Newcastle Fan

Running out of steam at a bad time of the season.

This goal wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Maxi

They are all going bankrupt the way they are run and are desperate for any way to get more money coming in.

Leeds, Crystal Palace, West Ham all felt like defeats, which in a way shows how far we've come but also shows what we need to do to guarantee a spot at the top year in year out, we need to develop that killer instinct and perhaps at the moment we are not there yet, hopefully we can continue being solid in the back and nick a few more wins.

I don't think he even needs to get forward that much tbh, he's a monster at the back and the likes of Willock and Joe do quite well to run into that space on the left.

Went back to his old self lately, maybe we need someone else to take the piss for him to start scoring again.

We don't yet have that killer instincts that top clubs have, this is still a work in progress and the signs are positive but the worry is that these frustrating games will get into our players heads.

It was such a tough ask replacing one of the best midfielders in the world in Bruno but he didn't do too bad today, we still miss Bruno's presence in midfield.

Some great touches in his cameo and would've loved for him to set up the winner, still looks a bit raw but the good thing is unlike in Everton he doesn't have as much pressure on his shoulders.

He didn't do too bad coming on today, hopefully he's matured a bit and will be able to help our cause going forward.

I still don't want to be too harsh on him, coming into a changed team and hasn't played that much lately, he really looked like he was not sharp at all and kept second guessing himself, we can let this one slide but expect better from him going forward.

A fucking monster in midfield, don't understand how he's the strongest player in the league and still does those shitty dives.

Had to score at least one of those second half chances, i love Wilson and he's always stepped up in the past but we need a big rest of the season from him as in the past few games we are losing points to him being a bit off it.

Longstaff or Burn for me, it will make every kid that one day it could be them.

Sky sports just released their footballers "black list" with their top picks of black players for 2022, who the fuck thought this was a good idea

There was a funny discussion on twitter regarding Dubravaka, that he was sent by us as an agent to get us insights about Ten Haag's tactics for this moment. the paradox in this is that If we win, he will get nothing but if Man Utd win, he will get a cup winners medal

Thinking of flying for the game from Bahrain, depends on wither i can get tickets or not.

Not getting a striker might end up costing them big time this season.

He doesn't add much to our current side which i s more physical and pushes other teams around, Murphy has his limitations but you can see the role he can play when he comes on which is something you can't really see Fraser doing, i thought it was in everyone's best interest if he went somewhere else in January even if its just a loan.

He's carried us enough times in the past for him to be allowed to have a month like the one he had after the world cup, i did think he would've benefited from a rest and Isak from a start yesterday but Howe had other plans which worked and got the job done, interesting to see if he starts on Saturday but he's got my full support and hopefully one goal will help him get his confidence back.

He's putting in the effort and his decision making is so much better but i do worry he will slip back to his old habits of not producing in the final third, needs to get a goal soon to get his confidence back up.

What an amazing night this must be for a boy from the North Shields, two goals at SJP to take Newcastle to the cup final, he fully deserved that too for all the effort he's been putting in the last few games.

That was the worst moment of the game, he didn't mean it but it looked nasty, lucky he can still play the final but we will lost our shape in the next few games.

We made this far more difficult than it was, losing Bruno will be a blow for the next three games. but fucking hell a cup final was not in the script for this season, amazing job by Howe and the team regardless of what happens now.

Good thing the first half came to an end, we lost our way about after that sucker punch, too many passes going stray so its a good chance to collect ourselves and finish this second half.
