FT: NEWCASTLE UTD 3 : 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Very disappointed with today, but we all knew it was going to be tough this season.
Looking at our squad, no way should we even be where we are.
Enjoy the break all.

Reading your post, are you suggesting we have a squad that should not be in the bottom 3 ?
I think you are giving these players far too much credibility.

And the manager. And the owners. Premier League in name only.

Calm down moody, it was more that you were talking in the past tense - "we failed to register a shot on target" - about a game that still had 20 mins left to play

When he points he's usually reminding someone to cover thier position , because if he goes to that player, the player he's covering becomes free in space.

If a player gets beat though he is then obligated to move move to cover , once again promoting a pointing moment , as his man has become free.

He works like a dog on that field,and has never let us down that is the way I see it anyway .

Ok, it's all about opinions I suppose.

However, I have to disagree. Gunnarsson lacks pace and runs around in circles but to little effect, similar in many ways that Paul Bryson used to do... some fans love to see a player running non-stop, personally I'd rather they use that energy more constructively. Gunnarsson is not a good passer of the ball, which for a midfielder is a definite weakness.

We have to get better than him and Ralls, they're no better than mid to lower Championship level.

He's mainly been given the task of man marking unfortunately he can't keep up with the man he's usually marking then leaves space for the man he's not marking then decides to follow the ball then leave the man he's supposed to be marking free :shrug:
