You’re not on your holidays yet lads!

toonsy

Another bad day at the office!
First off, Jonas Gutierrez and Tim Krul, you can go outside and play on the swings as this doesn’t apply to either of you. Toodlepip.

Right, as for the rest of you, sit down, shut up, pay attention.

During our last game it came to my attention that the bulk of you appeared to believe you were somewhere else other than Anfield and playing for Newcastle United. Now I can accept defeat, easily, but what I will always kick up about is a lack of effort and intent. That is what I witnessed today. If you lot were paid for effort you would owe money right now!

Danny Simpson, come to the front of the class. What was up with you today? Why do you always back off the attacker? Sometimes you need to take the bull by the horns young man.

Williamson, if you’re going to try and shepherd a ball out of play then at least make sure there is enough pace on the ball or you make it impossible for the attacker to get to. Yes the penalty was harsh and Suarez fell over like he’d been consuming vast amounts of Dalglish’s Buckfast, but really you shouldn’t have got yourself in that position in the first place.

Colo, Colo, Colo. What happened dude? You are usually Mr reliable, which is why it shocked me when you were pulled about like a ragdoll for the third goal. You have high standards so I’ll put this one down to a blip.

Jose. Hello Jose, here, woooo, over here, that’s it sunbeam. You do realise you are still playing for Newcastle United don’t you? You do? So why look so uninterested? I’ve noticed you daydreaming for weeks now and wonder what is on your mind? You’ve become a liability and I think you need a spell on the bench to reflect on things.

Joey, you know the other week when you bragged that you were the best in class? Do you realise that you aren’t now? Has it sunk in yet?

Kev, where were you big fella? I noticed you went missing for large periods of the game today. I hope you weren’t skiving round the back of the bikesheds?

Cheik, what have I told you about lashing out every five minutes. You’ll end up in detention more often if you don’t buck your ideas up.

Ah, The Great Dane. I can’t remember anything you did today. All you’ve done is sit at the back of the class and not say boo to a goose. You need to get involved a bit more Peter!

Shola, I know you aren’t the brightest tool in the shed, but when you try you can be a real handful and can almost be at the top of the class. I just wonder why we don’t see the application from you at all times?

Now I know it’s a crude interpretation of player ratings, but most of the lads deserve a bollocking after today. What makes it more frustrating is that we’ve all seen what they can achieve when they try. Yes we are safe barring a catastrophe of us losing all of our games and the bottom clubs basically winning all of theirs, but it doesn’t excuse complacency.

As for a grade for today? F – Must do a lot better!

  2. After a turbulent season, some of our players obviously lack the mental energy to see out the season. Knowing that you are playing against Liverpool with two dud strikers doesn’t help things either.. 😥

    Lets get 2 more points on board then they can all gtf on holiday, the fans too, we all need it after this season …

  16. Great article Toonsy, hits the nail on the head about our performances lately

    I noticed in the game last week that Simpson didn’t get close enough to Crainey and it was the same today. He always seems to back off, the only back four player who had a half decent game was colo. Shola does nothing for me and he never seems to challenge for anything. Maybe this is a time to bring Ranger into the starting line up for next weeks game

  17. Dave – I tend to go easier on Goalies as if they make an error it’s almost an instant goal if you know what I mean? The people in front of him should be doing their upmost to protect him basically.

  42. Toonsy. Are you posting fron the headteachers’ conference in Brighton? If so, you’re in trouble for not paying attention in class!
    Spencer @4. If you’ve a personal problem, have a word with Batty – I’m sure he’ll be able to do you a good deal on some incontinence pants!

      (Quote)

  46. I think the players were okay, the second part of the first half we were all over them but just didn’t have the cutting edge in the final third. Thats what it boils down do, we haven’t got the quality in attack to hurt teams. Not much will change in the next 3 games unfortunately. I just hope Benny is back in the last game so I’ve got something to watch.
