xin tong *sigh*
Hai, why xin tong? Xin tong for my dearest Newcastle United larz. 2 back to back thrashings (5-1 and then 3-1) at St. James' Park. Both of which are the few matches I got to watch. The players worked hard for the games, there were nice attacking moves, but there was a lack of luck in front of goal and many chances were never converted into goals.
Like a comment I read, quoted from 1 of the Newcastle players, "By stats, we had 20 shots on target. But on papers, Newcastle lost 5-1." Of course, the defenders have a responsibility in the results as well. The backline which is changed very often aren't settled down and lotsa loop holes appear during the matches for opponents to take advantage of, sad case. Another factor contributing to the defeats is the drop in form of both the keepers, Given and Harper. Some of the goals were the result of mistakes committed by both of them.
In the Man Utd game yesterday, the visitors dominated for abt 20mins but aft tt, Newcastle woke up and played rather fine for a long spell but both strikers Shearer and Kluivert missed from a few good chances. Kluivert's performance yesterday was terrible and while Bowyer performed well, he got substituted in the 2nd half which I tot was a terrible decision on Souness's part. I don't totally agree wif Souness's team selection and thus, the manager also has a part to play in the defeats.
So as you can see, Newcastle's now in a terrible run of bad form wif most of the players not performing to standard, lack of quality in the defence, lack of confidence and morale in the youngsters maybe except Bellamy who's been in fine form recently. His fine form wasn't put to good use cos he's played in the left midfield position(nt the best for him).
Only football fans will understand my feelings larz. Really felt like crying when I watched my team play Man Utd yesterday lorz. The players put in the effort but they're doing all the wrong things! Xin tong...xin tong...
