A relation who lives just outside Newcastle was telling me the Newcastle fans only realise just how good he is since his absence. The so called can't kick it straight obsession didn't bother them in the slightest. Just how lucky were we ? Very lucky. Trafford and Muric aren't fit to lace Pope's boo...

I'd like to see a psychiatric report on each of the 4 who voted Muric man of the match.

Based on some of the comments on certain threads on here, I can probably name them too!

fidelcastro

The Bellamy quotes about Muric weren't actually the most surprising thing he said post match. He still firmly believes we'll stop up!

Righto Craig!

We certainly know what the results would have continued to be with Trafford in the team.

You must lend me that crystal ball.

hate stuff like this tbh

We've lost 1 in 5 with him in the team btw, so "ya boo sucks" (blows raspberry)

And it could well have been much better than that without him.

We'll never know.

fidelcastro

Stuck in no-man's-land against Bournemouth and Fulham allowing himself to be easily lobbed, nailed to his line away at Arsenal allowing a goal from a corner, his attempt at coming for a corner at Liverpool costing us another. And that's just the ones that came to mind reading this thread. And none ...

fidelcastro

I haven’t dared watch it back yet, but that’s what I thought he had done - and if so it’s just really poor technique and an overconfidence in his ability. Even in possession he seems to do this thing where he rolls the ball one way and another with his studs rather than using the inside or outside ...

I'm saying it because if you know him well you don't say this:

Only Jay will know what he said and what he meant

It's not difficult

Which is exactly what you said too.

Have you been drinking?

Then what, what?

You disagreed with Tony's point about Jay, so what do you really think?

Was Jay being racist or not? Tony stated he didn't think he was.

How anyone can boo an anti-racism initiative is completely beyond me.

After watching MOTD I can’t understand how odobert doesn’t get a penalty in the first half, he gets taken out completely

Absolutely right, and Muric's mistake looks even worse having seen it back.

I feel your pain.

Show me the saves Trafford made that Muric does or picking out a pass 50 yards up the pitch or fitting our system like Muric does

Trafford has made plenty of saves. He wasn't ready for the PL, but Muric definitely wasn't the answer either.

Pretty much, yeah.

Sorry I forgot, the alternative... *checks notes*... 1 home win, 9 losses and 1 draw, was a much better alternative, wasn't it?

Show me a mistake from Trafford that was worse than the ones Muric has made in the last two games please!

Muric doing his utmost to show why there were concerns about him at this level. From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Yet the experts on here wanted him in.

Hope they're happy.

Why we are going down.
Individual errors
Missing easy chances
Good build up that comes to nothing once we get near their goal!
Not shooting when presented with openings.

And having the wrong manager who bought the wrong players for a PL campaign.

fidelcastro

Mistakes or not since Muric has come in we’ve won 6 points in five games. Over a season that averages out to 45.6 points , the cock up was not playing him from the start and the continuation of playing other players out of position or not playing them at all for reasons unknown. Bensons another one...

fidelcastro

Muric 5
Assignon 6
Ekdal 8
Esteve 7
Vitinho 7
Berge 7
Cullen 6
Bruun Larsen 5
Odobert 4
Foster 6
Fofana 5

Taylor 6
Rodriguez 5

One more nail in the coffin. I hope all those clamouring for Muric to be recalled are happy.

signed 16 last season and it didn't happen. Bucket loads you can throw at VK (like playing Foster on the wing wtf) but player concentration is farcical It didn't happen because they were largely different players playing against lesser opposition, so it's a silly defence of Kompany. I don't what it...

fidelcastro

I wonder who signed these players that throw away leads and concede at crucial times???

I don't understand the emphasis on expected goals.

And it's clear to see we've had problems at both ends of the pitch - we've been so open and poor defensively.

Who decides what an expected goal is?

fidelcastro

I don't need to read it back, you said in his first season we got relegated with more points. Well, lets give Dyche the relegated with more points trophy if it makes you feel better - the point I made was we still got relegated, who cares if we got 33 points, 24 points, 12 points - the outcome is t...

mate, we were ******* dreadful for at least the last 2-3 years under him and week after week he used to say we had played well. Undeniable But yet we still managed to stay up. Admittedly we were really struggling in his last season, but we still had more points from fewer games than we have now. In...

In regards to dyche saying after the game that Everton’s ugly performance was by design, I’m not buying that at all. They just aren’t very good but we are worse and gifted them a goal. Dyche didn’t set up any different to what he normally does. Yes without points deduction Everton would be comforta...

Dyche said it every week too and he was rarely right, the Everton fans are already sick of the same lines he comes out with every week. Typical manager speak, doesn't mean they are clueless.

I don't know what you watch

fidelcastro

On his MOTD interview, he claimed we played well.

Absolutely clueless.

fidelcastro

Muric cost about 3 million quid, Allison cost about 70, Ederson about 35 - would you expect him to be as good as them ? Bonkers :D No. I wouldn't. I wanted an upgrade on him, that's all. Presumably Kompany thought that Trafford would take to the PL like a duck to water. Sadly that hasn't happened.

fidelcastro

I agree about Trafford, I disagree about Muric - we've seen both Allison and Ederson do exactly what Muric did today (in terms of giving the ball away and conceding a goal). He generally isn't as good as those two though. Although you'd think he was, given some of the comments on here about him in ...

I think its the first time I've seen us concede that type of goal in 20 years. I'd call that a freak. I've seen us score a few similar mind As the eternal optimist Mr. Vegas has enlightened us all...

We've lost 1 in 5 by a freak goal. You might not like it but we are now a lot more competitive at this level and have improved drastically since the start of the season.

It wasn't a freak goal. It was a cock-up.

Clubs like ours can't afford to waste 100 million on players.

We'll do very well to make a profit on any of them when they want away.

I hope we keep him. One of the unique things about this football club is how few managers we go through. That must be an attractive proposition for future managers as well.

Hard to do though, Brighton spent fortunes buying inadequate players before finding the gems. Leeds spent something like 30 million on Rutter and still got relegated.
