    ETH got it all wrong today. took of antony who was the only threat. rashford has been anonymous and he should have been replaced. the two CBs was just weird. bruno poor, sabitzer poor, shaw poor. Only varane and martinez any credit
     
    The way the team has been playing the last five minutes, we deserve to concede again. Absolutely pathetic amount of effort from most of them out there
     
    Weak, weak, weak. All over the pitch. And yet again, when the going gets tough and there is a setback, we fold and give up.
     
    Behind Newcastle after 27 games and deservedly so. No arguments over squad quality stand up to scrutiny when you look at what Newcastle and Brighton are fielding. We’ve scored the same amount of goals as them, but have conceded 18 more. That’s not good enough from the manager or the players. This squad should never be posting those figures in comparison with today’s opposition.

    Home comforts and a ludicrous run of generous cup draws have masked over consistently underwhelming performances against anyone half decent away from home. You can’t ship three points to everyone else in the top half of the table. Another day when the manager and every single player is found wanting outside Old Trafford.
     
    Beaten by a team of players who wanted it far more. Too many powder puf players who just couldn't be that bothered.
    Very very poor.
     
    Strange taking off Anthony as well he was comfortably our best attacker
     
    Terrible away record for ETH against top half teams. I think he has to take most of the blame today too.

    I somewhat think EtH experimented and wrote off the game because we've got two more home games where we're expected to win

    Don't think so at all. Feel our midfield without Casemiro is absolutely pedestrian. Bruno is never a midfielder. He is a very high risk #10. Playing him in a 3 won't ever help.

    Worst part is Newcastle deserved this totally and even in the league cup final they were the better team. Eth has to improve our passing ability and controlling the game. We are just very vertical and need someone to control the game.
     
    It’s cute that they’ve won their cup final today. I do hope this club doesn’t become a major force, the fans are fecking weapons.
     
    Feck Newcastle and Eddie Howe.
    A team that never won anything.

    The players didn’t show up and the manager didn’t either.
     
    Deservedly lost. Fortunate it was only 0-2. Pathetic from the players & the managerial tactics.

    Ole would never take off both CBs when it's 1-0. I'm stumped by that decision. Yeah we were playing badly, but it only takes one deflection and it's a draw.

    We threw the towel in with those subs.

    You're actually right. I struggle to remember a single idiotic decision of that proportion
     
    This is also what you get when you have to start players coming back from knocks because you do not trust the replacements. For all the signings he has made have been mainly good, a couple of injuries or suspensions and we are back to the same old players. In hindsight, good old hindsight maybe the F.A.Cup needed to go. We do not have the depth of squad to go for all competitions. I have given up on Sancho unfortunately.
     
    The wankfest over these Gregg's clowns is bizarre. fecking unbearable

    We were playing quite bad before the League cup win as well IMO. We just happened to have two really good performances against Barcelona in-between.
     
    We haven't been good really, and Newcastle fully deserve their victory. I have been worried about how we may manage the full season... our (lack of) quality has been exposed here, we've been roughed up, beaten up, their crowd have been terrific and it could have been worst if not for DDG.

    We look weak today, compared to the power of Newcastle. We really need to clear out some this squad. Don't know how but we need to. Too many average players.
     
    Funny listening to the commentators talk like beating us is some monumental achievement. My nephew’s u6 team would give us a run right now. Probably look more threatening in the air, as well.
     
    We've been shocking since Eriksen got injured. Riding our luck most of the time just like under Ole.
     
    Full-time
    FT than feck! Got what we least deserved. It could have been a lot more of an embarrassing margin.

    Does anyone want my ticket against Brentford for Wednesday night?

    Really? Tbf, it's down to pure luck that we aren't down by four or five goals. To fecking Newcastle United.

    That anyone thinks that United are gonna be a serious title contender any time soon is a big joke.

    What does ''To fecking Newcastle United'' mean? Newcastle is a good team.. its not like they are a shit team that dominates. They are a good team that dominates

    You're right. Plucky Newcastle were so lucky to get anything out of this with four times as many shots as us. Some people on here man.
