Stottie Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Great first half. Unlucky to be behind. We had them under control till Murphy lost possession near midfield at the 30 minute mark. They had a counter that seemed to shift the momentum in their favour. It was then all them till that chance on the end. I hope we can build on it second half.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think people are confusing two fantastic crosses with poor defending. Very, very tough to stop either of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I see the optimism but if we can't defend simple balls in we'll never take anything from this. Missing Lascelles. The goals were due to the full backs, not the centre backs. Lejeune got outjumped for the second mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goals were due to the full backs, not the centre backs. First was Hayden, you can't blame Yedlin for not out jumping Martial from a standing start. Second Lejeune looked very suspect to me, was definitely sleeping. He had no idea Smalling was behind him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Attacking wise we've been fairly brilliant, look a real threat and our goal was superbly worked. For all the grief he gets, Joselu's link up has been excellent. I thought that earlier. I don't think anyone's been particularly bad either. Murphy's been hot and cold, which is still an improvement.

Infinitely Content Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Glad I can finally turn this off. p*ss off then Do you even support Newcastle? This is good this man, entertaining game. Absolutely crazy if you don't want to watch the second half. We've held our own here. We don't have the quality they do but I'm bloody proud of that first half. Agreed. We've been excellent. Showed loads of desire there, created a good 4-5 chances and found the net. Only a fucking knacker would give up on watching this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thought we’ve played alright but were asking for those goals in the latter part of that first half. The first goal was just quality from Pogba but the second was dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 We've played really well but the goals are dire imo Be honest, when was the last time we conceded and you thought 'fair enough'? I think it's just natural to feel that way when it's your own team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Wish we'd stop backing off around the penalty area too much. either someone will let fly ala Coutinho, or we're going to get done by another cross into the box again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I see the optimism but if we can't defend simple balls in we'll never take anything from this. Missing Lascelles. The goals were due to the full backs, not the centre backs. Second one Lejuene has to header that man They've basically got a header/shot away every time a ball's come in. Good crosses, but we've barely stopped one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 How the fuck are people blaming Manquillo for the first? He's rightly tucked in, Hayden is marking Pogba, Ritchie was also behind him to cover in case Pogba cuts inside....Manquillo's fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Not everything's bad defending, like. Aye, or bad goalkeeping. For the first Hayden gets done by Pogba but like better players than Hayden get done by Pogba and then its an absolute perfect cross for an attacker and a header right in the corner. The second is another brilliant cross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Both their goals have come from absolutely sublime crosses. They're probably the best in the division at delivering quality balls into the box. Nothing to be ashamed of here, no use blaming individual errors, we're up against some good players here and are more than holding our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
