The problem is Newcastle buys just to buy - with no logical thought process behind it. The squad is a tactical disaster. I've watched them several times this year. I can honestly say they have the worst defensive unit I have watched in a long time. No tactical or positional awareness. No clue how to hold a line. Just flat out embarrassing.

I'm not saying the players they bought are bad by any stretch, but volume-buying players just because they are on the clearance rack is a terrible transfer policy.

In fairness we did have a ton of injuries and not a lot of depth behind them.

Absolutely, but there isn't any reason why they shouldn't be tactically disciplined. It's not like Pardew is attempting to revolutionize the game. It's just that he's tactically naive, and can't keep up with the modern game.
