Yeah, the game felt like a return to December, terrible finishing, Trippier mistakes, Dubs letting in soft ones. I would warn people who create narratives from the result and result alone is that this empowers people who talk about stats like xG. It is "We lost, so what!" people who hate xG the most. On a personal level, Man U are still poor and miles off their best, so I don't mind losing to them. This one result won't make them better.

it is chicken feed compared to CL - if we want to try and aim for it next season we haven't the squad if we get Conference League. To keep the likes of Isak and Bruno we need CL football.

Sometimes it's hard to be a fan...

How is it zero financial reward? West Ham earned €18m purely in prize money. We'd be able to field a second string for the majority of the competition too. Really winds me up fans not wanting to play European football so we can focus on the league and try to qualify for European football.

Can’t get the ball out to him when he’s warming the bench mind. I feel for Howe because us being cute in the last transfer window is one of the reasons why we’ve suffered this much.

he's going to be lacking match fitness but he totally switched off for their first goal. that was nothing to do with his legs.

Think there are some harsh posts here. He’s been out and hasn’t got his sharpness. He had a lapse or 2 one of which cost us. Unless it’s silly money I’d be happy to see him play for us next season. Would think he’s still got 1 good season left in him. Ideally Tino would show enough in training and matches to play at least half the games.

Barnes's goal record would suggest that providing we can get that out of him when he's fully up and running, he'll be worth every penny.

I dunno, he looked fucking knackered after about 20 minutes today.

Cause its a ton of games - we've not the squad for it, it is zero financial reward and it will impact our league form. And why is it a realistic chance of a trophy? its not a given - still decent teams in that competition.

Literally stonewall pen ignored, because Manchester red.

Although I did think we didn't look right for a big chunk of the first half, I think this is reasonable.

It only equates to a poor performance when we can't put teams away in crucial big games when we've had the chances, something of a recurring theme this season

Gone from absolutely hating this kid to loving him like. He's seemingly come on leaps and bounds as a footballer and a person since arriving here which is a testament to Eddie Howe. What a fantastic interview post match.

The mistakes are down to lack of concentration and composure. Nothing to do with his legs going.

The only saving grace of this season is that Bruno stayed healthy and miraculously avoided the two game ban.

As blatant as you get

We won’t win Sunday, so got to hope Brighton show the same heart they showed against us. I won’t hold my breath, the poncey bastards.

He's been the catalyst of our recovery under Howe but in hindsight we should have sold him to Munich. Hopefully when he's fully up to speed again we'll get at least one more good season out of him.

Keanes act is beyond cringe atp. He’s not achieved a single fucking thing post retirement, and is still salty that Ferguson rightly binned him when he wasn’t up to it anymore

The guy could have actually tied his shoelace and still scored before being tackled. The contrast when we have 3 on 1 and somehow make amarbat the favourite

Even a 10/15 percent drop off in his reactions is killer at Pl level. I love trips but it’s all downhill from here im afraid

If it wasn't obvious, 'I support Newcastle' was just shorthand for 'we haven't won a trophy in my lifetime'

So impressed with his heart and determination considering he was being kicked to bits and was clearly in pain / struggling
