Howmanheyman 26787 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I tell you what though, our record v these is fucking lifting, mind. They did us twice at home in the cup when I was a kid, same again last few years, beat a KK side wearing a garish pink monstrosity of s kit in the 90's. Honestly, can only think of a Quinny hat trick 3-0 away win in our favour off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Perez's take on the match: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/26/newcastle-united-ayoze-perez-brighton-striker-chris-hughton Nice bit here, even if it is just playing up to the fans: It is surprising a forward regularly watched by Barcelona remains on Tyneside but unlike the unsettled Moussa Sissoko (the France midfielder is once again omitted from Benítez’s squad as he desperately attempts to engineer an escape) – Pérez has never sought a move “I’ve always been happy here,” he said. “That hasn’t changed – not even when we were relegated. Of course, relegation was bad but not once have I thought about leaving. “I believe staying here is what’s best for my career. If you’re happy in one place, why leave? During the summer I could have gone to other teams but I didn’t.” And Barcelona? “That is something big,” he said. “But if I started thinking ‘Barcelona, oh Barcelona’ it would be wrong. Newcastle has given me everything.” Edited August 27, 2016 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Aye the lad's doing it the right way really, we all know full well if a club like Barca seriously come in for him he'd be off like a shot (not that he's at that level mind), but what does him sulking and kicking up a fuss to try and make a move happen do? You just end up getting grief off the fans and possibly end up in the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yep, far more diplomatic this way around and I very much doubt it makes any prospective move less likely. It's not like, if Barcelona were thinking about it, they'd be put off because he hadn't thrown a hissy fit in an attempt to engineer a move.

Howay 12452 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Aye in fact I'd say for the most part it would help, as he'd be a back up at a side like that and they'd want to know he could just carry on grafting while not getting his own way.

Howay 12452 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Bit surprised we're not seeing at least one of Gamez or Yedlin start (particularly Gamez), other than that it's pretty much as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 All that money spent and Gouffran is still getting a game and the only attacking option on the bench is Armstrong. If this was McClaren in charge he'd be getting absolutely annihilated. But Rafa has a "Plan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) I suppose the difference is we're winning games, under McClaren we struggled to complete passes. I do agree that for all the money spent it's worrying that we're seeing mostly a team of players who could have started last season but it seems he's spent most of it trying to build some depth in the defence.

He's said he wants two wingers and he's got 2 forwards injured and one incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was McClaren in charge he'd be getting absolutely annihilated. But Rafa has a "Plan". 2 of our strikers and 1 of our wingers are injured. Completely daft to have a go at Rafa when he says we need more bodies in. Plus our most worrying position was in defence and he's ent out and sorted that, something that hasn't been done for years.

Noelie 103 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Todays results have put us down to 15th place, a win for us today would put us up in the top 6. Not that happy with Gouffran and Anita starting, surely Gamez or Yedlin would be a better choice at right back. I think I would have gone with Darlow, and I'd rather see Colback on the pitch rather than Gouffran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34425 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Their back four is Bruno, Duffy, Dunk and Bong. Sounds like something off the Banana Splits. If we can't score past them we should pack it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying annihilate him, what I'm saying is we look threadbare with attacking options considering the money spent. Obviously that game during the week didn't help, it's just alarming. Really need the midfield to push forward today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
