One swallow maketh not a not a pea brain summer.
Perhaps it's not a 'pea brain' situation but rather the cloggers he has around him that don't actually know how to move to space to receive the ball.*

*you will be hard pressed to argue against that after that display...also the previous displays this season...oh, and the CL final...oh, fuck it, the whole of this calendar year.
 
So many worrying signs.

Clueless, brainless football with either lobbed or awful crosses. Confusion in defensive positions.

What happened to Poch's "philosophy?" No pressing, no urgency, no real width- it's really hard to see what exactly we were trying to do today.

Poch got done by Steve Bruce, embarassing
How could we press when Newcastle never had the ball?
 
So we bring in a belated replacement for Dembele and a loan signing from a mid table Spanish club.
On the back of 18 months of fuck all.
The criminal neglection of our squad has been catching up since February.
A long hard season ahead.
If we let Eriksen or anyone else go
now Levy should hang his head in shame
I am a bit disappointed in poch too for not demanding we bought in more quality. Also for being too stubborn to start players running down the contract. Jan & Eriksen should be starting. Ultimately poch let levy get it his way & now we have problems & a long season ahead.

Anyone trying to find positives... there are none. What does a midfield two of sissoko and winks actually bring to a top team?

Why the fuck Eriksen didn’t start. Only one who looked like creating something when he was on.

Shocking defending for the goal as well. Genuinely starting to think Poch hasn’t got it in him nowadays.
 
Could have added 20 minutes on and we still wouldn’t have scored. One loss isn’t the end of the world but it’s concerning how poor we’ve looked this season.

It’s not this season though. We’ve been shit for months. We just happened to go on a wonderful cup run at the same time.

We look so, so, SO slow.
 
Woolwich next....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

We don’t need a Gareth Bale they said, he wouldn’t get in the team they said🤔

3 games in and we actually look worse than the second half of last season, defense is slow and looks vulnerable, midfield is equally un-creative as usual, and the front guys look like have just met each other......
Big performance needed against the scum next week!!
 
I do actually think that Poch may want out. Maybe he's bored, maybe he's lost his appetite. Could it be that he wants Real Madrid and is just waiting until ZZ is fired over there?

He said that he possibly would've left if we won the CL, and with a mindset like that, I just don't think his hearts in it to think like that.

He seems miserable most of the time compared to his first couple of seasons with us. Argumentative with the press which was never in his locker.

Is it spreading to the players?
