I thought we'd turned a corner judging by our first half performance but yet again we conceded 1 goal and fall apart. The worrying aspect for me was just how fit Newcastle looked in the last 20 mins compared to us.
I don't agree with taking off the best players in the game as i feel we lost our threat and in turn we had no outlets.

We changed a formation that was working incredibly well and that seemed to help Newcastle. a lot of peole are blaming pickford and I agree he was erratic to day the least and he obviously needs serious competition and fast but for me the blame has to lay at the managers feet.
He had no reason whatsoever to make the changes he did. There were 20 odd mins left and Newcastle were beaten. They couldn't cope with Bernard and his link up play with digne was stretching Newcastle and keeping them from from venturing too far forward. He then takes richarlisom off and Newcastle were free.

Yes pickford messed up and could've been red carded but he wasn't and he hadn't conceded.
Sorry but for me i am starting to think we have some really good players that could be wasted under the current regime. I'm not calling for his head but he is starting to worry me.

Pickford needs to take a good look at himself.

It's the way Prickford smiles when he does mess up that gets me.

To put it politely he appears to have difficulty with computing.

I wouldn't read too much into him smiling after a mistake, we all react differently when we mess things up and this is probably just the way he reacts. I highly doubt the smiling is out of happiness, the lad does have personal pride.
No getting away from the fact that he could do with taking out of the limelight but, unless MS is brave enough to give the other young lad a go, I can't see it happening. I don't think MK is good enough to step in and do a job for us, some of you may think different. The only bonus side to it is that Pickford is still young and will learn from these mistakes. If he's still making clangers next season then it will become more of a problem. As others have said in various posts, a bit of competition for his place may help the lad.

More baffling was the dropping of Schnids, these last couple of weeks we were on the shoots of recovery, so strange he never started, even more so not bringing him on, when we were 2 nil up, he has had his critics, me included, but the guy has stood up to the plate this season, played in 11 games and on the losing side only twice, three if you include a penalty shoot out.

First of all I reckon all of you were praising him at the World Cup? Secondly the Toon fans broke him and they won that game. Please don't turn into body language experts as you have no idea. Yes he was erratic but I'm finding it very hard not to swear at you right now. Did you clap when he saved the peno? I'm guessing yes. Very fickle.

I'm no body language expert, and I'm not fickle but if the lad has messed up then take it on the chin and get on with it and grow up.

Good call that big nev. The bloke (having been the real Schneids to turn up the last two games, good partnership with Gueye) posts on twitter big thanks to the fans and then he is dropped. Are we seeing a big ego I am right (despite evidence to the contrary) everyone else is wrong going on from Silva I wonder.
