Think a draw was the fair result in the end

We were so poor first half and we have seent hat type of performance before when our midfield of Gundo and Rodri get ran all over by aggressive pacey hard working midfielders. ....its what Liverpool use to do to us at times...

Walker, Stones, Rodri had a really poor first half as did Cancello.....Foden had the worst game ive seen him have and infact Bernardo was the only one to come out of the first half with any credit

The second half we gained control and started to play more like ourselves...partly us and partly Newcastle running out of steam a little.
Walker maintained his position better and that nullified ASM.
Rodri and Gundo got more control a they got a bit closser together and Dias was a leader and used his physicallity to help out
KDB excellent assist and great finish from Bernardo
Poachers goal for Haaland ..could have had a second but the defenders just did enough to slow him up and the keeper came out very well

Trippier should have gone in my opinion....dangerous is open to interpritation BUT for me that was dangerous....regardless of whether his studs are down or up a knee high challenge is always dangerous and it was absolutely cynical ......but i guess this is where interprittion of dangerous comes in

Bernardo MOTM for me

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.

Bang on the money. Needs to be dropped against Palace.

At least we got a point. All that can be said

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

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

100%. His ability to keep possession over the halfway line and draw fouls to slow the game down would have helped us massively first half.

Can't win em all and I'm glad it was at least entertaining

Thought we were excellent going forward

Defensively a shambles though, hopefully it's a one-off

Awesome match that was, Propar end to end. A point away to Newcastle is a good result I feel this season

 

[christened at st marks]

Problem is we have to put a team out for Barca

Like fuck we do

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

I'm convinced we'd have broke them.

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

I think it was definitely a red card. He was off the ground so out of control.

 

[vmsuhail]

Seriously need a proper left winger.

Foden and Grealish not enough ?

You chose

I could choose but if you don't think it was a good game or a fair result and you think pep got the tactics right and responded well knock yourself out.
