Can't defend that lineup, sorry
The footy had
The bedsheets artists were getting called melodramatic and worse and they've been proven right. We are in a huge mess right now.
The club has 0 direction and nobody with a clue running the show.
It's the worst I've ever felt about us since the days of relegation battles when I was a youngster.
Completely disagree.

we deserved a draw mate
Try putting that in bold and it might work
This is all down to supporters like yourself supporting Benitez while we were sleepwalking into relegation.
You all should have joined us and demanded him out earlier. You all own a piece of this mess.
Got it badly wrong with that formation today, same crap as before that didn't work just a but more effort.
Why the emphasis on one shot on target?
We had 15 attempts, 9 corners.
A good number of chances - had one cleared off the line, Richarlison's header, Mina's header, the cross Calvert-Lewin was on his heels for....
You can have 3 pens in a game, put them all wide - 0 shots on target but 3 bloody good chances aren't they?
Most blues I'm sure would share the view that we were unlucky to lose today.
Definitely mate.
That's all well and good mate but my post was in the Duncan Ferguson caretaker manager thread and so, relevant to this thread - which is, there's some comments way OTT in terms of Duncan Ferguson and his one match.
And to those crying how he got it 'badly wrong' and 'complete disaster', 'cant defend that lineup' etc - maybe offer an opinion on what you'd have done differently.
The emphasis is because we didn't test their goalkeeper. Thats a pretty basic metric of whether a team looks likely to score.
The set up was identical to Benitez. Long ball 442. Townsend accommodated to the detriment of the side. No quality at full back to give service to our forwards. Outnumbered in the middle of the park by a side with the extra man.
Yeah maybe we had slightly more intensity. But what was the difference? It was more of the same to me in a game that was there for the taking.
I'm not that bothered about the teamsheet but what I would have liked to have seen done differently is Allan doucoure and gomes in a 3 and the 2 new fulls backs on the pitch instead of Holgate and Kenny. Also Gordon should have started.
Had the atributes to be a top player, but not the professionalism to make it so. The undoubted passion he has is not enough to mask his limited football knowledge. This ragtag bunch of players we currently have need a more football savvy guiding hand to get them playing as a team, and quickly. Leaving Ferguson in charge for a run of games could be catastrophic. We're staring into the abyss and I don't see the 'generals' within the club to stop the rot.
He gets them motivated but there was nothing that seemed like a plan when we were on the ball beyond hoofing and crossing to Dom.
Same thing as what I saw from him in his last spell in charge.
