Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

City should have taken chances. I’m not belly-aching about the ref. The Foden pen was never going to be given(rightly or wrongly) and as for the offside. My view is always regardless who is playing, if it’s that tight then it’s a goal
I don't understand why you say 'The Foden pen was never going to be given'.
I've just seen the replay and the still photos. It's a clear and obvious foul and VAR should have alerted the referee. IMO it is also a red card offence.

As could Haaland & Foden & Barnes…that’s the game, and why you hope you have a good keeper!
Yep - my post was replying to somebody who'd said similar, but only mentioning Haaland & Foden.

I was just adding some balance - I'm sure that had we kept a clean sheet, despite all the Newcastle chances in that first half, there would have been plenty on here using it to reinforce their opinion of how brilliant the defence is this season, when it really isn't.

The score doesn't always tell the whole story.
 
If the SOAT actually measured where Dias was standing rather than floating in mid air. This system needs scrapping as this is totally unacceptable

The fact that the PL is prepared to use children’s colouring ins to make enormous decisions and expects grown ups to accept those decisions, tells you everything you need to know.

And these are the same cunts who are calling us cheats.
 
We were unlucky with the decisions but they were marginal. We shouldn't have needed decisions from the referee. We were weak in front of goal.
The non penalty decision on Phil is not marginal.
Watch the replay and still photos.
It is a clear and obvious foul.
IMO it is also a red card.

I can only tell you what I text my mate at the time which was
“No pen. The shot had been had but if that was in midfield it would be a foul”
So take from that what you want
 
Try not to panic-defend for straight 10-15 seconds and you won't give them chance for dodgy decisions.
Mediocre with the ball, utterly inefficient with the ball, and I am getting really sick of Gvardiol, that dude is regressing 100 miles per hour.
He looks 6ft 5 playing for Croatia and 5ft 6 playing for us
 
Good game for the neutrals, we honestly played very good in the first half and tbh, can only blame themselves for not taking the massive chances we had, in this league against a team like newcastle, you don't take your chances, you're going to pay.

Well sometimes a ref will give a 'maybe' foul outside the penalty area that he wouldn't give inside.
But that tackle was full on 100% a foul.
If the ref misses it then VAR has to intervene.
 
Can someone explain how "playing well" includes allowing them loads of chances and missing the chances we created for ourselves. Or is simply creating chances good enough? We've been doing that all season FFS.
 
The refereeing decisions were hard to take today and something stinks about the offside calls being given onside.
However I was commenting on the team performance and we were outfought all game all over the pitch due to a bafflingly and it's a real weakness that needs addressing.
Outfought ??? Yet, according to Natalie Pike and Sky Sports, we had 68% possession !

It’s delusional. Just seen the highlights City have put up. They had chance after chance. We should have scored more but they could have easily scored even more. We just shit the bed away to decent teams and we have no come-back quality. At no point this season have we come from behind.
