Newcastle (a) post-match thread

[sky_blue]

We lost the title when PEP said we had no money for a CH and then threw a shed load at a defender who is not as good as the one who we let go The last few windows have been disappointing to say the least

Danilo wanted out. There's a reason it was a swap ffs. Pep didn't throw him out of the club.

Expectations have changed. We should be challenging for and winning trophies every season.

How come you only post if we don't win?
Genuine question by the way .

I’d like to see a bit more of the free kick Ferdy gave away. From what I saw he appeared to pull back from the challenge spread his arms to say I’m not touching him with the Newcastle player throwing himself to the ground.

He fouled him with body. it was clear foul and he was lucky to not get booked for it.

Teams run straight past Rodri when they break anyway. Even look at the build up to the 2nd goal(forgetting the gobshite a left back) the Newcastle player just breezes away from Rodri.

If Rodri had not turned his back from Shelby's shot and faced up to it like the Newcastle players did with us , we would have won today, fine margins and big balls make the difference between 1 or 3 points

Thought it was gone weeks ago but that performance just put the cherry on the cake.
Feeling like I did when we was shit.
And I know we are not shit.

How about Bob having-got-a-fuckin-prayer?

No way a booking, possibly not even a foul, the Newcastle player threw himself at Ferdy.

Nor do Txiki or Khaldoon

If Mendy isn't good enough it's not his fault it's the fault of those who identified and sanctioned the purchase of a flavour of the month defender for 50 million quid based largely on playing well in just two games against us

The short clip on the Netflix documentary where they're laughing about the 70m Southampton wanted for VVD hasn't aged well.

I actually think Fernandinho is the best thing about the back four that played today..........

Agree, because Stones was shite, Walker average and Mendy disgraceful.

Meh, whatever. I think it was clear foul and probably a booking. Most of other refs would book Fern there.

On a plus side, we are only 11 points from safety.
