Newcastle United 2-0 Wolves (EFL Cup) - 20/9/16 post match reaction from page 13


Recommended Posts

Ritchie+Yedlin on the right looks like it could be as formidable a right side you could hope for in this league. Ritchie's ability on the ball obviously has to be respected especially cutting in and then Yedlin on the overlap has to be accounted for. Hopefully Lazaar was just rusty and will come out better next time (Im sure he will) and that can happen on the left as well.

Good performance that,  they had a really good chance in the 1st half to take the lead but other than that they didn't look that threatening.  Yedlin and Clark impressed me. Murphy was decent.  Lazaar was pretty rubbish. Gouffran's goal was insanely good

If I'd had to have picked 2-0 and 0-2 in the last two games, this is the way I'd have done it like. Don't think Saturday's three points and performance will do too much damage grander scheme of things (we want shot if it has much of a bearing given there's still 114 points left to play for), while a cup run is a nice rarity.

Few photos and videos popping up showing the dickhead young kids out in full force again tonight, trying to intimidate the Wolves fans at full time.

 

Sometimes makes me wish theyd put the prices up for these games to stop the homework skipping pricks from coming and embarrasing themselves and everyone around them

Well that was considerably better. Very comfortable in the end. Brief thoughts:

 

Darlow - couple of good saves and comfortable with all crosses etc. Tough decision for Rafa as to whether to stick with him.

 

Yedlin - Impressed with him, both on the ball and defensively.

 

Lazaar - Couple of very shaky moments defensively, far too early for any conclusions though.

 

Colback - Actually played well, took the ball forward on a few occasions.

 

Ritchie - Back to textbook Ritchie. Very good.

 

Gouff - scores only worldies.

 

Murphy - some good hold up play. Not going to get in behind or owt, obviously.

Totally agree.

 

There was some absolute fucking slack-jawed idiots tonight mind. Some absolute weapon launched a nearly full bottle in the Leazes which crashed down near a steward next to the tunnel, christ knows what would have happened if it had hit one of the kids sitting a few yards away.

I was there. Typical league cup affair tbh, although the goading of the kids was just that from where I was, just kids messin' about. Nothing serious.

 

It sounds like a lot of others saw some pretty horrible stuff though.

Bother at the end there in the Leazes End?

 

What happened?

 

So, I didn't have a great view but at circa 85 minutes or so, several hundred Newcastle fans in the Leazes End just migrated on mass - looking to get as close as they could get to the East Stand corner (hosting the Wolves fans). Police had to step into clear the aisles - which were full of people goading our visitors. Not sure exactly what triggered it - knackers aside.

 

I note in the Strawberry corner the back two rows were left vacant and patrolled by stewards. Obviously to put a stop to SportsDirect vandalism.
