4-1 Nketiah

When we lose away from home we do it badly

[Goldenballs]

Only positive was I had a bet on Mateta to score and palace to win 11/4.

Go you

Thanks.

Our goal difference says it all really!

I can still imagine us missing out on European competition because of it.

Do you know Fridays lotto numbers?

This clubs a disgrace at times

Yes decisions go against you but to implode  again like this is utterly pathetic  and not acceptable

[brontebilly]

Who is Konsa blaming now?

Juts told my palace dad in law he will score dont worry

Just as a question, but how did Newcastle do last season? They were mid-table(ish) if I recall?

The pressure of the additional games has brought injuries and fatigue.

I don’t think it addresses the fact that we’re as frail as a pair of paper pants that they use for surgery - even full strength, we still messed up a lot of defensive things.

It needs changing next season though. Simply not good enough this season.

And as I write this, I see a 4th has gone in.

Pathetic.

You were saying?

Story checks out. Villa gonna be Villa.

I know one was an occassion, but 9 conceded in 2 visits to Palace is pretty shit.

Emery having a nightmare tonight. What is our setup at the back...Bailey kind of RWB but not really. Three centre backs marking nobody and Digne lost, utterly lost on left.

Totally agree. Tactics all wrong by Emery.

As soon as I saw we were playing 3/5 at the back I knew the game was lost. It's a desperate measure to try and improve a defence by adding players rather than correcting mistakes

We don't have a CDM available though. I think he was trying to find a solution to that problem and threw off our balance a bit. Hopefully this is a wake-up call for Friday.

This fixture build up is absolute bull.

We could have just played Bogarde there. I think from what he's shown that it's probably his best position.

Bogarde has been horribly out of his depth tonight. But what was possibly going through Emery's head that he landed on playing him right of a 3!

Bogarde is the one I'd criticise the least

Emery has such a phobia of playing a right-footed CB at LCB, he'll play a right-footed midfielder there instead.

And Nketiah scores. Of course he does.

Deary me..why do we not turn up against dross..Palace, Wolves, Ipswich....Jesus wept

[Somniloquism]

When Emery fucks up, he really fucks up.
