We’re not turning our nose up at it, just prioritising a higher league finish over a run in a competition Liverpool are still in.

And this is a massive silver lining for me

We’ll have to agree to to disagree - we’ve all seen Pope make some incredible saves and even the two times they hit the post he was well beaten. He just doesn’t change games for me, can’t see us ever saying “fuck me dubravka was MOTM for me” like we’ve all done for Pope.

So you couldn’t see any chance of pope getting to the second? It was just a low shot across goal, the first granted.

What do you mean “fact is” nobody knows if that’s a fact - all we do know for a fact is he’s never conceded 9 in 3.

I’m sick of the whole “there’s nothing he could have done for all 9 goals” we’ve conceded in just three fucking games he’s played, he’s bang on average and that’s all.

Over react much? We’re still 7th in the league with loads of injuries and a few kids have forced their way into first team contention during the difficult times. We’re still in the cup, again with kids getting us through, Gordon has massively grown this season and we’ve done ourselves proud in the CL. Small margins and I genuinely believe if Pope was playing we’re still in Europe tonight as their keeper made a couple of amazing saves and Dubravka doesn’t have that in his game. This is not the definition of “a piss take” - be proud of the effort, be happy we play less games now and move on.

Yet again it gets past dubs

Only added two mins first half when we were winning, I don’t see your point

Just saying - same defence for some of them and you have to go back to the Brighton game on the second September to collectively concede 9 goals - that’s including CL, cup everything. we’ve managed to do that in last three games.

We’ve conceded 9 goals in 3 with dubs playing.

I know it hit the post but does dubs ever make a save?

Wish it was just luck, I said in first half they were gonna hit us down our left.

He’s been knackered last few games

If we do get one more and they don’t score two - we could win this

I knew we’d score

Say what you like about dubs but his distribution is much better than popes.

Playing really well but I’m not seeing a threat

Trippiers getting done here every time they go forward, I have a bad feeling.

My sentiments exactly - I wanted Howe before he came and still do but the way he handles trippers minutes is insane to me. He tried something different and rested him for the two cup games and it worked yet he won’t repeat it in the league. this is my one and only criticism of him though.

Just out and out bizarre to me as well.

Don’t be so fucking stupid, no one supports Newcastle for glory and these quick “tweeters, keyboard warriors, glory hunters” labels because their opinions don’t line up is pathetic. Most Newcastle fans support them because that’s where we’re from, I’ve lived in Newcastle obviously, Sheffield for uni, London 20 year for work and now Leicester because of my wife and can say the north east has the best area for local fans.

When he was waiting to take the free kick he was panting like me chasing the ice cream van down the street.

Today we had an out and out LB on the bench and livs playing LB. Tripps so should have been rested - even Krafth could have played, we had options for full backs.

You’re right about Targett and Murphy although he had a decent run at one point but Anderson got decent time I feel. Hall hasn’t though and needs to be used more I reckon.
