No pace, no movement, no urgency, body language of the team is fucking awful, utterly predictable coming forward.

Too many players who are not good enough at this level, and - I am starting to think - a manager in the same class.

The players don’t believe in the system we are playing or what is being asked of them. They look completely bewildered by it all. No confidence in every possible way on display.

Fuck off El Ghazi, you're abysmal.

There aren't many realistic manager options I'd take in a heartbeat right now, but Benitez is one of them.

Is Benitez still available?

Is quite possibly the post of the day.

I think that’s been the case for a number of weeks.

Pathetic from Dean and his team and appalling recruitment from Pitarch.

El Ghazi booked and then subbed for Trez.

68 minutes it took him to realise AEG wasn't contributing.

El Ghazi has a stinker yet somehow manages to remain on the pitch for 68 minutes.

I think he forgot he was on and the yellow card suddenly reminded him.

Yes and wants to come back to the UK

Worth remembering he took the Geordies down so not the messiah some claim him to be. Bruce has done better than him this year as well. Maybe he ain’t that good
Did he? Thought he got them out of the championship . Our summer recruitment looks increasingly disastrous

That made me chuckle and by fuck I need cheering up.
