Newcastle (H) 28/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[NicholasG1973]

We got what we deserved.

Scored at then defended for our lives.

The fact that Bruno can’t see just how utterly abysmal Hwang is, is reason enough why he should leave immediately after the final whistle.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It seems we're in for a long season.

We shouldn’t be though. A decent manager would do so much better with these players.

 

[The Bear]

How is Traore not on the pitch?

Because Hwang apparently. Why he was the better option beggars belief.

 

[Alan]

How is Traore not on the pitch?

I know this is rhetorical but I'm fucking apoplectic right now

He's not on the pitch because my 11 year old nephew is a better manager than the fucker we have "coaching" this side

 

[Carrotdude]

I just hope by the time Bruno gets the boot it’s not too late

 

[Wolvensam]

Here comes the Trippier winner…

 

[Jack Regan]

New manager needed far more than a new forward.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Off the bar and now a FK on the edge of the box.

 

[big mean bunny]

I mean, that goal isn't the managers fault directly, but these results aren't sustainable long term.

He is the one who has left the team as it was despite the sustained pressure. One of the things Sir Alex Ferguson was big on was the idea "Pressure is cumulative" - we have no plan, utterly determined to lose this.

 

[jdrodrigues]

We shouldn’t be though. A decent manager would do so much better with these players.

Yep.

An I'm partial for Lage, but fuck me. He should never had started this season.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

That's fucking shit finish

 

[WsWolf]

I mean, that goal isn't the managers fault directly, but these results aren't sustainable long term.

Who put him on the pitch? Or did he sub himself on. Love the mental gymnastics going on not to blame the obvious.

 

[Wolvensam]

The subs were far too late and the wrong ones. Nunes was blowing for 20-25 minutes

 

[Alan]

Absolutely diabolical. I'd rather have Walter fucking Zenga.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I’m amazed we didn’t throw that away at the end. Bruno out.

 

[The Bear]

Who put him on the pitch? Or did he sub himself on. Love the mental gymnastics going on not to blame the obvious.

It's like you don't understand the word 'directly'.

I already said he shouldn't have been on.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Looks like not a lot has changed. No way Bruno is getting a tune out of that lot. Not good enough.

 

[The Bear]

Verdict thread is now open. Closing this one.

 

[Jack Regan]

If Liverpool are serious about buying a new midfielder then we need to hope Klopp wasn't watching this. The rest of our team can get in the sea, hopefully holding the manager under the water.
