Newcastle United 1 - 1 Royal Antwerp - 18/03/18 - Post-thing reaction from pg8

[Figures 1-0 Football]

I really hope Joselu's the one to score the goal that keeps us up, like. I know a lot of people don't agree, but I think it would be well-deserved after the stick he's had.

 

The only ‘stick’ Joselu has had, is people rightly commenting on his terrible performances.

 

Such a weird statement.

Presume both Harker and Fernandez will play the last 45, interesting to see how they both get on.

 

Lascelles is passing well for a player who cant pass.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Atsu looks really comfortable in the Perez position.

Trouble brewing between Haidara and one of their lads, Lascelles stepping in.

[Twinport53]

Whats their little midget striker squaring up to everybody for

[Figures 1-0 Football]

How did he book Haidara but not book their player for that?

[Dave]

Been pretty rough for a friendly.

Rafa looking right at home in his smart/casual blazer jacket.

 

You don't get those kinds of observations on nufc tv.

 

On another note, Gayle is running through the sprinklers like a 3 year old in the back garden. Fair play.

Limbombe vs Lascelles was

Total football time now with Perez, Kenedy & Fernandez taking to the field.

Harker didn't react quickly there. 

[Bizza]

1-1 the minute I start watching

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Young lad in nets concedes the first shot he's faced.

[Disco]

Sat back again, you fat Spanish cunt. I hate you so much. Get Curbs in now!

[taxfree]

Awful shot. Get rid.

[Matt]

Young lad in nets concedes the first shot he's faced.

 

He could go on to be a world beater but he will be the guy who picked the ball out the net with his first touch in first-team football.

[Pilko]

Harker looked like he was doing his best Rob Elliot impression for that goal like.

[Infinitely Content]

Hayden's been canny like.

[xLiaaamx]

That was peak Diame.

[Magpie]

Cracking save from Diame

[Infinitely Content]

Those bairns are having Kenedy's life there for overhitting that cross. I wonder how he will recover.

If that's the way it turnds out, fair enough. But th last thing I want is for our survival being dependant on Joselu's finishing.

The only ‘stick’ Joselu has had, is people rightly commenting on his terrible performances.

 

Such a weird statement.

 

Wrong. The criticism of performances is absolutely fair enough, he's not a very good player. The problem is with the abuse that's been levelled directly at him by fans when he's fucked up, despite us as a group of supporters insisting that the only thing we ask for is a 'club/team that tries' - when as far as I can tell his effort's not in question - and Ashley being the entire reason we have a player of his known quality at all in the first place. 

 

...and aye, it's proper weird to want one of our players to redeem themselves. Players like Sibierski, Perch, Shola, Jonas, Gouffran  etc turning it around or partly turning it around never happened, they're all still universally hated.

I'm not sure about that. A lot of his movments look lethargic and lacking energy. Sticks a lazy leg at quite a few challenges. I certainly wouldn't say he's a workhorse.
