Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

I saw and heard all this overconfidence right before we lost to them in the cup final 3 or 4 months ago - people shouldn't have such short memories. Ive seen it in derbies before they beat us with solksjaer. Saw it before we lost 3-2 at home when we should have won the league at the etihad. Find it bizarre after watching how flimsy we were today that, after all that, people think it's still laughable they won't beat us again

My point isn't about united, it's about how flimsy we looked without rodri, and how in any game against decent opposition when the heat is turned up if we play like that we'll probably lose

We need people to step up. Haaland did. Gvardiol possibly did. Jack did ok but we need more. Ruben shirked it. Kovacic was shaky, borderline panicking. Walker is our captain apparently but hes an absolute fucking car crash. Bernie barely noticeable at times and a horror show from gundogan. Newcastle are bang out of form but we couldn't control that game today. I can't believe anyone would fancy us at anfield, arsenal or united if we play like that?

Thankfully it's early days and this happens almost every season with us, so stay calm and see how it pans out

You could say we are actually outperforming what we are normally doing at this stage of the season.

On a side note, did Ederson completely forget he was on a yellow when he decided to stop the game for what felt like an eternity? It felt like he was pushing it as far as he could to get a booking but forgot he was already booked.

It would have been really ironic if Eddie had got a second yellow for time wasting after Arsenal keepers time wasting master class last Sunday.
 
Did not deserve anymore than the point.
Thought Walker was very good.
And a very dodgy penalty given the thumbs up by the VAR official a certain Mr Atwell ffs

Has he had a poor start, really. Apart from the corner against Arsenal, where he shouldn't have been the one to mark Gabriel, what has he done wrong?

He was slow getting back into position against Arsenal, not entirely his fault but that resulted in the equaliser.

The penalty is on Walker today, if he isn’t a yard behind our back 4 Gordon was offside

Or if Akanji hadn't let Gordon get goal side, or if our midfield had done better to stop the situation arising etc.
 
The transfer policy in the last 2-3 years have been really strange.

The inability to find Rodri replacement or someone who can help Rodri for a club while splurging cash on Nunes and Kalvin.

Our squad is severely depleted and it’s Pep’s genius that was keeping us afloat with consistent titles.
There would be a season where this would really bite us. Maybe it’s this season. Maybe Pep does another wonder and we win a title again.
But Pep’s non chalance towards few of our new signings makes me think they were all txiki signings.
Our squad is at our worst in the Pep era. While Arsenal and Liverpool have increased their depth year on year.

This is the most level playing field in the last 7 years. We may even be a little weaker than Arsenal and Liverpool.

Let’s see if we can pull out another title from the hat with Pep’s genius in the absence of Rodri and the fast decline of KDB.

With Rodri injured - the only players in their prime in our squad are Maybe Haaland Grealish Foden

Bobb Doku Savio still young!
