafford on TikTok. :giggle:
I do hope so.
It's a shame he didn't lunge forward and connect with our fifth at Sheff U as I'm sure when he gets one he will get scoring regularly again.
Can we have a poll for predicting in which minute the first Fulham player lays down clutching some part of his body and wanting the ref to stop play. If so I'm going for 4 minutes.
