Newcastle post match thread

Why are we missing so many chances at the moment?
is it burn out?, should have had 6 and it nearly cost us at the end.

We’ve scored 4 in each of our last 3. Didn’t look like burn out to me we absolutely dominated the game. In my view, only when we stop creating anything we can talk about burn out.

When say shite I mean in the context of the normal level of performance this season. I don't mean shite in the same way that United are shite.

Then don't say shite because it deflects from some very good points that you made.

Just a tough one to judge because I think Newcastle's mentality enabled us to dominate rather than us being overly brilliant. What's great though is the fact that teams are beaten before we've even kicked off.

We dominated because we are so good. We won the ball back brilliantly for most of the game and would have dominated them regardless of their overly negative tactics. Even when they had their final flurry, they actually created very little.

City did what they needed to in the middle of a heavy fixture load. The only significant issue yesterday was the finishing. Your criticism of some of the passing was accurate but I don't think it was of much consequence because we still created enough to have won by more.
 
I think neither the press or some fans give us enough credit for breaking buses down every week. Players arent robots or magicians to win comfortably every game especially in the face of such negative football but we still manage it and still play beautiful football creating openings with 10 men defending

Yep, that and going by phases of play it stays the same phase as no onside City player touches the ball and Newcastle don't have control of possession.

The relevant section of the laws of the game:

"A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:...

• gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has:
•rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar, match official or an opponent
•been deliberately saved by any opponent

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage.

A ‘save’ is when a player stops, or attempts to stop, a ball which is going into or very close to the goal with any part of the body except the hands/arms (unless the goalkeeper within the penalty area)."

So I believe Aguero was gaining an advantage.
 
The argument put forward regarding the Aguero goal was that if the defender makes no attempt to play the ball and it hits him accidently then Aguero would be offside but in this case the defender deliberately attempted to play the ball and actually touched it which changes the situation under a new interpretation of the rule. There is no reference to the defender having to be in control of the ball. Halsey claimed that all refs know this rule although it is not otherwise generally known.

"The new rule changes this situation as the attacking player in an offside position when the ball was kicked by a teammate who gets a rebounded or deflected ball after it was deliberately played by the opponent (except from a deliberate save), is no longer offside and is not considered to have gained an advantage.29 Apr 2016"
 
Any criticism of Newcastle is wrong. They very nearly took a point and we could have only blamed our selfs. They got their tactics right, they have an inferior squad, but a very good goalkeeper in the making.
