Joselu - Joselu, wot does Rafa see in You? Hopes dashed, dreams crashed, goal difference smashed. Expected to lose but hoped to keep the score down. Schar and Rondon should have featured. 2 good opportunities to score but sadly they fell to Joselulu.

More than likely, double-decker buses will be parked on the goal-line. Parked any further forward will open the door for the scouse bin-dippers to get at all of the hub-caps Rafa has no doubt approached the County Durham Cricket Club for advice on how to prevent an anticipated cricket score. Dubravka has no doubt made a post-game appointment to see a Chiropractor. Picking the ball from the back of the net repeatedly can cause back problems. I hope my letter to Santa with my Christmas wish enclosed will be received in time. Failing that I will call on Jesus Christ, his dad, Allah, and this bloke called Buddha for their help.

Good thought ewerk, but I haven't been approached ……………...yet.

I think putting Murphy on for Atsu would have been better than Kenedy who is proving to be useless. I think putting Mutu on for Perez in the 2nd half would have helped our attack more. I think taking Diame off and putting Hayden on in the 2nd half would have helped. Putting Yedlin on was futile, help was needed up front not at the back. Tin-hat on.

And wots more we've dropped down to 15th with the Palace win. Closer to a relegation position. C'mon Rafa, pull yer bloody socks up, let's see some fucking improvement. I see Gayle scored 3 today.

2 points hoyed doon the netty with the sloppiest display in a long time. Praise be Mitro didn't score, and he might well have done at the end. Perez, FFS. Diame, FFS. Atsu, FFS. Kenedy, FFS. Satisfied with a point? NO!

Well it was mine on the 13th. Un-noticed as usual.

That's one of the problems when signing Asian and African players who play for their National team.

C'mon Looney Toony, I went straight ……………..to the bar, and not a gay one.

Huh?

What bothers me is lack of improvement and consistency, today we were abysmal compared to last week. What happened to our right side? there was no body there except Manquillo. Most of our attacking play was on the left side, little to none on the right in the first half. Only player who stood out was Dubranka, without him we would have been scored on.

Huddersfield deserved to win! From the kick-off we were second best and it worsened, we were pathetic. However we scored and they didn't and that was that. I'll take the 3 points happily.

I wanna see Mutu in there.

Heartbreaker! Joselulu for Rondon when you're down to 10 men, what were you thinking Rafa? Mutu would have been a better choice in my opinion, he shows more energy. Kenedy should have been brought on much earlier. If Dummett was on the bench why not use him. Perez put in some good work. Sad not to come away with a point, the 10 men deserved it.

The Wolves are at the door, and so few posts.

Can't help you there Kiddo, but it's interesting to know that here in Southern California we get to see more Premier League games than you do. When I see "No TV" in the UK, I watch it here. I've seen live, every Newcastle league game so far this season. Some are streams like yesterday but with an 'Apple TV' gizmo I watch it on my telly.

How the fuck did we come away with a point. Their possession, number of shots, number of corners, amount of pressure, dictated they were gonna win. And we could have won if Atsu had put away the 2 chances he had late on. Murphy's cross for the goal was primo, but apart from that he didn't do too much. Diame filled a Black 'n White shirt but he didn't do much more than that. Lascelles should have prevented their goal, Schar should have scored one, Fernandez was brilliant. Surprisingly Manquillo didn't let us down. I think Mutu should have been put in, he would have added more action and aggression than Perez or Joselulu.

They certainly did.

Dreadful result, this was supposedly one of the winnable games, but then this is Newcassel. Could have been a bigger blow if Andy Carroll had been part of it. I have to criticize Rafa for dropping Clark and starting Manquillo, not s good move. Ki is gonna be an asset to the team if Rafa keeps him in there. Kenedy had another useless/clueless performance. Perez ….*@%$!)+"<#

The word is 'SLOPPY' Perez? FFS. Manquillo? FFS. They look like scoring, we don't.

With Shelvey, Lascelles, & Mutu apparently available, it could provide Rafa with a serious selection problem against West Ham. Ki and Schar have been playing well, Perez not that good, will Rafa make changes or start his last selection?

Will the 'ammers burst our bubble? No doubt Rafa will start with the same line-up that beat Burnley.

Mebbe so but aa divvint see nee Hurst, Peter's an' Moore in yer line-up.

Are you suppose to stop biting when you get to the knuckles? It had all the signs Burnley would tie it up. Joselu for Rondon……….well he could have been a hero if he'd scored. Lot of enterprising attacks that fizzled. Lacelles might find it hard to get his place back from Schar. I dunno about Yedlin's defensive qualities, saw Kenedy back there and Yedlin no where in sight. Whoopee.

I see Huddersfield have climbed above us in the table, knocking us down a peg. A draw on Monday would be good, but 3 points would be very-very good. A loss would only hurt feelings.
