      Carrick played it too safe there. The players just caught that vibe too. Should’ve started the second half way more aggressive

      It was bound to come. Sucks that it came at this juncture. Let’s see how the lads rebound after the break. We’ve got one thing to play for.

      I guess losing against 10 men wasn’t Amorim’s fault entirely? Needed to see the same outrage we saw then

      In desperate need of signings in the midfield and full back positions.

      All round poor performances from the team, I knew it would be a hard game but even still it felt they were so wasteful in front of goal

      For some reason, I am not crazy upset about this defeat. Let’s see how the team and Michael Carrick respond; they have been subpar most of the game and most of the game against Palace.

      Bruno fantastic as usual.

      We definitely have the easier of fixtures but long gaps between games is a big worry.

      I know some people will act like carrick is suddenly a shit manager because of one defeat

    13. New-Acanthaceae-5702 on

      The last time we beat them at St. James Park was during lockdown- almost 6 years ago.

      It was going to happen against some point, shame it had to be Newcastle and Eddie Howe dressed like he’s a Turkey at Christmas dinner. We’re still in a good place for champions league though and with the fixtures and points gap we have we should still make champions league.

      1 defeat in 12 isn’t bad if you look at the larger picture. As long as we bounce back next game.

      Newcastle were just diving to the floor and disrupted the game. Could tell they were frustrating our players with their theatrics.

      Ref should have got a grip on the game.

      First defeat, but many suspicious games in a row only saved by individual brilliances…

    19. Nice_Algae_8383 on

      Overnight we’re gonna go from Carrick in to Carrick out lmao. Poor performance today but it’s football. The defense were really off it and you gotta question not starting Heaven and subbing Malacia but apart from that, even with hindsight, not much Carrick did wrong. This match just tells us where our problems are. Cunha and Mbeumo were particularly poor today and if we’re playing just 1 game a week, then we need to do better than Bruno being the only one creating something

      Honestly think we might have the worst midifled in the league. Outworked every game without fail, even against ten men. All good having a midfield full of technical quality, but if it’s got no legs we can never properly control games. Story of the season

    23. MadaraTheUchiha on

      We haven’t won there since 2020, insane. Let’s see how he handles the loss, it had to come some day and it’s probably best that it came during the interim period. Just a shame the way it happened. Massive test in his job application

    24. scarletmonkey111 on

      We’re not ready for Europe. We never look good when we play back to back.

      I’m more confident in our team when it’s only one game a week.

      I still think we’ll get CL qualification, but the football might not be pretty 😅

    25. abdulalbakrichod on

      horrific subs from carrick imo, bringing on malacia who we’ve seen is barely even league 2 level last time he came on instead of heaven at RB who used to be a midfielder and we know that can work, but the worst thing was keeping mbuemo on for as long as he did despite the horror show he put on.

    26. Miyagisans on

      With such little time left in the game, wonder why carrick went for Malacia instead of Heaven there. Both players are left footed.

    28. Jenson2025 on

      The talk of Carrick getting the job permanently has been ridiculous. Performances have been average since the Arsenal game and Sesko has saved us a lot. People are looking at the results but I look at performances too and this has been coming. And do you know what? If we keep playing like this then we won’t even beat Villa with the dire form they are in and injuries they have.

    29. killerdrama on

      I fail to understand why can’t we keep the ball, especially if we have a man advantage. It’s not like they were pressing even. We just kept giving it away in silly manner.

    31. glazerbastards on

      Carrick needs to quickly realise this isn’t Boro where you can afford to play it safe. He should know this from when he played here. We had to go and win that and he was overly cautious to a fault. Poor.

    32. Outside-Inspection68 on

      we are missing licha so much

      a shame he’s injured this frequently

      without him we have no progressive passer from the back, al the other ones are so poor

      we desperately need decent backs

      cunha and mbeumo were very poor as well

      only Bruno was in it

    33. mohamed_e on

      Can we chill and not treat this loss as the end of the world?

      Yes, it’s embarrassing we lost like that but people are overreacting whenever we lose it’s so cringe.

    34. ThePirateCondor on

      This is on the players. Seen this lackluster performance with all of our previous “top managers”. This isn’t on Carrick. Players need to just show tf up and we win. Grimsby type effort

    35. QuickFig1024 on

      We look like we lost all the intensity we had under Amorim. Always playing like we are 5-0 up. 

    37. Red_Galaxy746 on

      Villa soundly beaten by Chelsea and we’re against 10 men for most of the game. It was all set up for them to go get the win and go 3 points clear of Villa. But, no, that’d be too simple.

      Malacia seemed like a guy comfortable in the knowledge he wasn’t coming on tonight and knows he’s not wanted. Probably thought: “Oh shit, I’m going to have to play”.

      No-one covered themselves in glory tonight, apart from Bruno. Definitely need an engine man in midfield who can play. Ugarte isn’t it and Mainoo isn’t that type of player.
