Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[Runningman]

Hughes did miss an absolute sitter in the first half.
We just have to tuck our opportunities away.

I know Johnson hasn't been playing much recently, and he wasn't great at all today, but to drag him and leave Pino on is curious.

 

[Nicholas91]

In Glasner we trust but it’s almost as though he deliberately waits for us to inevitably concede to bring Uche on.

Even that feels like a concession that his gameplan hasn’t worked and he’s now hoping for some throw of the dice luck.

We can’t defend set pieces and cannot score up top.

0-2 and we’re in quite a spot of trouble.

May just be fitness as he hasn't played much.

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

i would prefer Devenny to Sosa

Me too, Sosa has shown nothing good, this suggests not on the training ground either

 

[grumpymort]

Why take Johnson off?
Pino is way too light, surely uche would be the more physical option to replace pino, Brennan was playing well,and presumably fit!!

He has only just arrived at the club you can't expect him to play full 90min.

Gamble to even start him he wouldn't have a clue about the system etc.

100% game over now again poor defending

Probably injured.

 

[Spindle]

Another conceded from a corner. We can't get rid of it

 

[Frenchaigle]

All over

 

[Foxy82]

Remember when we could defend?

 

[cardiff eagle]

another two set pieces. So unacceptable

 

[Eaglecoops]

Absolutely useless, the bad run continues, no win in 7. Does anyone actually believe we can win this game?

 

[TheBigToePunt]

Henderson has made some great saves today, but he had also been deeply unconvincing under high balls and crosses, including for both goals.

 

[ASCPFC]

What the hell has happened to set pieces? From good to god awful.

 

[DenTyler]

Not good enough in too many positions. I said it the other night, we don’t have a big enough squad to take the injuries and the loss of Sarr to AFCON. This was always going to be hard and a hard watch. Just hope we get the boys back sooner rather than later.

As I type this we go 2-0 down. Eddie Howe must think its still Christmas.

All teams now taking corners like Arsenal. The only thing I am surprised about is that other teams including us haven’t just copied it before. It’s not rocket science and plays to the law of averages.

 

[Alanh]

And down the league we tumble. We need some support for the injured players.

 

[Painter]

Missing Sarr, Munoz, Kamada, Richards and Eze from last years successful team is going to have an effect, plus 8 more games already over last season. It no surprise we are struggling.

 

[syd snot]

This is f***ing soul destroying s***.

 

[Trapsix]

He has only just arrived at the club you can't expect him to play full 90min.

He is a professional,wasn't showing any signs of fatigue..
Just because you worked on a Mazda....you should be able to find your way around a Toyota!

 

[JHB]

We are such a soft touch. Weak physically, toothless in attack and unable to cope with the EPL right now. As it stands we are the worst team in the division on current form. OG simply failing to get us performing right now. Only hope for this season now is a cup run and getting enough points to avoid a relegation fight
