Being found out, we’ve got one or two premier league standard, not standouts mind, players playing, and a couple out who are as well. The bulk of the squad isn’t cut out for the level they’re being asked to operate at.
Not their fault, or Rafa’s, you can only work with what you’ve got. Desperately need reinforcements in January to keep us up and if Ashley can’t see it now he’ll not be selling anything apart from cheap socks this Xmas.

I think when you have your best 11 on the pitch, you've just about got a Premier League team, but unfortunately your squad quality doesn't run very deep at all. So a few injuries, and the replacements not up to the task in hand, equals a struggle at this level.Not their fault, or Rafa’s, you can only work with what you’ve got.

You need to add depth of quality to your squad in Jan, or there may be some difficult times ahead.

A point last night is looking very good after tonight’s games.
Rooney’s third by the way? Oh. My.
Any and every goal scored against Moyes the Vampire Squid is a delight, but that was extra good and extra hilariousRooney’s third by the way? Oh. My.
I even want you guys to kill them, 5-0/0-5 Newcastle, fk David Moyes
A few are underperforming which is critical when their best is required against a lot of teams. I've heard that even if we get bought out, there is no promise of a golden goose. We urgently need a cash injection to buy a spine of players through the team, particularly a half decent goalscorer
Another loss and it feels painful. Theres not enough industry in the side to actually put teams under any sort of sustained pressure. I know that the quality isnt there but the application isnt there either. We have completely stepped off the gas in contrast with what we were doing earlier in the season. Rafa needs to decide who is no.1 to give some confidence to the back four, get Lascelles back in, get Atsu back in and drop Joselu. Shelvey and Merino in the centre. Rafa needs to get them fizzing again because at the moment there's a lot of negativity in the side and you can see that from the way in which they dont want to push forward, give too much space to opposition and even Rafa looks like he's half expecting another loss when he sits down at the beginning of the game!
