      And without Isak, Burn, Murphy, Targett, Botman, Anderson, Barnes. Yeah it’s somewhat fair enough to have not quite been up to it tonight, I don’t blame the squad who went out there, Bournemouth wanted it more and just looked fresher all night.

        Half those players are shit anyway. Can’t imagine defending a performance by saying Dan fucking Burn or Matt Targett were out injured.

        Newcastle will regress to their actual level this year until they invest in top players and/or a top manager. Just wait.

          Lol Dan Burn has played every game of the season before his injury, and has held out both Tino and Hall. He is so important to they way Newcastle play, letting Tripps push in to a RM position. I just now realized you’re probably a troll by the last part of your comment, but who cares haha

    No one else pick up on the Blatant handball from the 1-2 at the end of the first half with Solanke? Megs the defender and it bounces right off his hand

    Liverpool a few seasons ago, arsenal last season, city without rodri, spurs without some key players vs wolves today and now newcastle with their injuries. Almost as if all of these teams struggle when multiple key players are out…who would’ve thought. But that isn’t applied to some specific teams when they have injuries because of narrative.

      Fans don’t give other clubs the benefit of this, it’s how it is and always will be. No one cared about Liverpool’s injuries in their two bad years under Klopp, and I wouldn’t expect them to. Small club mentality to get pissy about how other fans talk about your club. Who fucking cares.

    Newcastle fans finally seeing a bad patch with their new set up, can be scary and frustrating, but it’ll pass. Howe is excellent, and without injury crisis they’re are a team better than the sum of its parts. Just at the moment, too many parts missing.

      Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s totally a learning process for the entire management and staff, as no one really has any experience managing a domestic and european campaign. But it just goes to show why this sport (and this league, with their horrible referees) is the best league in the world, because anyone can win. And Bournemouth deserved everything today.

    Unfortunately for Newcastle, when two small clubs battle it out sometimes one is clearly superior.
