Lots of top teams will drop points at Newcastle. And won’t be able to get back after 3-1 down in the 2nd half.
We can’t win all games and sometimes you need to accept it and give credit to the opponent.

The development of Newcastle is interesting to see. With Howe they already made clear it wouldn’t be all big names. And it continued with the players they got in. Not too many. Not the big names. Just about right and fitting the team standards.

Newcastle will be a top 6 team soon. Meaning one of the current top 6 will be out. And whoever replaces the old so called top 4 is fine by me.

As for us today. It was difficult. And again we showed tremendous spirit in fighting back from 3-1 down. Well done.

Considering how poor we played I will take this result to be honest

Would we. The barcodes would have played 9 in the box to preserve a point.

I'm convinced we'd have broke them.

Two "super Sunday" matches where VAR decided the result.

good point in the end

Look, sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up. Saint-Maximin is an on-off player, and today he was on, as in full throttle on. Pope can't distribute to save his life, but he can stop a shot.
I'll take that. We fight again. Chelsea tonked, Liverpool to be tonked by the rags (I don't think…). Nah, I'll take it.

Wasn’t a red card for me. Yellow was right. It was a reckless challenge that stopped an attack, the epitome of a yellow in the laws of the game.

It wasn’t dangerous.

He was out of control.

Guys one question.. Did we miss Jack Grealish today ? :D

Foden shite another chance to square it and he didn’t. Like I said we didn’t have a striker we kept crossing now we have a striker and can’t cross. I also don’t understand the no subs part. Just confusing with Alvarez and mahrez on the bench surely they could have helped

At 0-1 we were looking in total control and if Foden squares that ball to Haaland to make it 0-2 (he had an open fucking net!). That changed the game as it gave them a massive boost not going 0-2 down, everything good for Newcastle and bad for us stemmed from that moment.

Simply not good enough from Foden.

Also, that is a clear red card. It's endangering the safety of the opponent and I hope the club demand a full explanation as to why the VAR official recommended a review, and effectively pressured the (relatively inexperienced) referee into changing his mind when he clearly didn't want to.

will take 1 point all things considered.

Newcastle was all over us and fair dos.
