Anther poor performance same tactics as last season. Ben Arfa only bright spark. Pardew hasn't learnt nothing from last season. Hopefully the Jonas injury is long term. ( not life threaten before I get shot down) Saying that Pardew would play him using crutches.

Yep, agree. Still look just as bad as where we finished last season.
Our passing is shocking! Ben Arfa is our only chance if creating anything. But he's going to have to beat at least two people then put in a peach of a cross or bullet shot. Rest of he midfield just does nothing.
Would not be suprised if we never have more possession than the opposition in a game all season.

Tiote and Jonas do nothing but work hard but surely that should be expected of every player, so what do they bring to the team? Can't pass, can't score, can't tackle, give away free kicks.

Again Debuchy is terrible and gives away the penalty. We were much better with Mbiwa at rightback after Debuchy went off.

Sissoko has been compared to yaya toure but is know where near that good, again he gives nothing special to the team. Is not a defensive ball winner, is not creative and is not a goal scorer.

Am now really concerned for this season coming. Need a left-winger desperately and a creative good passing midfielder.

Or if the problems not the players, it's the tactics. Have defo learnt nothing from last season. Are going to have to hope that Remy turns out to be a world beater.

Ben Arfa was 3rd worst on the pitch behind guti and shola! Dummett was the bright spark!

Ben arfa had a good game. Dummett was really good

Dummett was good and the find of the pre-season. We have a good squad with good technical ability just a shame we have a manager despite what he spouts has learnt nothing from last season. To be brutally honest I don't think he knows how to change it.

Pre season! I remember rob lees testimonial. after that I thought crap relegation is deffers. Only for bobby robson to push us close to title and f8nish 3rd. ok 3rd to 6th is beyond us but a good home draw and wembley and competative push for 8th could be on

Pards is no Sir Bobby though and that is the problem.

If you could pick any manager who has managed a club in the last few seasons,
Who would you pick?

NUFC4L1F3

I presume you mean past 3 or 4 years out of kinnear, hughton and pardew, it would be pardew because he got us to fifth but if you added keegan then it would be keegan

Gus poyet

Jurgen Klopp or Marcelo Bielsa

OTHERS:
Jupp Heynckes
Jose Mourinho

Sorry I read your post wrong! Mourinho or laudrup

Shearer?

No, Who has managed any club sorry for confusion

Seems by the way the toon are playing v braga we will be going 4 the physical approach next season.

That is the stoke approach, so not only you lot playing hoof ball last season now you will be playing the red card approach as stoke, your going down! {Ed001's Note - while I personally hate the Stoke approach, saying it would lead to any team going down is a bit strange when Stoke used it and didn't get relegated.}

I'm not sure about this Gomis deal, it's a 9 m deal that we could just get Brown Ideye for who's 4 years younger, I know Ideye may not be as good as Gomis but he can certainly improve whereas Gomis is at the peak of his career

So pardew has put a £30M price tag on Kebab looks like he'll be staying then no one is going to pay that crazy amount of money.

The thing is with football, when a big or bigger club comes in for a player they end up wanting to go just because of money

These players want to go because of bigger clubs coming in so more money offered to them
•Suarez and Liverpool, put a ridiculous price tag on him, he wants to play CL footy, now he hates everything about Liverpool
•Bale and Spurs, wants to play for R. Madrid who can double wages, angry with Levy and AVB for trying to ruin his dream
•Rooney and Man U, wants to go to Chelsea to get 1st team, Man U won't sell now he is angry with Moyes

Same thing will happen with Cabaye, Spurs, Man U, PSG or Monaco will come knocking on the door preparing to double his wages and return to France or give him CL and will want to move, I respect the owners and managers tryin to keep hold of their best players but something's don't go your way

ED, Why was my Lacazette post not published? {Ed007's Note - If you had left a tag or registered I could probably tell you. Lots of anonymous posts just get deleted.}

It would be good to allow more through
Let them be posted and it will, in all fairness, improve a good site {Ed007's Note - No it wouldn't. All the stupid anonymous posts are wasting the sites. Half the time on here we don't know if it's a Newcastle fan giving their opinion or a Sunderland fan trolling. We encourage people to tag their post or even better register, you will find that vastly improves the quality and the interaction on the site. If you don't register or tag your post you really can't complain if your post isn't posted.}

What doumean tag? also how dou register? {Ed007's Note - I mean just think up a name or sign-off and put it at the bottom of your post or if you register (there is a link at the top of the page to register, in blue writing) then your tag/nickname will automatically be on your post. It really helps the sites run smoother. Have a look at the Man Utd or Liverpool sites where we have been implementing it recently and the way posters interact with each other.}
