Newcastle (a) post match thread

[2infinity&beyond]

Nah... they were shit. They had 2 shots on target. One was hardly a shot at all and one a penalty that was nearly saved. They didn’t beat us.. we beat ourselves

They played to their strengths. We didnt play to ours. Teams are never going to beat us playing top quality football because we have too much quality but they know how to stifle us and take their chances like tonight. Good luck to them. We got what we deserved.

 

[billfromthehill]

I blame the fullbacks absolute shite tonight and all the rest wer fukin dog shit aswell

 

[BimboBob]

Saying they didn't play well is one thing, but moaning that they had no will, no passion is just daft. Of course they wanted to win, every pub team that rolls out on a Sunday morning wants to win. Even admitting that they played bad it's always a game of inches, and if Sane's header or Silva's follow-up shot had been a couple of inches better it'd have been 2-0 and game over.

Woooaaah there Roy Rogers...when I fell to the level of Sunday pub football I just wanted to get through the game without having a heart attack.

 

[Sid C]

Still plenty of games left yet. Pep will sort it.

Well said

 

[SVP]

Always bernardo over sterling in a game like that for me. Sterling is on the wane.

Yep all Sterlings fault again-nothing at all to do with the other 13 who were all fantastic tonight.

 

[blue by birth]

He did nothing wrong but does anyone feel that sometimes you'd prefer to see De Gea in goals.

That's a no from me

It was over last time it was 7 points never mind come tomorrow. Forget United have you seen Liverpool's run in compared to ours? We've got United as well which will be difficult.

The fixtures seem fairly similar on the whole, just think if we can put that pressure on them we will see what they have, the team that deserves it will win the league, I still think we are the better all round team!

Needs to shave his head and get that aggresive edge he had.

He is starting to look his age sadly

 

[willipp]

What the fuck has happened to Kyle Walker? He looks a shell of the player he was last year.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Listen pal emotions are running high and I'm being a royal prick, I'm jumping on names that don't post often and then appear when we get beat and tonight it's you.
It's nothing personal just me being a mardarse.

No worries it has been a tough night watching for us all we and need a performance at weekend. I do post when we win and on other items but circumstances make it difficult.
Anyway no problem and thanks for calling me Petal!! it was better then Nerd!! Cheers

You don't have to, I've seen all the games. I know Ederson has been good but not great.
Just because you make risky outbursts and play it cool from the back doesn't automatically make you the greatest keeper.

And to my point, once we actually lose possesion of the ball and the other team has maybe 1 or 2 attacks all 90 minutes, we concede. That is the problem.
Considering how few chances the other team gets during 90 minutes, we should count on him to save a few. What kind of keeper is he if Leicester has three chances all game and he lets them all in? You could might as well put Sané in the goal.

I’ll point out that Leicester scored 2. Because I’m pedantic.

And then I’m done, because you are clearly an imbecile and incapable of accepting that our goalie couldn’t have done any better other than perhaps on 1/7 of the goals you referenced.

 

[Metalartin]

Totally agree. As bad as our football was tonight they played it well and made it very tight for us. They deserve some credit.

Sure, they deserve credit for their discipline keeping it tight at 1-0, rather than being drawn out. It doesn't make for great viewing but it was smart. Although, I don't really see how anyone is saying they fully deserved the result itself, since they were pretty woeful going forward and didn't offer much with the ball. I know there are different expectations on both teams but the word "deserve" has nothing to do with expectations if you're calling it evenly.

If a game with two other teams, played out exactly the same as tonight, money, managers, player reputations not a talking point; people would say the home team was a bit lucky even if their opposition did create their own problems. They still got outplayed for the majority of the match and mustered, what was it? 2 shots?

And seriously, we have to be able to criticize our players when they are not playing well.

In England, we call people like you 'clueless ****s' so pop back off to your NHL forum and piss off.

 

[TCIB]

I’m particularly loving the “something wrong with Pep tonight” comments.
He was probably as pissed off as some of you are.

Just until the end of the season ?

No probs flower :)

 

[BimboBob]

Is it me or is our record shocking when ever we go behind in PL games, bar 2012 of course.
I can't recollect many games when we're losing that we go onto win.
3 times this season already.

We went 1-0 up.

As we did at Leicester.

As we did v Palace.

 

[Chi-town blues]

In my honesty Fucking opinion and I have to clue behind the scene about fitness etc but taking Sane out was the biggest fuck up from pep . He and sterling had their fbs pinned and the only out let we had on the wings . Fucked up our rhythm .

 

[mancity1]

The squad needs refreshing for sure and we know the areas that need improving if we are to ensure we don't lose games from having leads like we have done 3 times this season.

As someone said we might be going through a long period of time whereby a side doesn't win two titles on the spin.

Pretty lethargic today and it will be interesting to see how we cope over the next week.

Things have fallen into place for Liverpool this season and they have taken advantage of it.

 

[adaminho]

Think its over now. To many didn't turn up to day. to name a few the full backs and Aguero. I understand we will have bad games but it was the attitude by all, that they just didnt seem to want to get back into it and that it would be handed to them. Lets hope we do the cups so at least we have something to show for this season.

I will make sure i miss the intro to every match of the day next season, there is nothing worst than the scousers winning any form of cup.... mark my words we will not hear the end of this for the next decade.

 

[Beanhead]

Name a manager who wouldn’t sub KDB off at that moment. It’s a huge risk to leave him on there, and personally I’d prefer Bernardo to the potential of playing with 10 men. I’m sure De Bruyne was disappointing to come off, but he understands that any small foul and he would’ve seen red.

You are 100% correct. We were winning the game and Kev was deep in the process of taking himself off which also would have taken him out of the arsenal game. He was as close to a second yellow as you get. A child could of made that substitution as it was such a glaringly obvious one to make.

Arguing that he should have stayed on is like pretending the sun is black and we don’t need oxygen to breath. Totally unrealistic.
