Newcastle (A) Post-Match Thread

Hopefully Arteta won’t target David like that snide cunnt Wenger did 3 years ago

And be ably assisted by the incompetent officials!

It was so fucking blatant, it had our seven year old grandson in tears.

Our mental strength this season had been almost non existent
They put the sitter away and it's then 50/50 on which way the game will go

I agree about mental strength. The only reason Liverpool have won the league is because of mental strength and that's why they won the Champs League last season. That said there is no way Newcastle would have won today even if they had scored the sitter.

They didn't manage a single shot on target and only had two attempts so I doubt it.

Had he scored at that point though, nobody knows how the game would have been affected, obviously he was "off target", but they were the better team at that point (however briefly), and because we had spent the entire first half being either very wasteful, or trying to walk the ball into the net, it could have very easily turned to shit, luckily it didn't.

Had Gayle put his chance away, it could have been a win for them.

would it have been worth 2?

Watch it back it was a foul he tripped Otamendi, it would have been interesting to see what VAR did

I’m hardly breaking insightful ground here but listen to Tyler on this. His commentary on us is amazing. Even Raz bending a worldy in hardly raises him

Yes of course it would....

They already had some momentum in the game at that point, and we weren't playing well. An equaliser would have boosted their confidence, and set ours back (ours has been fragile for much of this season - see Norwich away and a few others).

Anyway he missed big time, and we soon scored, to make it game over, but we'd been wasteful in the first half, and it's that sort of scenario that has left us chasing the scousers all season.

We should have won by the length of the street, but we didnt. A reoccuring issue with City this season.

lol

I meant hopefully he will shoot from outside the box more often.

Yes it has, our domination of the first half was ridiculous, but at half time our reward was to be in front because of an act of stupidity from the other team, not because we were great.

I was annoyed that having been so dominant, but we only had a penalty to show for it, its been a common theme all season, that we haven't turned dominance into winning positions, see last Thursday, where we dominated for much of the game, especially in the first half and yet lost.
