Very disappointing to lose that and totally undeserved given the performance.

 

Fucking awful that at the end though, it's actually soured it for me - defending a point at home? Nah that's not the way Newcastle United go about things.

 

That's it really. It's not the NUFC way to play it safe. We're not down to 10, or even 9 men (this time). Why not have a go? It's what the club is about. It's not some "rather lose 3-4, than win 1-0" shite either before anyone says it :lol:

Disappointing result but what a performance, team fighting for each other.  Always gonna be a struggle against Chelsea but we were good.

 

1st half they were. 2nd half we stood off the ball all over the pitch & camped in our half. That is a mindset issue as we took the lead. The second they equalised we were out pressing them again.

Cowardly as f*** at the end there like. Chance to score the winner from the corner but we decide to play out the time. f***s sake.

 

Was really disappointed at that, but let's be honest, at this stage any point is very much needed. We're a club in shambles, we need any point we can get.

Pain in the balls that they just got a wonder goal from nowhere to get back in the game.

 

We were cruising at 2-0, once that went in it was inevitable that doubt would creep in.

 

Hope Colback has leg aids btw.

I'm gutted that we conceded the draw but the overall performance is very encouraging. We have to show more character especially away from home if we want to move out of trouble.

At home, taking it into the corner for a draw :( Bit sad that

Not in the circumstances like.

 

Aye not sad, fucking shameful

Considering we're playing Chelsea, had conceded 2 in the second half, are low on confidence and the team were blowing out their arses, it's common sense.

 

It's not something I normally defend, but in this case it's fair enough imo.

Don't think we were cruising at all. 18% ball possession for a while there. Were letting them pass it around our box more or less.

Krul - 6 Arguably should have done better but ok generally

 

Janmaat - 7 - Usual attacking self, again had a good opportunity to score. If his finishing was better I suspect he'd be a winger by trade.

Mbemba - 7 - Solid

Colo - 6 - Though improved still think looks lacking in confidence

Mbabu - 9 - Short of a goal perfect debut

 

Anita - 6 First goal came from the zone he should be guarding imo, not convinced by him. Beginning of second half he could not get a touch.

Colback - 7 - Better than usual apart from one horrific pass and anotehr stupid yellow. And then in a good game he gets injured.

Sissoko - 5 - Had some good moments but very much to blame for giving away a silly foul for second goal, even if it was harsh

Wijnaldum - 7 - Improved plenty from lackluster recent form, know he probably doesn't want to play out wide but it worked.

 

Perez - 8 - Quality up front, had a partner

Mitrovic - 8 - Disciplined and a beast of a centre forward, did everything bar score very well

Nap sorry that's just a load of shit - you score from a corner and then you try  and keep it safe when you need 3 points - if it's 2 - 1 yes but not when you need the win

We shit ourselves at half time. The only reason we got that 2nd was mbabu actually taking a hold of the game & chasing Hazard across the pitch to win it back. That is the kind of player we need, then we score from him putting us on the counter. Our only attack. The rest was more sitting back.

 

You cant allow players of that quality time to pass the ball man.
