Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[lancs blue]

Grealish with another good performance first half, second half they tried to get him sent off and he was clearly distracted by it.

He allows himself to get too involved in the needle, he should stick to making them look daft as he was doing in the first half.

Saturday lunchtime ko away is always horrible.

I think it's a leveller and takes away a lot of home advantage. Especially with Isak out, I thought we could go there and win today if we'd got close to our normal levels.

 

[Beanhead]

A draw was about right. Given the table a good point. Now played two tough away games (Geordies don’t lose much at home and Chelsea are starting to click so we played them there at the best time). And Arsenal at home. Dippers have only played dross and mid table utd. It will be us and Arse again I feel.

Pep is PISSED

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not the end of the world. We looked pretty solid without key players.

Decent performances feel like poor ones when we’re used to brilliance.

Absolutely none of this is on Pep though. All of our rivals have massively strengthened over the past two summers whilst we’ve stagnated.

Signing bang average players like Philips, Doku and Nunes, all players who would barely get minutes for any top 8 side, doesn’t help matters either.

Can he stop playing like a headless chicken then.

He played well today.

 

[B\connellblue]

He played fine don't know what you are going on about

Bollox did he . He played them onside for the penalty, constantly lost his man and was lucky enough with the other penalty shout they had.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’d have been more content with a draw if Isak had played.

We were in cruise control up until the penalty. Newcastle seldom threatened.

Went for a point for some reason, mission accomplished
