Newcastle United (A) | Post Match thread

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.

Lots of teams would also blow away Newcastle with the amount of chances we had though, and how many teams would give them that much space.

I'll take that. A lot of our rivals will struggle there this season.

Happy with how we came back in to it. Haaland is a beast. Looked a bit leggy towards the end so hopefully that'll help our fitness.

I thought we looked a bit leggy all match.

Is Ake right now our best defender genuine question. He's been brilliant last season and started this season brilliantly

He looked just as shaky the rest of the defeneders before he went off injured

Don’t people see the problem with Rodri in games like these? When we have the ball with 70-80% possesion in games, he’s loving life. With time on his side and no pressure from the opposition, he could pick out anyone to pass to. But in games like these when they are closing him down, his weaknesses are shown very clearly. His defensive contributions are a problem. That’s always been my view.
Not saying this is on him, but Newcastle just sliced through our midfield today.

A lot of football is about instinct. He's not used to playing wirh target man. He needs time to adapt.

Add on today was not as obvious as last week.

One genuinely positive from this game is Haaland is starting to pick up his form, he's going to be scary, was excellent today. The runs he was making as well are scary.

Good point..Newcastle will take plenty of points off the so called top six

They were battered at Brighton and very very lucky.

 

[bellsouth]

Chelsea played away at a team who were outstanding and they got smashed 3-0z
We played away at a team who were outstanding and we got a 3-3 draw.
Proper team and proper character

I'm worried about crystal Palace next week with our defence. Zaha is on form and so are palace they could cause us big issues next week. Especially with how our defence was today

We have Haaland to bail us out if needed. We always get chances vs Palace regardless of the scoreline.
