 Welcome to toffee TV. It is the instant match reaction Newcastle United one ever to nil a Toothless Gutless performance probably the worst performance of the season so far Just again failing to have a shot on target is Embarrassing as far as I'm concerned two games in a row where you fail to have a shot on target is I Just find that embarrassing absolutely embarrassing and the The front three and the attacking it's not just a front three, but the attacking nature of this team is absolutely awful or for one of the worst in the Premier League and It's something that has been skated over in the in in the first few weeks of the seat of couple of months of the Season due to the fact that games were quite tight and we were all we generally got a goal here or there But in the last couple of games certainly the last three games it's become so so obvious that it's it's just it's just we're not good to watch and We don't make chances and if I got ever the opposite the opposition scored against us winning we're in trouble And tonight it come from many areas of the pitch I mean I thought I thought the front three were just abysmal, but I thought the full backs were abysmal as well And but I just thought in general before I won't want to like pick on anyone to say today But I just thought in general we were sending the first half. We were so weak We were so we know like you know Newcastle's gonna be intimidating, you know, it's gonna be they're gonna be they're gonna Be a vociferous, but So what do you know what I mean? So so what so what they're a little bit loud? I just we just so so weak in terms of Like, you know the goal itself on how nanny. What what are you doing? He'd been caught in position a Couple of times already bike bike just like walking around the pitch and then for the goal gets just is walking around get a little hand on him and then just falls over it like You're not gonna. You're not gonna get those files in the Premier League anymore. You're really not It's just it's embarrassing to watch our plays seem to go down under every little Touching push. It's just I find that massively embarrassing Considering that this season was supposed to be a team that is supposed to be like has moved on and it's got these you know to Centerbacks who are you know roughing some and the odd don't you don't think they were that can't really call Too many issues on Tarkowski and Cody, but when you watch them play and then you watch some of the rest of the team It's embarrassing the way people fall on the floor Gordon. I've never seen I'll be honest I've never seen a more overrated playing in my life than Anthony Gordon. I really haven't a Genuinely never seen a more overrated player. However and did not take the money for him. Whatever the money was offered I'll never know. He is the most overrated footballer. I've ever seen in my life genuinely genuinely the most overrated footballer Gray on the other side is it is is Absolutely bang average. He falls over at any touch And then Dominic. I'm learning up front is miles off miles off, but then the alternative is Mopai use who's Yeah, again, Leslie said the better, but The the worst thing is we started. Okay. It was a it was a nip and tuck game. They were they were they were They were you know Trying to throw everything's first 20 minutes and we got through that and then it settled down a little bit and then it was just a case of again, we were in great going forward, but It was it was a nothing game and then just little things started to come into the game Just not winning 50 50s falling over on every occasion He was one where we had actually the ball in the in the final third and on our threw himself on the floor And was like holding his head and they pulled the game back. It was like we were in a decent position There's too much of that goes on There's too much of that goes on in this team of people for You it's weakness You show on weakness when you do stuff like that and allows the team to get on top on the opposition to get on top and the fans again on top of you And that's just from a that's just from a An attitude point which I've just noticed creep into the side But from a technical point of view, I mean we can't keep the ball. We're always giving the ball away We're always everything's too short or too hard And that's what you get punished. We've been punished in the last two games and to be fair to new castle I don't even think new castle got out of second gear tonight. I really don't They weren't great themselves. I don't think they had to get out of second gear. We were we absolutely Abysmal and I know the second half. We had a lot more of the ball Um, and we just nice little you know a nice little bit of passing here and there doesn't end with anything It ends up with Gray getting older the ball and either overheating the cross Or now and again putting a decent crossing and then we've reserved our best crosses for when dom and the cavalry who had gone off the pitch The subs Mopai Dwight Dwight MacNeil and Mopai I mean Dwight MacNeil is a waste of time. He's a waste of time He's a defensive player as far as I'm concerned. He's a waste of time. So you're bringing him onto the pitch Mopai you're swapping dom and the cavalry in for Mopai And then start banging the ball long against Dan Bane It's we are like they've got to get back to basics They've got to get back to basics and that's for the full backs Seamus Coleman You can you can let him off but Michel Enco We need a new left back. I've been saying it for a few weeks now. We need a new left back. He's he's not good enough He's not good enough Michel Enco. He doesn't get up the pitch He's passing terrible Do you know what I mean? It's it's I think what's got to start happening is Frank Lampard's got to start making changes as in Get James Garnet Garnet onto the pitch See what happens. Maybe try a few different things. I know we brought Dom on tonight back tonight, which is okay but we've got to start trying a few different things because um We've the way we've wilted in the last three games and the fact that we've stopped I mean not that not that we've stopped creating chances. We never really made that many chances We haven't made that many chances It it's not good enough. It really isn't and and this is you know, no shots No shots in two games is just is woeful. Absolutely woeful and you know, we've got to get probably We've probably got to get two three wins minimum before the break now To make it look like a half respectable season a half respectable first half of the season Because otherwise what'll happen is we'll just start we'll just start um Getting way some way some ways um so Listen, I do listen. I I do think I think we're better than we were last season But so is everybody else You know the the teams that have come up aren't mugs There's no outstanding team to go to go down at the moment um so It makes it makes it very very difficult, but if you're not creating chances If you're not at least, you know, if you were missing chances I'd be like well something'll drop, but um Yeah, to me it's just I know I know does that thing like don't panic. We're still early, but This is this is really difficult to watch. Tommy D says are we better than last season? No, I'm getting the feeling I'm impending doom again. I think we're better than last season. I just don't think that I think sorry. I think that everybody else is better than last season Everybody else is better. Okay forest yet You can say forest, but the difference is Forest will get a month of another preseason They'll get another preseason um You know when the whale cups on to sort of get it right I've said this all along. I've been quite consistent on this whatever no matter what anyone says If you're not putting the ball in the back of the net, you're not winning points And we can't even make chances and that to me is the biggest worry Okay, three defeats in a row three teams that are better than this fine two away one at home fine But to not create Barely a chance in those games It's very very worrying to me anyway That is very worrying to not be creating chances To to have two games where you do not hit the target you know, I think You know, I think um tonight you are one shot off target No shot on target no block shots So one shot a goal in the entire 90 minutes that is that's criminal That is really really criminal whether you like franklampard whether you don't like franklampard Doesn't matter that is criminal because there's there's waste teams out there waste teams Who are scoring goals, you know south hampton have got three points tonight. Um You know, they've they've got three points tonight They've got a they've got a brother above us by a point, you know, there's There's there's there's teams out there who can score goals. We're not good. It's great going Well, the sound at the back. That's fine. That's fine but if you're not if you're not having shots on target then you're in trouble so That's something that has to be sorted that but Again, uh, as I said before to me, it's the attitude of some of the players going down dead easy Stay up stay on your feet Stay on your feet and show that you can't be pushed around that you can't be hate Anthony Gordon going down Just before half time And then jumping up because because the because the trippy is told him he's having a laugh You know and then making a big deal out of it. Oh lad get up save that energy for a you know for actually playing football That to me is one of the big issues is one of the big issues Players falling because that's all I saw first off. It's only the last 15 minutes Oh nana gray uh Gordon just going down going down too easy And and basically just saying to the new castle players you can push us that you can push us around Didn't see any of their plays going down didn't see any of their plays throwing themselves around It's just it's just a sign of weakness trying to trying to trying to Try to steal free kicks that you haven't ain't The only one thing I would say about the game is they should have been down to 10 men It was a definite yellow card for joe linton the manager took him off at half time. There's no clear sign. They should have been down to 10 men He took the player out. So that's that's a definite red card But that's still that's no excuse That's no excuse that for for the attitude of some of our players and and as it's the you know You know it's it there needs There needs to be You know it can't all happen wouldn't wouldn't have all happened in one window and it certainly won't happen in two windows or even three windows but We've got to get something um We've got to get something in in january otherwise it's otherwise it's going to be through uh coaching and Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm I'm not not I don't I'm not sure I believe frank lampard is good enough to attain what I'm seeing at the moment into a Fully attacking side without new pace in hell. They're just not good enough. The mighty great is not good enough And the golden is not good enough And at the moment Obviously don't want to count in there's no way near it and malpite is not good enough The full backs are not good enough. You know till patterson comes back Um, the only people who are really doing their jobs at the moment is the centre backs They're the only ones who are really doing their jobs um And again, they've both done fine tonight. They've both done their jobs. Not really if they can do about the goal um but Yeah, it just makes palace now. I'm obviously a massive a massive game um where we've got to get something out of it because if we get beat on sadly then the the the You know the knives will be out for frank lampard doesn't matter whether you agree with or don't agree with the knives will be out for them you know for defeating around the premier league is is um That's that's where people start obviously sharpening the knives So let's hope that doesn't happen because to be honest I can't be asked again going through it all again um But we've got to get better players in we've got to get better players into this team We've got to because again, we've only been beating my one goal You know, we've only been beaten by two goals once all season So it is the fine margins but Tonight is not good enough. It's just not good enough at all. And as I said, probably one of the worst Probably the worst performance of the season without new castle really having to do too much But I think as well the manager's got to start looking at the subs You know way one nil down and they're bringing two players on You know that's that's again that should be looked at You know looking at the comment here a lot of people's from off of an upgrade. Why isn't he getting a chance? Michael Encoe is He's not good enough I could talk here all day about how he's not good enough, but he's simply not good enough certainly not as an attacker um When you need when you need to get forward in late in a game You need if you need to bring if you're getting beat one nil and you need to change the game Well, they may be putting putting someone like Vin Agri on might make a difference I'd rather have put Rondon on the Malpite tonight. I must admit. Um Just just really disappointing. I could I could I could rant all night, but I'd be saying the same things but but like Can't I can't wait for the break and and honestly January can't come quick enough because we need we need better players And we've wasted money now from far as I'm concerned. We've wasted money on Dwight McNeill We've wasted money on nail mobile. They're just not good enough They're not good enough simple as that Dwight McNeill come on the pitch and didn't do a tap not good enough We need a new left back. He's not good enough Um Michael Encoe and that's before we need the centre forward and we need two new wingers because that's exactly what we need You know, that's exactly what we need. We've got 10 points um After 11 games That's that's crap people can dress her up. How do you want that crap? Really really crap so You know, and it's listen last season was absolutely terrible, but um And I get that and it not not everything's gonna go is gonna is change gonna change overnight I I 100% agree with that's not just gonna change overnight but What can you we've got we've got to do something so there you go Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Anyway, I'll be back shortly to do my player ratings Um and check out buzzers videos as well Yeah, there you go. Thanks for watching. See you later
