[Tolmie scores]

Played newcastle , Ill take a point after being 3-1 down , poor performances from a few particularly Foden and Walker

Tbf Walker has been outstanding for us for years. He still didnt shy away from the game today even when struggling. Sign of good character and we need to back players like that to the hilt.

Woeful? Newcastle gave a superb account of themselves. Sometimes we have to acknowledge the opposition's quality, and the geordies were top quality, especially in the first half.

Maybe so! But we were shit

Foden and Grealish not enough ?

No a left footer that can cross and beat his man with no overlapping LB this is the main problem with the attack

Can someone please tell me the last time a straight "Red Card" was overturned in game by VAR.

On the grounds of it supposedly being "a clear and obvious error".

When it was anything but a clear and obvious error.

I can not think of a game.

Cheers in advance.

Feels to me like VAR review, and go to the Monitor has become a code message for changing the out come.

I can not remember a game where the Ref has not overturned a decision after going to the monitor.

"VAR Booth here walk to monitor and change ruling".

Considering how hard Pep made it for the team it's a good point. But we are so vunerable to pace its unreal. A lot on here calling out Walker, but Cancelo was just as bad and not for the first time. None of our Centre halves seem to carry it forward as well as laporte and he's better at attacking corners than the rest too. Big Season for Foden, he needs to do more if he's to become the player he has promised to be.
Could have been better , could have been worse. We'll take the point and move on.

I know we all have opinions on VAR but that was a bizarre one today…. That was a red card all day long… no precedent to reverse it.

 

[hilts]

No you're chatting it again.

Okay big blue.

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

Saving the subs for the important game v Barca ;-)

 

[geoff hammond]

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.

Haaland may have miscued it like he did in the first half and also against Bournemouth last week.

Newcastle dug in when a goal down and rolled their sleeves up and turned the game right around,they deserve a lot of credit but it’s no use if they don’t follow up on what was a fantastic draw for them by putting in the effort at their next home game,as for us all going to plan a goal up then we completely fall to pieces all over the pitch,wasnt until we made it 3-2 that we started to look more like ourselves but given the overall performance I’m happy enough with the point ..
