Newcastle (H) post match thread

Give Dinho a five year deal for Christmas - even at 40 he'll be more useful than Rodri.

Could not agree more, Rodri off Dinho on, then the game flowed. What a difference. One touch football instantly. Hope Pep noticed but I doubt it. Quick play is when we are at our best, it doesn't work with Rodri and Gundogan in the middle.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

They didn't show it on the screen, but the commentators said that Dias initiated a round of fist bumps when Ake blocked a cross for the corner, and they did show Stones celebrating that same block with Ake, which is fantastic to hear and see. That level of organising and team building is exactly what we missed last year at the back.

I saw Dias do that a few times. He#ll be captain by end of season.

Yeah Pep is deaf, dumb and blind. Not fit to manage an U9 team.

FFS Give your head a wobble.

I was trying to decide whether bringing dinho on made us play quicker or was it we were 2-0 up with less pressure or a bit of both
But the difference when rodri went off was very noticeable

Aguero was offside and sterling’s just wasn’t.

Totally agree, but I never heard the commentators mention “Contact” which is rolled out every time Kyle Walker touches somebody in the box or “he’s got every right to go down” because a defender had the audacity to be brave enough to make a challenge in the box and there’s a coming together, The Egyptian Tom Daley Penandez & Steptoe have this down to a ‘T’ and the press now call it an Art, it’s fookin cheating, our lads are pathetic at it, especially Raz, never a pen live or with the benefit of VAR, but it’s the VAR slow mo that’s encouraging all this and it’s got Riley & his pigmol cronies dirty little fingers all over it

 

[come-on-barney]

Sterling, great pull back for the goal. Lots of ready made excuses about why Kevin has been very poor this season, unfortunately Raz never gets the same break. Plus when when was the last time Bernardo ever really performed? The level of ‘abuse’ at times, and yes I use the word ‘abuse’ by some posters is shocking.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Well put two Bob Ian.

There you go ;-)

Any meaningful reason Cancelo can’t actually start in midfield ?
Quick, intelligent, good at the defensive and offensive side of the game and when he ends up in those midfield/wider midfield positions he seems very useful !

 

[Tevez City]

Glad to see Cancelo and Raheem playing on the right.

Gundogan is becoming our best midfielder so far this season.

Dias & Stones are forming promising partnership.

Yeah Pep is deaf, dumb and blind.

And he sure plays a mean pinball
