Newcastle United (A) | Post Match thread

[BlueMonkey79]

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.

Watch them melt at Liverpool in a couple of weeks. Always the same. Last season when spuds beat us they went on a terrible run.

Triper talks well to be fair

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

Passing was off all day.

Letting Newcastle run at us was a disaster.

Defence was all over the place. Midfield left Rodri on his own.

Positives:

Showed a lot of character to get back into the game. Haaland on the score sheet again.

Annoying:

That **** Hinch & Pep refusing to sub when players looked knackered.

Overall, early season form. Played a good Newcastle who will get points of alot of the top teams.

Improvements needed.

Great summary.

I felt sorry for Ake going off initially, now I'm worried cause stones was mince

He wasn't alone, to be fair.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

We started the game well I thought and probably should've had another. Newcastle got encouragement from Almiron's chance. ASM realised he could get at an out of sorts Walker and he caused him and our backline allsorta of problems. Playing 2 CBs and no cover against their front players was suicidal and the problems were alot of our own doing. Some really sloppy passing and we just looked off the pace against a team that pressed us and had a go at us.

From the 15th minute until we scored our 2nd I thought we were dreadful tbh. But the spirit and determination to come back as pleasing. Its a tough place to go and I suspect our rivals will struggle at Newcastle aswell.

Take the point and move on to next week. There's alot of improving to do.

Fuck off trippier

Trippier shouldn't of been on the pitch to make that last block. Can't fault Newcastle's effort but they will fade when it comes to the business end of the season. As for us another character building exercise

Without sounding like the Liverpool Echo, it's good for the team to get a kick up the backside now and again to keep them on their toes.

It's football...

Some you win.
Some you lose.
Some you draw.

This one we drew.

The posters who think they would have done better than Pep, had they been in charge, rate their knowledge of football and its intricacies too highly.

Mahrez instead of foden and we win that game easy

 

[give it to gordon]

Fuck off trippier

Thought he spoke ok
