We had a shit midfield always. Fergie just had another effect on the players that no other manger can have. Now we need actual good players.
You make every loss so much better

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: "It's one of the top moments in my time here, it's been 41 years we've been waiting. A magnificent performance. I know we won't get the headlines because of United and David Moyes, but we deserve them because the players were magnificent.
"I asked them to play differently today, to keep the ball and we did that. We made it difficult for them and it's a great day for us.
"I thought we were worthy, we had control and they didn't have too many moments. When the game was controlled I thought we were in charge. I thought Hatem Ben Arfa changed the game off the bench and he now knows the sort of work rate you need in this team.
"It is tough for David Moyes and I thought events worked against him with no Rooney. He's a great person and great manager and the best thing this club can do is stick by him. They've done that before and he'll come out smiling."

Ah, I apologise. Yeh, something makes me think the board underestimated just how good a manager Fergie was.
He overpaid but who really thought Fellaini would have been so useless. Our midfield needed shoring up and he was supposed to introduce a bit of steel into it. He's been anything but.
Yep.
Spurs are quietly 5 or so points from 4th and that's playing "shit football". Anytime they decide to play (which normally happens over xmas) will see them go near the top four slots.
Liverpool have two amazing strikers at the moment. with one of them injured they've become a one man team. Let's see how long they can hold onto Suarez coat-tails.
Anyone think he'll be in Liverpool in Feb?

There's your proof. Statistically you were outplayed.
We all put in a shift today and that for me is brilliant. Job fucking done.

United will not finish in top 6 even. Mark my words.
I don't understand why you want this bjaelke.
the shot at the end is brilliant.
fabulous cinematography.
I thought Newcastle were far better today than Everton were. We were shocking, but I thought Newcastle were very very good. Couldn't fault any of their players, both centre backs got everything away from the back, the full backs played with width and drive. Midfield three were far superior to our pairing, and Remy held up the ball fantastically well. Maybe they looked better than they were because of how shit we were, but fuck it, credit where credit's due.

Not with Moyes you won't be.
You need a manager used to winning shit, with a winning mentality. Moyes hasn't got that and it has quickly transfered to the players.

Tbh, forget transfers and tactics.
Right now my impression is that the players aren't not really playing for Moyes. Players can play badly but they should be trying and there's been quite a few games this season already where it seems to me like they're not.
That's pretty worrying. The other stuff can be fixed.

Hope you win.
Seeing both Moyes and AVB get embarrassed in one day would be delicious.

Realistically speaking you should be able to make up some ground considering most of the top 8 sides are playing each other in the next few weeks
I think we'll beat Spurs. I haven't seen anything from them yet that makes me worried about conceding, and I fancy Suarez to nab 1 or 2.
We have a good record at the Bridge. Worse Liverpool teams have beaten better Chelsea teams than this there. Reckon a draw is doable.
City are going to teabag us into oblivion.
Yes. Club won't let him go in Jan. Buyers will wait till the summer, as Jan is a more expensive window.
This is it, really. The last five minutes was absolutely embarrassing. No one but Zaha was running and making an effort.
This is true. Fellaini has been surprisingly docile.

The job was done and Newcastle were well deserved winners.
But they didn't play brilliantly, they just executed a pretty simple gameplan which was never tested at all. That says more about United than anything.
United's sharp decline
They like to copy 6eren whenever possible. And cheers for making the gif.

I fucking lost it. Seriously, the crowd shots were the best part of this game.
Let's worry about beating West Ham first.
There's every chance they nick the points off us here. They're a shit team but they're also the type that nullifies us well.
Throwing Zaha on, who couldn't get a sniff earlier in the season, shows the level of desperation. Nothing in the final third, no creativity, no final ball no movement. Rubs. Pure rubbbish.
Ugh.
There's making fun of United and there is being a mug.

To ME
All 3 games are winnable (yes City included given how well we've done against them in recent times), yet its strange that because they are so close together you expect that at least one of them has to be a loss and 4 points would be a good haul.

Watch Allardyce comes and park the bus, he always does that against Liverpool. Hopefully we can catch them sleeping.

Well this sucks. Quiche give me your aljazeera pls k thx
We should've been starting to do that in our home games against Everton and Newcastle. But we've fallen further behind those ahead of us in the table. Now we're in a position where we've lost twice in a row, played poorly and are now hoping for results to go our way.
Not good enough.
Aye.
Newcastle pressed pretty efficiently, but there's no cheerful or neutral reason for the passing from the back to be as slow, as witless, as telegraphed, as risky, as it was. Evans needs a fucking clout. All those idiotic long balls up the line. Manufacturing difficult situations for other players.
And Cleverley and Jones are not a midfield pair. It's like bread between stale fucking bread.
