Newcastle United 1 - 1 Southampton - 14/12/13 - post-match reaction from page 32


Recommended Posts

It was the performance and missed chances that was more meh than the result. A point against Southampton ATM isn't a bad result. It just feels more like we lost 2 points than gained 1. Remember a large proportion of us were voting for a draw/loss before the match started.

 

Pick ourselves up and dust off, it's a should win game next and we always struggle with them, about time we took it to one of the crap teams. I'd like to see Pardew go with an attacking presence, drop Shola and bring in HBA from the start.

Newcastle’s pass completion of 69% was their lowest in a Premier League home game this season and the lowest at home since Jan 2012.

 

More proof stats are bollocks in the grand scheme of things. First half Southampton had twice as much of the ball as us almost (34-66) yet we were the better team. Second-half we had more possession than the first, yet played worse.

Means fuck all.

 

We had 27% possession at Southampton, yet they hardly had a shot on target, their two goals came from balls whipped in to the far post and headed back across (so hardly the result of hours of tiki-taki passing), and we won 3-2.
