Newcastle United (A) | Post Match thread

[Pingu the Penguin]

Too many comments pointing the finger at VAR and the ref. We let ourselves down and I hope we address that tragic defence sooner rather than later. Only reason we weren’t exposed in the previous two games is because the opposition didn’t have the balls to play football. If I’m a team preparing to play City, I’m looking at that and thinking “the only we way we get a result is if we have a real go instead of sitting back”.

Lucky to get a point today. Ake, who we were close to selling a few weeks ago, looks our best defender at the minute. Hope he’s back next week.

I hope that’s the story of the season because we will win many many games

Just a thought… why wouldn’t Pep get some fresh legs in when Toon’s players were clearly knackered? It seems he doesn’t trust Grealish but I thought he could’ve given Dan Burn fits down the right flank for the last 10 or so. I felt we could’ve found the winner had Pep made a sub or two. Can’t be too unhappy with taking a point from being down 3-1 tho. Brilliant FK from Trippier. Newcastle are going to be a problem in the near future.

Grealish is injured and not in the squad today.

A very decent point, considering.

Haaland, just wow!

Walker, Cancelo, Foden, just wow for very different reasons.

I think this iteration of the side might be the weakest since Pep built the 2017/18 side. The balance doesn’t feel good and we have no depth at all. The importance of the players that have left has been seriously undervalued by the fans IMO.

I still expect we’ll win the league because Liverpool don’t look up to it, but currently this side doesn’t get close to 17/18, 18/19 or 20/21 for me.

It was only 10 days ago you were predicting we were gonna get 95-100 points and win it at a canter being much better than anyone else…

 

[Main Stand Hotdog]

I thought we looked a bit leggy all match.

Yeah fair enough I thought we just looked more complacent than knackered in the first half.

Firstly well done Newcastle they deserved a draw. But Foden is becoming so frustrating. Again for the second week running never released the ball for a Haaland tap in. Pep must be furious. Haaland must be pissed off. Give Alvarez a go.

Need Laporte back soonest.
Struggled with the pace of the game today.
New rules for the extra subs but not one used bar the injury is baffling.

 

[Dribble]

Thats simply not true imho. On the very few occasions Walker was in the right back position he dealt with St-M fine. He was in CM most the game so when St-M got the ball Walker was 10-20 yards behind him. He has no chance of catching him. Walker and stones’s performances were totally all on Pep today

On a lighter note, today I learned that Joelinton is his surname and everyone wasn't obsessed with calling him by his full name that I thought was Joe Linton.

Full name is Joseph Joelinton mate.
