One of the most overrated players in the league.Udogie challenging with his arse
Fair play to Newcastle, especially with their injuries this season, but fuck me how much did we gift it to them.
Embarrassing is an understatement. I want to love Ange but much more of this shit and I will want him gone. Brighton, Fulham and now this is not allowable as this level.
It's not just about getting dicked like this, but it's the worrying signs of his tactics. Our defending at corners and set pieces is pathetic and he's done nothing about it. The highline defending is very worrying as teams have now sussed it out.
I'll give him another transfer window to see if it's just the players he's got at the moment but we're looking so naive under him.
i am prepared to wait for the result at the end of the season... particularly after Liverpool, Arse & Mansh1tty matches.I’m ready for all the disagree marks
I am Ange Out.
This is shite.
Pretty much.It was clear early on that Toons3were closing down quickly and forcing errors.
Regardless of this our midfield passing was really very poor. A 3 metre pass going to a stripey shirt!
They played 3 up front against our 2.
Their 5 at the back enabled two to help press in midfield.
They were faster, more physical and more determined.
We were simply appalling.
We have no plan to penetrate banked defense.
We have no plan, apart from Slippy Mickey to address the long ball.
We've been sussed.
We have a world class keeper!No defence, no midfield and no attack.
Apart from that, we're not bad.
You've outlined Levy's transfer strategy there. Except he's missing the 99p.What a cack way to start the weekend. Utterly miserable. Feel like I've walked into Poundland with only 99p in my pocket.
You'll never sing thatSpurs had 72 % possession and yet lost 0-4
I’m ready for all the disagree marks

This is shite.
Name two…Plenty of positives
AbsolutelyWont make any difference. Look at Carlo Ancelotti at Everton, didn't do shit. Look at him at Real Madrid, wins everything.
We are much closer to Everton than Real Madrid, despite the stadium, revenues and all that. As a club, we accept winning nothing and making up the numbers, just like Everton do. Real Madrid would not accept that for one minute.
Whatever manager we get plays under an ownership that is happy with some Champions League football as an end goal, but will accept not seriously competing to win any competition. Everything reflects that core principle.
Every now and then, the fans get fed up with it and the manager gets sacked. This protects Levy, and on and on it goes.
What positives?Well, that was .. shit.
Plenty of positives in the big picture though, and few reasons to throw everything overboard based on this performance. Changing plans and personell every year will take us nowhere, which last decade also has shown us.
Patience.
Don't worry, by the time the Arse cruise into double figures against them tomorrow, they'll be back down in 5th, and we'd have technically 'moved back into 4th without even playing' either!Villa have managed to go above us without even playing!
Fuck me, what a horrendous, shitshow that was.
Doesn't every manager need time and actual quality footballers???
