Newcastle (a) post match thread

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Cue Liverpool to drop points tomorrow then tonight’s result will really hurt.

Exactly what I thought when the ref blew the final whistle.

Put your life savings on it. A draw too making it a bigger kick in the balls.

Personally I'll be partying all night long if they drop any points whatsoever. If they lose we still stand at four points. If they drew it's five. Both doable, and we're still alive. But seven points? I seriously doubt they'll drop that amount of points, when I look at who they have left to play. But in any case I think they'll win tomorrow night.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

How does taking our best player off work? Protecting him for what? Arsenal game means fuck all after tonight.

Think Pep wanted to make sure we kept 11 players on the field.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

If we play like that of course not. But I think the Champions League is wide open this season, and we are as good a chance as any.

The team is too open, we can't win the CL until we become more pragmatic in defence which Pep won't compromise.
I stand by my statement that even if Pep stays 5 years I don't think we will win it.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

So is Scudamore and the officials the reason for our defeat tonight ??
Seriously some fans need to give their heads a wobble.

Exactly, utter shit tonight and bar few players lacked serious fight. Only ourselves to blame. Inexcusable stuff tonight.

 

[super_city_si]

Not impossible & true.

But if they do fuck that one up, the resulting arse opening will mean they will be likely to repeat it, so it will be game back on.

Oh yes. If they drop one they’ll drop a few but we need to be on it which doesn’t seem the case

 

[oakiecokie]

Well we looked like fucking Macclesfield !!

 

[Beanhead]

Bad night in general. Wimps in Parliament and wimps on the field. Getting pissed now...

 

[AlgarveBlu]

walker and Danilo are incredibly thick players with no footballing brain between them. Pissed off to have given such a tepid slow sloppy display after feeling so proud at the Herculean effort they put in against the dippers - fuck it though we go again and hunt down the remaining trophies available

 

[Pell]

We looked lethargic, jaded, slow, and short of ideas. I wonder if this coasting after going in front, and taking our foot off the gas is a deliberate tactic, rather than complacency, in order to save energy. I think this fighting on 4 fronts, and playing a strong team every game is grinding us down. It was a tired performance, in both body and mind. We're trying to win everything, which is great of course, but it will probably cost us retaining the title.

 

[grasybaby]

Bad as we were tonight to suggest that Newcastle were the better team and deserved the win is quite ridiculous. They had zero ambition and scored from their only two attempts ( one of which was a penalty which would never have been given in our favour ). They are a shit side and shame on us for our complacent attitude in a game we should have killed off in the first half.

 

[St.Pauli support]

The way we were giving away the game is quite telling, even a bit frightening.

Walker and Danilo were nearly panicking as soon as they got the ball.
So many mistakes today, the team really fucked it up big time.
Sergio messing up any dangerous counter in the 1st half (despite his goal).

Any team is forcing us to build up via Kyle, as he is terrible in build up.
It's becoming a well known problem.

Instead of building up pressure, we collapsed, sadly.
This one - like Palace and Leicester - will remain deep in the player's minds, as a negative.

Pep has lost it today too, I must say.
Danilo should have gone out early, Ota in and Laporte on LB
to defend the lead in any possible way.

We have been playing into Benitez' cards - although in front early!
We have to be able to do a Chelsea and bring home a 1-0 the dirty way if we feel it doesn't work up front.
Instead we are losing vs such a poor side, incredible.
The body language from most players was alarming.
No fight, no ideas, no confidence at all.

 

[Damanino]

We got Pep to to put us on the map of CL. With Mancini and Pelle we had no chance to win CL. But not even getting a semifinal in CL with Pep 3 years would be a huge failure imo. For City and for Pep personally given his CL track record. With Barca and Bayern in 6 seasons he made the CL semis 5 or even all 6 times if I am correct.

In 3 years at City he failed vs Monaco last 16 then last 8 vs Pool last year. This season we should go trough vs Schalke but last 8 we gonna get some real big team again. That will be the ultimate test for Pep. Juve, Barca, PSG, Real, Pool/Bayern ...

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Your statement is even more ridiculous.

You really think that we can't beat Real or even Barcelona this year, are you mad?

Not in a final no sorry.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

City fucked up when we let van dyke go to scouters. He is a leader, stones is average at best, laporte may get there but not quite yet. I think scouse would have kept a clean sheet against these, that’s the difference

We didn't let Van Dijk go anywhere, He always wanted Liverpool.

 

[Mike N]

Use to be “best strikers”

I don't know what this means.

 

[Jesus2018]

So is Scudamore and the officials the reason for our defeat tonight ??
Seriously some fans need to give their heads a wobble.

I don't know if it has an effect on the refs or not but that's a goal and it's 2 0. Is that scudamore on the refs mind? Is it saying if you are biased that's fine? Dunno but that's 2 0 end of.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Oh and Keown and his “Financial doping” shit. WTF!!

i instantly thought fuck off you goggly eyed, big eared troll faced twat. Been sucking Wengers cock for far too long.
What a massive ****!

 

[inchy14]

I think he’s saying Mancini is.

There’s a few of his old fan boys on here tonight.
Now without wanting to start all that shite again he did what was necessary atvthe right time, anyone who can’t see Pep is a level up is deluded.

 

[LucahArchie10]

This was coming after 5 minutes tonight. Far to many loose balls & shit simple passes going astray.

Kev & Dave awfull, Walker oh dear dear what has happened to him??

Feel for Laporte tonight & Ederson who picks the ball out twice.
Just like Liecester, Palace, Hudersfield games weak as piss on the counter.

The worry for me is Pep doesn't look happy, something is a miss.

FFP or missing out on players either way the League is miles away we had a big chance to put the pressure on & now it's 2 cups or nothing.

 

[oakiecokie]

Some of you need to get to bed it’s school in a few hours. I’m ashamed at some of you so called blues. We’re in a cup final,in the fa cup,in the group stages of the champions league,and 2nd in the premier league. Ffs grow a pair we lost get over it

Another happy clapper.We were shit and as fans we have the right to criticise as we do to give out the plaudits.

 

[mcs]

This.....it looked like we weren't interested at all or wanted to win the game.

The lack of Pep going apeshit on the touchline pretty much summed it up. (To me)

It certainly had a very strange feeling to it all night.... if one believed in conspiracy theories around football and betting, you could come up with a decent one for tonight I reckon!
