He was in the air - no foot on the ground gill after the challenge.

That is allowed though?

Full name is Joseph Joelinton mate.

That's just unfair. Loads of folk will get caught out!!

 

[Dribble]

Be interesting if we continue this inverted tactic against palace who have the pace, width and skill to cause us issues

I reckon it should be added to our armoury, but Newcastle cruelly exposed the weaknesses behind the genius formation.

We should have reverted to a flat back four with overlapping full backs within the first 30 minutes of the match.

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…

If we keep hitting the 100 points mark, it's simply unfair on the rest of the league as GN keeps saying! With less depth in the squad this season, we're looking for a sympathy title win in the high 80s instead where we'll be lauded for doing it with such a light squad ... I'll not hold my breath. On another note, another rapid fire yellow from Cancelo while Joelington going in hard all game gets his on 85 minutes

With grandpa stood behind them both.

Haha , I never saw him.

Bit of a weird game. Thought we were awful for most of the first hour, looked decent at 3 1 down to pull it back level, then reverted to playing like the first hour again once level.

Having said that Haaland could have scored 4 (foden non cross/hit post/toe poke over the bar) but we look a bit dodgy at the back when teams run at us…..

Not the worst result, SJP will be a difficult place to go for many teams but we were far from great today…

I'm not sure a red card like that has ever been recinded before. Wasn't an obvious error from the ref. Airborne challenge that connected. Seems.... strange.

Zaha vs Walker will be interesting.

Walker usually does well against Zaha.

 

[Bluearmy]

I agree with Bernardo being central. He is at his best there.

100%…..

That’s one of our “Get out of Jail” cards used up.
What an uncomfortable watch that was.
Poor tactics, poor player performances, no substitutions…..We got a lucky draw.
