Newcastle United 3-0 Swansea City - Post-match delight from p.20


Recommended Posts

Those two further goals are almost as important as the win itself. Everyone knows we're lacking in character and quality but by all accounts (and this includes when McClaren was in charge) there's a staggering drop in confidence between training and matches. Getting a result like that could do wonders for us.

 

:thup:

 

Was bricking it at 1-0 around 75 minutes, looked like they could've won it never mind got an equaliser.

Good for the goal difference.

 

 

could be out the rele zone on tues night. :lol:

 

The ONLY thing going for us against city are that they're gonna try and protect key players for the CL semi.

As close as we've been to looking like we can get out of it in absolutely ages. It's possible that we can lose against Man City and Liverpool, then beat Palace (Ugh God, I'm not looking forward to that match) and still go ahead of them. Although Sunderland obviously can too and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they beat Arsenal.

 

Both play Arsenal, so we could really do with them playing at their best

And they have Chelski match today... ah well.

 

As long as we can keep this half of the squad fit :p

 

That clean sheet and +3 in goal diff is just as important, only -1 behind Norwich now.

Arsenal are a funny team, I think they play better when there's no pressure to win. They can do all their exhibition stuff and it might actually free them up to play the football they prefer to play rather than choke like they usually do when they are chasing the title.

We only had 34% possession.

 

Atletico won with 23% possession the other day.

You must have missed my reply: -

 

We only had 34% possession.

Ahhhh shit, does that affect the result?

Nope. Just proves it means nothing even though McClaren wanted us to keep the ball all the time. Leicester have done alright always having the lower possession stats.

Wish they'd done that all season. Bar a 10 minte spell I thought we played very well, especially allowing Cork and their centre backs the ball and not allowing Sigurdsson any room.

 

Thought Lascelles was great, although that Paloschi was terrible

The sort of performance I expected Rafa to help us grind out. Was always going to take a few games to sort out, but the hope was we picked up a win or two riding on the wave of his appointment. Just such a shame we forfeited the Stoke and Bournemouth games - he could have had almost another month to work with the side

Can anyone confirm if Townsends corner went out of play and back in for the 1st goal??

Everyone around me thought so and was expecting a flag.

 

Assume not since we have goal line technology now. Or is that only covering the width of the goal?

what the fuck has happened to Moreno?

unplayable at the start of the season, horrific today.

 

I think you mean Montero? If we give Aguero the time, space and chances he had today we'll be on the end of a hiding on Tuesday.
