Newcastle 2-1 Fulham Saturday 25/10

Traore has done well. I like Iwobi but  his lack of pace is an issue for us going forward

And suspect crossing

[SerbianLad]

Terrible from Iwobi there on the counter

[Super Mick]

ESR needs to do better there

Yep, needs to be forcing a proper save.  Nowhere near the corner

He only seems to be able to score headers from a yard out.

[Nittany_Joe]

Lack of finishers is going to finish Fulham (and Marco Silva if they get relegated).

Really need Jedi Robinson on the attacking position. Having Muniz would also help.

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

We've been ok but as in many other games this year lacking the x-factor in the box. Could easily be 2-0 or 0-2. Entertaining game.

[SerbianLad]

I thought we were the better team for most of that half. We gifted them their goal.

Poor opening 7-8 minutes aside, we've been on top.

Bassey and Sess struggling defensively, although Bassey did have some good clearances too. Tete started poorly but has since been great. Diop battling well with Woltemade.

King and Kevin to come on at some point, hopefully.

[Coastwalker]

Not too bad so far,just that stupid mistake by Bassey.
We're still in this.

[Mullers OG]

Difficult to see where the goals are going to come from. Nothing on the right, Iwobi too deep on the left. Move Sess onto the RW and bring Cuenca on at LB.

Why would we sub Traore who's been one of our best players?

Were in something 💩.

I like ESR, putting in a good shift. Pressing well, but feels relatively predictable. We need a spark, and he is probably the first to make way.

Kevin on for ESR, Iwobi to a central role. Can then replace Iwobi with King later on.

[MisfitKid]

At least the posts are on our side, mostly...

[ffc73]

Do my eyes deceive me or did Sander actually have a shot

I can testify that yes, Sander Berge had a shot, & it was on target.

A definite "I was there moment".

Hopefully, not a unique collector's item, unless of course Silva tells him not to do it again.

[Baszab]

Relegation fodder.........Please prove me wrong

Take off Tete - he's gonna get a red otherwise - and Smith Donkey is useless again

We miss Pereira

Well played Traore

Jiminez - couldn't he stay as a centre forward instead of playing the Kane role ?

[SerbianLad]

I see quite a lot of Newcastle fans are unimpressed by their performance so far despite the result.

Hopefully we can stop making silly mistakes in the second half and finish some of our chances.

Seems like Marcos entire game plan was,give it to adama and hope he can do something against burn. Outside of that we are stagant. Iwobi has been dreadful today,how we miss Robinson , huge loss for us this season.

Kevin for Iwobi for me , then King for ESR on 65.

My biggest grievance is how bloody slow we are to get at them. Amount of times were on the break and get a throw in or free quick and everyone just walks to it, leaving them to get back in shape. It's driving me nuts.

Burn has made a couple big runs forward leaving them completely exposed and we had a chance to quickly put it in play and have Adama full het engine away yo the right ...but instead we walked over with no energy or haste completely missing the chance to break. F all urgency from too many to get forward

The proof is in the first games when we werent decimated by injuries and our main striker was here. We were 8th despite insane VAR decisions against us. It's not like we're being horrendously battered every week

When we get those guys back well get back on track. Better run of games coming in November too.

[ron]

It would be good to see the £34m man drive  forward and take them on instead of his usual two-touch sideways passing game...

[SerbianLad]

Kevin on for ESR

[FFC In Oz]

Just for the record - these were Bournemouth's subs when they won 4-1 at St James Park last season:

Jebbison
Winterburn
