Oh dear, bad mistake by Rice and they score, hope that doesn't affect him too much.

Oh dear, this is not looking good, COYI

chicagohammer

Rice got caught out in possession and Newcastle were able to make it count

Whenever a team needs a win we always seem so accommodating. Sick of it, to be honest.

Pearces_Left_Foot

We have nt lost yet plenty of football to be played yet

buffybegood

Noble walking a tightrope, could easily have been booked there.

MIAHammer

Have we even had a shot on target yet?

Lukerz

Sooner this season is over the better.

buffybegood

Good tackle there by Rice after Zaba dived in much further upfield.

Lukerz

Midfield is Championship standard. Can't play PL games with a champo standard midfield.

MIAHammer

We need to bring on Lanzini.

baracks_a_hammer

One word. Abject

Huttonhammer

Same problem as always the players that should be on the pitch are not.
Kouyate , Obiang Lanzini much better than Rice , Noble , Fernandes Ayew
Would play Sakho and Hernandez up top as our midfield is awful.
Must leave out Noble as we will never change with him in the team .

jay_in_cpt

Not sure what I can add..
Our midfield has made them look decent ... We look disjointed ....
Not over yet tho.
Over 2 u Mr Bilic ;scarf ;scarf ;scarf

Just to put our situation in context, we could find ourselves 9 points behind West Brom before August is even finished

Pedestrian and disappointing. No shots at goal and too many sideways and back passes. Nothing in the top third of the pitch and Hernandez is isolated. Need Sakho, Lanzini and Obiang on the pitch.

Huttonhammer

Utterly shocking that we can spend decent money but end up playing like a complete shambles.
What is it with this club? Utterly awful.
Slav must change things at half time or I feel he may be finished as we have no fire , shape or pattern to our play.

Hutton

This game, that half, I have to agree with you.

tomkinsworldclass

Feel for Rice as there wasnt anything on for him so was put in a difficult situation. Fernandes and Ayew not really working. Bring on Lanzini and Sakho.

Wow, and to think you often consider Thorn and Hutton to be a tad gloomy. ;lol

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Rice, Ayew and Fernandes off

Sakho up top with Hernandez, Lanzini and Kouyate in midfield

Te club better show some fight because that was awful

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Bilic is going to be facing some serious questions soon. He has good players, but we can't do the basics right.

I am starting to believe his first season was a Payet-inspired fluke, and the second indicative of his actual managerial ability, rather than the other way around.

whupathman

Slav needs to look at himself with the start of the season, his formation does not work. Noble past his best. My first negative on slav since he started

Huttonhammer

I really do not want to be gloomy I want us to win every game.
The way we play just makes me sad!!

MIAHammer

NBC are no longer showing all the PL games free. Most weeks we are not going to be one of the games on the tv. Based on our performances so far this season, not sure I want to pay the subscription.

SuzanneClaret

Rice off Lanzini on.
