FT: AFC Bournemouth 2-0 Newcastle United
Unfortunately for Newcastle, when two small clubs battle it out sometimes one is clearly superior.
Liverpool a few seasons ago, arsenal last season, city without rodri, spurs without some key players vs wolves today and now newcastle with their injuries. Almost as if all of these teams struggle when multiple key players are out…who would’ve thought. But that isn’t applied to some specific teams when they have injuries because of narrative.
United and Ten Hag aren’t getting this treatment you speak of.
Newcastle without Bruno are fucking wank
And without Isak, Burn, Murphy, Targett, Botman, Anderson, Barnes. Yeah it’s somewhat fair enough to have not quite been up to it tonight, I don’t blame the squad who went out there, Bournemouth wanted it more and just looked fresher all night.
Half those players are shit anyway. Can’t imagine defending a performance by saying Dan fucking Burn or Matt Targett were out injured.
Newcastle will regress to their actual level this year until they invest in top players and/or a top manager. Just wait.
Newcastle fans finally seeing a bad patch with their new set up, can be scary and frustrating, but it’ll pass. Howe is excellent, and without injury crisis they’re are a team better than the sum of its parts. Just at the moment, too many parts missing.
