Newcastle United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Huge win & players dug deep but pep has got to react better in 2nd half. Every team changes system 2nd half & we freeze.

Big effort blues

Newcastle are a good team, that was a very good result.

We should have made it more comfortable really with the breakaways that we didn't turn into shots.

We were not as bad in the second half as other recent games. Sloppy, yes. But the fight and effort was there in spades.

Haaland looks well up for the run in.

Pressure on Arsenal now, come on City!

Spot on about the big man.
People knock him.
What more do they want.
The lads amazing and as you rightly said he's up for it
 
We'll get the same "2nd half was shite" shite this evening but that was a massive win against a team that created only 0.5xG. They didn't have any big chances second half, reduced to pumping into the box or long range pot shots.

Khus and Guehi were immense. Haaland too. NOR a shoe in for Young Player of the Season.

Over to you Arsenal. Can see them dripping points tomorrow.
 
3 points but we need to do something about the 2nd half. Semenyo had so many chances to kill the game, RAN had 2 chances to square it for easy goal as well.
 
Difficult win but a really important one.

Wasted about 10 counters due to poor final passes or wrong decisions, especially in the 2nd half.

The lads properly fought for the 3 points, though.

O'Reilly is a contender for our player of the season.

Huge win but alarming second half again. We just look so unfit compared to a team who had an away CL game in midweek.

I don't even know if it's fitness.

It's happening as soon as the game restarts after half time. If we were hitting a wall after 60-70 mins, then it's fitness. But to look good, then can't get going again as soon as second half starts, it's a bit odd. Almost like it's psychological. Obviously you have to factor in the opposition making some tweaks at half time but still...

I dunno if its possible to fix the 2nd half problems with Don in net tbh

He can't kick it long and find our players.

I think his short passing is actually pretty decent, but he seems scared to do it to our players receiving under pressure.

It’s not his fault he is not Ederson with his feet. He has saved us a ton of points. The trade off is about the same points wise.

The defenders need to find the right pass into midfield and the midfielder needs to take up the right position.
