It's fecking painful when you're beaten in every single aspect of a game. Totally outplayed

Exactly this. These players cost so much and earn so much and they can't even touch Newcastle in any area. Utterly dominated and outclassed without any real threat at all.

We have incredibly expensive players who can't even do the basics 50% of the time. It's so depressing to watch.
 
Ole's PSG is ETH's Barcelona, and now it's the same situation of that season where no one really wants to finish in 3rd and 4th so anyone between Newcastle to Villa could stumble in those last two spots.
 
Well this was incoming. I had a bit of hope with the international break but it wasn’t to be.
 
Just reinforces the need to get rid of the average players that we've had for years.
Awful performance.
 
Well, that’s me not entering any player performance threads until after Wednesday (hopefully).
 
This was wrong on so many levels. ETH messed it up today big time.
 
Lethargic, insipid display, shown no fight and were just going through the motions from minute one.

Only De Gea and Antony did half-decent.
 
Barely worth discussing. So much wrong from start to end. Never looked like getting anything.
 
Please no more Weghorst.
As much as I like his effort that was genuinely appalling.
Not the only one by any stretch but he was desperate today.
Could easily have been 4 or 5
 
Overall pretty rubbish from us, but it’s amazing how the Saudis have turned them around like this
 
Outclassed by a fecking Eddie Howe team ffs. We made the southern square jawed chipmunk look like a good manager.
 
I knew this would be one tough game and we would have to graft and also have luck to get anything from it. But the performances out there today were shocking, we can’t handle a press and we constantly have brain fart decisions waiting to happen. As for the subs of Varane and Martinez………I genuinely can not figure out the reasoning for that one at all, seriously just why???? We still have Brentford and Brighton to come yet, the wheels can still fall off massively unless this shower of cowards get a grip of the, what a bunch of snowflakes really.
 
Players aren’t working for each other anymore. Too much walking off the ball in attack and defense. No energy bar 10-15 minutes after Newcastle scored. This mental fragility needs to be weeded out.
 
Thoroughly deserved loss. EtH needs to find a new midfield combination for the 2 remaining league matches without Casemiro. I don't care if we sit back and play for the draw by parking the bus for both those games. It's clear we can't play at all without our new midfield recruits. There is a real chance that we lose both games as our midfield is shocking and no matter how good the defenders play, it eventually breaks down.

At least Martial looked good. Isak made the difference for them, hopefully Martial does the same for the remaining of the season.
 
Losing I can cope with but getting taught a footballing lesson from Newcastle, I can't. They are a team of players with lessor ability but they play as a team. I'm still wanting to see a Itd team consistently control games but not sure that is ever hoing to transpire when we seem to accumulate such mentally weak fodder.

The players only deserve Europa league but us as fans have to go along with that!
 
Bruno is a problem when things aren't going his way
 
I thought I was cruel with my player ratings, only to find out that I have been too kind.
 
Deserved nothing, got nothing. On another day, and against a more capable opponent, it could have ended in an absolute humiliation. We haven't had a good game in quite a while. If Spurs get their act together, we will be in trouble for top-four.
 
Predictably awful. We just can’t play without Casemiro and Eriksen.
 
The most predictable defeat of the season.

I'm amazed that some fans actually believe we might challenge for the title next season. We're miles away. We'd need around 5-6 successful signings for that, or multiple players to suddenly improve drastically.
 
Please no more Weghorst.

If Martial is fit for Wednesday and hasn't done himself a mischief today, you would hope Weggy is back to the bench.
 
Mentality midget performance again in a big game away form home.

This had nothing to do with tiredness or any of other excuses we normally throw around after abject performances like this.

We did not want to know form the first minute , all we were interested was raising that white flag , taking our beating and going home , it could easily have been another Etihad or Anfeild result if Newcastle were a bit more composed.

Lucky we have that Caraboa cup in the bag because this season is starting to look just like other season gone by recently

Under Ole Roy Keane said these players would get any manager the sack , give them time and they will eventually get ETH the sack as well. So much more overhaul needed in this squad.
 
Ole's PSG is ETH's Barcelona, and now it's the same situation of that season where no one really wants to finish in 3rd and 4th so anyone between Newcastle to Villa could stumble in those last two spots.
Have a word with yourself. There's huge differences between those two games, like night and day.
 
Fecking wasted the 1st half with Wout (teachers pet) wasting the game away. 2nd half wasted another 15 mins before making any subs trying to change the game. Could have played another 2 hours and still wouldn't have scored. Too little too late...
 
Blinkers much.

Ten Hag got it wrong today, we move on to the next one.
