Watching some of the Newcastle v Barcelona last night showed how far behind we are at the moment.  The change in tempo and

movement at times from Barcelona was something to see

Watching  the team that was beating lille in conference  to this one now- it really feels we have gone backwards by a huge amount. Ill happily settle for modtable if it meant we took europa seriously  and bought the trophy home.

We have to show more attackinv ambition  against Sunderland.  Its been  mediocre and predictable  football thus far

I'd rather focus on our impending and surging turnaround of form. Talkin' bout our regeneration.

That would be a disastrous  result. If we cant score past Sunderland  let alone win the game we are in serious trouble this season

You are right, if we lose this one we are in trouble.
It would not surprise me, I am expecting a draw.

Im way more concerned about sunday than last weekend in many ways. Players in part dont look bothered and can see an early goal and a bit of a collapse. Fully expecting defeat so im hoping this negativity isnt proven!

Team coach got done for speeding while on the way up to Sunderland. So yay, our first 3 points of the season.
