Newcastle v Manchester United : Official Match Thread : 2/4/13 4:30pm

Good job we’ve been told top four is nailed on otherwise I’d be worried.

We look utter gash without Casemiro.

Looks like the international break has done us a world of good.

The way we are playing is making me very worried

The thing that makes me hopeful is we’re missing our first choice midfield

But you’re not far off when you say this isn’t far off Liverpool apart from the finishing. We’ve been second best to everything and we should be 4 or 5 down if Newcastle weren’t so generous.

We've been dreadful for weeks..going backwards.

Those subs

They deserve it. We've been shite. We need to pray that #@&%! Martial stays fit because Weghorst was awful. Again.

probably best not to play rashford if he's not fit. ref might as well have done the commentary as well.

Haven’t scored a league goal since Leicester at home.

I was told I was being a doom lord the other day for suggesting we’ll be joining Liverpool in the Europa.

We’re in a proper crisis now

The most disappointing aspect has been our attitude. It’s stunk.

Lost every battle and had no response to anything. No excuse for that.

Well that was poor.

Didn’t really look in it all game.

League form is starting to look really worrying. Although the next 3 games are pretty soft, so you’d expect us to take at least 7 points from them.

For all the praise he's had, and rightly so, that was an awfully managed game by Ten Hag. The problems were clear, but he had no solutions, acted incredibly slowly and his changes were mystifying.

These subs have made us a complete mess.

A lot of players not good enough for the club. Likes of The Scottish Player, dalot and now I’m adding Sancho to the list.

He’s been here nearly two years and looks like he is going backswards. The Scottish Player and dalot we need to cash in on in the summer. We should still make champions league via top 4 or even europa, we have a kind set of home fixtures to turn the momentum round.

Get martial fit , hopefully garnacho and Eriksen come back soon too.

and going forward.

we hate possession.

to be fair, though, we've been robbed of our midfield and the ref (and var) has given them absolutely everything.

pitiful.

I’m not sure a crisis is the right word when you’ve won one trophy already, still in with a chance of 2 others, and you’re still in the top 4.

It’s a bad run of form, and of course it’s worrying, but crisis ffs.

Not sure what you say about that. Short of effort and desire throughout, utterly clueless whenever anyone had the ball. Very grim viewing.

That away record is horrific.

Am very worried about top 4 at this rate. We look absolutely shit all over the park.

Ok mate

since the cup win our form has been abysmal. never mind the 7-0, 0-0 at home to bottom of the table southampton is not good enough. and now this.

we've seen this before. going on a great run, hope and belief is high, then one bad result and the players just see their @%$£! and performance drops dramatically.

we need to get it together and sharpish, because if we don't our season will fall apart rapidly.
