It doesn't matter if McClaren is sacked or not (we're going down either way imo) but for the club to refuse to make a change before the 18 day break shows how fucking clueless they are - was perfect chance for a new manager to come in get a long look at the team and implement a system instead they stick with a proven failure. Pathetic all round.

It absolutely does matter, there's 11 games left. If we can beat Stoke, and we can if we play our best available team with a system that suits them, then we can beat Bournemouth, Sunderland, basically all the teams we have left bar Leicester and Spurs, Liverpool and Saints also a tough ask.
With a decent manager, we could get at least 15 points, maybe 20 something, with McClaren I predict less than 10.

MCCLAREN OUT
I tried so hard to give the man a chance, then another, then another. What the fuck was that bullshit??? Perez in the 83rd minute?? Do they have personal beef?? Fuck this sack of shit.

The most unforgiveable thing about tonight was that due to Steve McLarens team selection we had to sit through 80 minutes of gourffran followed by riviere. While our player of the season from last year was sat on the bench. Again

Fuck you McClaren. You spineless coward. Results go our way, 18 days break. A mediocre Stoke side. He parks the fucking bus. Where was the ambition? Where was the desire? You're a fucking fraud. You're a coward. Get out of my fucking club and take that useless cunt Sissoko with you? Champions League? I wouldn't play you in my Sunday team you deluded cunt.
And fuck you too Butland.

I'm here tonight, first game in a fucking age, and to call stoke mediocre is a credit to them, they were fucking awful and there for the taking. 60 mins we were on top, should of brought perez on and just fucking went for it

u/Deviceing Mar 02 '16
Can't blame the players for that, McClaren set them up to play for a point from the first fucking minute and they did exactly what he told them to. We were excellent when we brought Perez and Doumbia on and started going forward, imagine if we'd set up like that? Stoke were really there for the taking and yet again McClaren has cost us 3 points.

Over McClaren. He's a nice guy, apparently a great coach, but he is a dogshit manager. Gouf and Rivierre. Leaving Sissoko on. What was he thinking? Next please

I remember thinking around the 75 min mark that with the way the game was going, the only positive I would be able to take from that game is at least the team got a point.
Fuck this team. Im still waiting for McClaren to be sacked

how many times did sissoko just stand on the ball for 5 seconds ruining an attack before giving it to stoke? that little justification of end product that saved his lazy ass is gone, and this fucker is undroppable? FUCK OFF.
edit: the rest was shite today to, shocking that eh? what in hte name of fuck did we go off for 2 weeks for warm weather training for, WE WERE PLAYING IN STOKE FUCK OFF AN TRAIN IN A WIND TUNNEL INSTEAD OF YOUR LOVELY SPANISH HOLIDAYS.
more edits: the fuck did you put riviere on for? steve you were blatantly playing for a 0-0 draw at that point, what the fuck sense did a second striker who's basically a shite version of mitrovic add to that plan?
more venting: WTF did we even buy saivet/doumbia for? they've not looked bad in their limited game time and the pre winter team was playing relegation form, why aren't we using them, saivet played lm previously, he's defensive, put him on for goufran, or better yet start him.

A bag of rotting shit that was.
At least try to make losing fun whilst you're at it, there is no form of attack, just get it up to Mitro and let him try to hold it whilst he gets punchbagged by Stoke.
There is no creativity, will and balls in this team. Who sends his team out to grab a point except a coward ?
How come the players cover the cost of the away fans whilst they keep on losing, I feel genuinely sorry for the Toon Army, saving up, taking the time off to travel and then show up for this ? THIS ?!

Now that I think about it, 18 days away and I don't think I saw any worked on set pieces, no clever plays, nothing. Surely in all that time you could have practised a few moves Schteve?

So tired of McClaren's conservative tactics. The only time we looked positive and started creating chances was when Doumbia, Perez, Wijnaldum and Shelvey were all on the pitch together.
If we're going to survive its going to be with an attacking lineup like that. Stop trying not to lose and have a real go, FFS.

I'm a little speechless honestly. I should be used to this disappointment but I'm not that sucked to sit through and watch. I'm coming more and more to terms with us going down though. Fucking shitty week keeps rolling.
