Bent.

We'd have won that with the extra man. VAR manipulated result again.

Wasn’t a red card for me. Yellow was right. It was a reckless challenge that stopped an attack, the epitome of a yellow in the laws of the game.

It wasn’t dangerous.

Hmm exposed some weaknesses of the inverted full backs against teams with pace up front. Bournemouth occasionally found space but nothing came from it. I wonder if pep will have a rethink against certain teams dread to think of salah being given that space !!
still early days!

- Newcastle away will be a tough game for a few more teams yet, very happy with a point after where we were.

- Nick Pope ultimately drew them their game, so it can't have been as bad as it felt c.60 minutes.

- Gundogan and Haaland still looking decent, they'll be a lot of goals between them this season.

- Walker in midfield has looked incredible and really naive so far. We wouldn't play like that against Liverpool, there will be some teams that punish us with that space on the wings.

- You don't win or lose the league in August. Reminder to everyone that four points in front of Liverpool is worth fuck all at this time of year.

- Think it probably was a yellow and not a red. Commentator celebrating it like a goal was fucking annoying, though.

I think we deserved the win here, but fair play to Newcastle, good game.

Newcastle deservedly lead, Newcastle dominated… the match stats say otherwise….

I said it at half time about getting walker for gomez and still think it should of happened as we needed a goal at the end and walker instead of passing the kdb at the end of the game in a better place for a cross he wipes it straight to pope in net there a reason why walker gets about 2 assist a season

Literally don't know what is a red card nowadays.
High, out of control, studs showing with intent to injure.
Fucking corrupt.

Nice work of fiction that.

Never seen Pep’s tactics failing so badly ever. Walker is probably the least technically gifted player in the entire squad and Pep play him inverted, allowing potenitally the best counter attacking winger in the league acres of space. All three goals happened through St.Maximin racing down the left side. I’ll take a point, after being 3-1 down, but feel we could easily have won it

 

[skillman]

Did well to come back from 3-1 down given how bad we were. It’s mad that our 5/10 performance matches other team’s best effort. We could’ve won it too.

Will never not be amazed at our mentality. Never ever down and out. It’s phenomenal.

Really worried if Ake is injured cause stones was absolutely shocking today and that can sometimes be a harbinger for him.

Some really poor performances today, but I thought Foden was particularly poor. Young players have a dip after a rapid rise. I hope his is short.

 

[blueabdi]

We had equalized so early, if we could have made the right substitution, we would have won. But well done for fighting back and getting a point. Walker and Diaz should improve their awareness.
