@MsiDouglas No progress at all today. Players were out of position all over the pitch. Forest have played twice since we faced Brighton and still looked stronger than us by the end.

😫 Frustrating result that sums up the season. Some really good stuff & signs of progress but momentum of last week ebbs away thanks to a defensive mistake. Plus ca change. Will we will actually see Anthony Gordon playing for #nufc again... 😬

@PKMNO9 Has a very poor touch for a technically gifted player. Will reserve judgement until next season. Not sure Howe knows how to use him.

Is it Eddie Howe's fault Woltemarde can't play a 5 yard pass into Bruno?

@NUFCTalkPod So still an agreement.

@sean597_sean No. The LB still scores, Murphy lets him run off him, others can fix his mess and don't. But it isn't a problem if he tracks his runner.

Murphy stood and watched Truffet, run off him then tap in 3 yards out. 2 weeks in a row Murphy directly involved, absolutely dreadful. #NUFC

@NUFCTalkPod So we are in agreement that it’s not just Murphy fault. Shit defending all round and shit management/ coaching to have your midfield in one line like that. No depth for the run the the LB made. Have a good one!

@sean597_sean I don't need 50 England caps to comment. The LB, runs off a RW who will have been tasked with tracking him. The MF are also poor, but, one has just come back from 3 months out, 2 played 90 minutes. Murphy had played 20 odd minutes at this point.

@ADMusgrove Midfield jogging back, Tonali runs past him and should be stronger on the line. All round shit defending.

Bruno doesn’t exactly cover himself in glory here either, btw.

@ToonPolls Not just Murphy. Anyone of 4 players could of picked him up

Just watch Jacob Murphy on this, and also watch his man. Spoiler, he is the goalscorer. Absolutely diabolical. #NUFC

@NUFCTalkPod It’s not just his fault at all. The fact you think it tells me you’ve never played football at a good level. Anyone of four players could of picked him up. But you don’t want to question Bruno, Miley, Tonali. Who were all ball watching.

@sean597_sean Its his man. He runs off Murphy. Its literally his fault.

@NUFCTalkPod Down the side to support the ful back I would agree.. we pass players on to retain shape. He runs on the angle into the box past Bruno and Miley. There is a great still doing the rounds on here which shows it.

@NUFCTalkPod Did miss the 3 midfielders that he ran past also, and the 3 same players were miles off him in the box. Murphy is awful but not just him to blame for not tracking/marking

@MagpieChannel_ Same old same old. Weak mentality and until Bruno came on, nobody wanted to take responsibilty. New manager needed and a huge summer ahead.

Full time thoughts? #nufc

@NUFC 3 weeks off and that’s the performance we put out. Once again reactive predicable subs. Can Eddie not be proactive?

Mateta scores. [2-1] 90'

@NUFCBlogcouk Pedro or Rob Lee

🍻 PUB DEBATE ⚫️⚪️ You can have any former Newcastle player (other than Alan Shearer!) back in this Newcastle United team in their prime. Who are you picking and why? 🤔 #NUFC

@TaylorandPayne He needs to go. You could see that result happening within 5 mins of the second half starting.

@LukeEdwardsTele Cowardly second half performance with zero ideas how to break Sunderland down. Howe needs to go. These performance particularly second half are becoming far to regular.

Another woeful second half performance from Newcastle United and another derby defeat. The fallout from this will not be pretty or pleasant. Big questions will be asked and it’s a long wait for another game to put it right. Sunderland did a number on them. You do not brush that off #nufc

@CraigHope_DM No thought at all into those subs. Square pegs round holes.

Newcastle in desperate need of change. Howe responds by bringing on Murphy, Livramento & Willock for Elanga, Trippier & Woltemade.

@NUFC Cowardly second half performance

Full-time.

@LukeEdwardsTele You’re commenting on things you don’t really have insight into. It comes across as Trump derangement syndrome and desperate attempt to distracts from the awful job Labour are doing.

Anyone else go to bed and just wonder what absolutely mental, awful stuff Donald Trump and the cult that is keeping him in power in the USA are going to plunge the world into by the time you wake up in the morning. And then blame all their supposed allies for.

@TifeRMFC Brazil

@Toon_TaIk I use to think that. Not so much now. He looks lost on the touch line and void of ideas.

Newcastle are abysmal and have been for large portions of this season. But sacking Eddie Howe would be a big, BIG mistake. #NUFC

@SkySports_Keith Poor excuse. If that is the case, find a different way to play. We can’t, and it’s the same formation, with virtually the same changes week in week out week out. We have to many athletic type of player and not enough technical ability to keep the ball.

🚨 That felt like a statement defeat for Newcastle tonight. A game they HAD to win, given the schedule and standard of opponents coming up. 🥴 Let’s be honest, the team are shattered due to the amount of games, it’s unprecedented. ✍🏼 But what appears to be mistakes in last summer’s transfer window has made things so much harder — they needed it to work, and it hasn’t. 😐 A really difficult day for #NUFC enjoy the rest of your weekend”
