Got Isak charged with covering Caicedo. Brilliant.

Why the high line man.

Control the ball second half a bit better, and we're almost there like.

Hahahah fuck off ref. Fuck off VAR. Fuck off Liverpool. Have some of that.

Love that avatar.

FFS turn away for two minutes. Goddammit.

Liverpool currentl 9/4 to finish top four. Newcastle 1/6. Could get a better price on Newcastle if you're still bullish. Alternatively, if you want to soften the potential blow - now is not a bad time to put some money on Liverpool. I can't bring myself to it

Agree. Their form has fallen off but they are 12 points better off than last year's total with two games to go. It's been a big year for them, they are just living in an era of an absolute juggernaut in Man City.

I think it's one of most difficult hurdles for a decent team transitioning to a very good team to be able to attack effectively without overcommitting numbers. To be good offensively, without being leaky defensively. Newcastle seemed to have had the knack for that particular evolution for periods of the season, but it hasn't been seen in a while now. Even games we've won, you've seen some pretty easy gilt-edged chances come about for the opposition, without too much hard work on their part. Even when we shred Spurs to ribbons. I'd play conservatively first half, and bring on ASM after half time to hit them on the break. Hope the crowd don't get too impatient as I think the best realistic outcome involves the game being a tight one for long stretches, and Newcastle being out of possession.

True, but their keeper pulled off quite a few good saves, tipping the ball round the post, before you put it to bed. Should be a fun end to the season, anyway.

Thought you managed the end of that game very well tbh. Wolves looked rudderless, struggling to get out of their half with the ball, and positively sheepish past the halfway line.

Still not writing him off, but he is my pet peeve I think I definitely am forming a bias against the guy. Got unreasonably pissed off at him for getting dispossessed. The fucker just does not know when to release the ball.

He's got an ankle injury I think.

I think it's a fair criticism. It doesn't mean the side should be consigned to the dustbin forever, but it's fair to acknowledge their was a lack of control in the play which we know the side is capable of - and that we played Leeds' game, not ours. It's all good as far as I'm concerned, they need to learn play big matches with high stakes. * - only saw second half

How was the Isak and Wilson experiment in the first half?

Only saw the second half but that was a bottling performance. Couldn't match the intensity or physicality of a clogger team. Played their game instead of ours. Fair play to Leeds for their desire.

I would. He's not going to unpick a defence which is sitting back, Almiron has a chance at least.

Glad it's an early kick off. Had the taste of the Arsenal game in my mouth for too long. Unfortunately first half clashes with a birthday party for a classmate of my 4 year old. So I'll be slyly watching it on my phone as I continue my avoidance of making any parent friends.

Great game. That Tchoumeni hit, man. For fucks sake.

Still think Citeh should have played Haaland, like.

WEEEEW!

NUFC have played some great football this year. I look some of the play tonight though, and it makes our side look like Steve Bruce is still in charge. There's so far to go.
