Home or away it doesn't matter mate, look at Newcastle at the etihad and WHL.

Football is 70% psychological ive always thought that, if we turn up with a rocket up our arses we can do these today.

My only worry is RM seems to never bollock them and is always "the performance was good" in his interviews. Like moyes or not he bollocked the players when they didn't turn up and it's what you need at times

In fairness, we don't know what he is saying behind closed doors.

I bet it ain't the platitudouness bollox he spouts in front of the cameras.

You claimed that after a defeat at home we would 'do one of the big boys'. Moyes never won a game at OT, Anfield, Emirates or Stamford Bridge. Seems like Moyes's 'bollockings' worked a right treat. Newcastle went to the Etihad in the Capital One Cup and won. Not the first time Man city or any of the 'big boys' will lose a cup game.

How do you know that Martinez doesn't 'bollock' them? Maybe Martinez thinks that the best way to prepare a team psychologically is not to bollock them in the media. Unless you have an insight into the inner workings at Finch Farm then it is just hot air to say Martinez doesn't bollock them. Or maybe he just has a quiet word with them and talks to them as adults.

Newcastle have won liverpool, spurs and winning Chelsea right now.

Psychological mate. If the lads want the win today they can get it. If the boos had any effect then that should have served a kick up the arse, same as it did to spurs against us

It's needed at times. The best managers of recent years all bollock the players (fergie, Mourinho and simeone) to name just three.

How did Martinez telling his plays they were phenomenal every week help wigan not go down mate? Serious question.

I'm all for praise when it's going well but when you've won 4 in something like 14 games it's time for a bollocking

There is quite a big difference in the calibre of player at Wigan in those days than he has here.

Do you honestly think that the players themselves don't already know they're not playing well ? Seriously mate ? These are not kids playing sunday league ffs.

Agree. For me Jags has worked his way back into good form. Did he need a bollocking to get back to playing well? Doubt it very much.

Do you think players like hazard, Oscar, Drogba under jose or the likes of Keane, Scholes, Rooney or giggs didn't know that at times under fergie?

We need a leader who the players will run through walls for. It's perfectly fine praising but the manager needs that aura of dominance and respect.
 
Good luck this afternoon Blues, a similar style performance as against Wolfsburg away would do. Similar result would be fantastic!

Will log in later across the pond, hopefully to good news!

How do you know that Ferguson, Mourinho and Simeone bollocked their players ? Just curious...

You kidding mate? Unless for the past 10 years you have been turning off the tele straight after the final whistle you will have seen all 3 of those bollock the team when they haven't performed.

Martinez hasn't that in him sadly, I like the guy but I think it's that element to his personality that will see him never making it as a top top manager.
 
2-0 Newcastle

Man city, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea

Our side is much better so ask why can't we do this?

Psychological. When the chips are down and all..
