It was the very best and very worst of Newcastle United on display today. Some lightening counter attacks and first time finishing by Isak to carve through the third best team in the land with absolute ease. Then the defensive blunders, frailty at set pieces and disorganisation that saw them hanging on for dear life at the end. Wednesday is a big test.

Newcastle is is absolutely unplayable or absolutely ****. There is is no in-between.
You couldn’t get a better half of football in the first half. You also couldn’t get a worse bit of football in the second half!!
Our whole season has been like that. Not to good for the ole health!!

There has been occasions where they have ripped through teams, scoring 3 or 4 goals in 20 breathless minutes or less. There's only really Liverpool and City at home that has been able to do that sort of thing with the regularity Newcastle have over the past couple of years. Would be amazing if they could pair that with some competent defending and game management consistently.
Although sides that consistently perform like that win league titles and the rest end up in a close fight for places 3 to 8

7-8 games these season we racked up 3-4 goals. Some against very good teams and defences. Forest for example one of the best defensive units in the league and we’ve knocked 7 past them this season. We also knocked 3 past Liverpool.There has been occasions where they have ripped through teams, scoring 3 or 4 goals in 20 breathless minutes or less.

There has been some awsome defensive displays. Our CB pairing this season are 32 and 34 years old and they have played nearly every game. They are also paired with two young fullbacks.
What you’re seeing is lack of competition and back up. Our hands have been tied in the past 3 windows. We should have good funds available in the summer without selling.
We are in a final, still in the FA cup and challenging for Champions league.
