Rompe Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Not one player on the pitch for us at the time I'd be confident of over a penalty tbf I dunno why, but I could see Dummett taking a good no nonsense penalty. Dummett :lol. Dont even remember him having a shot on target, ever. He scored that magnificent goal against Manchester United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummett . Dont even remember him having a shot on target, ever. Bit weird considering he's scored twice. Pens are a bit different, as Shola proved. Can see Dummett just absolutely blasting it. Yeah, but Shola was like Kanu at times when you consider finishing alone (penalties), Dummett isn't. Rather see someone try to hit a penalty for us with a bat than Dummett taking one.

Kasper Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 You'd probably be able to tell where Dummett is shooting it before he started his run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey jake Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It’s all good having a penalty takers list but the fact Kenedy was abysmal all game and this could’ve been a last minute winner we didn’t deserve, Rafa should have called Lascelles over to give it to Shelvey imo.

Big Geordie Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Awful, awful game. Why Kenedy took that pen is beyond me - said to my old man that he would miss. :mad: Still, it's a point away from home and with 10men. That's the only positives.

Dave Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 On the plus side I used an old-fashioned Flash stream and it was fine all match. Good quality too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Utter dross. Missed the penalty fiasco as I had to pop out just before the end of the game but it sounds like it sums everything up. Shite players, no drive, no clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 No complaints with Hayden's sending off but I'll bet another 3 or 4 happen today and yellow will be given. Artur's was a red but it's Newcastle. Id like to hear the refs explanation as to why it wasnt a straight red. If he didn’t think that Arter’s was a red how’s he going to say Kenedy desevered to go?

McCormick Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't fucking get penalty kick-takers, man, smack it hard as you like down the middle and 9 times out of 10 it's in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 You need a bit more to be a good penalty taker than just able to kick a ball with some power...which I'm not even sure Dummett is able to do especially well. Why are we even discussing Dummett taking penalties He'd realisticly be one of the last names on that list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Seriously shit. The team selection wasn't exactly what I personally would have liked. And again the subs were bizarre,I know some were forced, but I expected others, then came the golden opportunity to steal 3 points, because to be fair we would have been stealing points not earning them, but it has now been revealed Benitez chose/went with Kenedy if Ritchie wasn't on the field.Myself I would have had Jonjo Shelvey on it, who was our only good player today, or even Joselu. Really shit, I hope they learn something from this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Two poor sides, but Cardiff played with more heart. Ironically, the red card seemed to ease the pressure on us a bit and gave us the jolt we needed. The ref was a homer, allowing the crowd to make his mind up on a few occasions. We seemed to lose out with quite a number of 50-50 situations in the midfield. Ritchie, Shelvey and Diame aren't particularly sharp and I think the balance doesn't look right.

hakka Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Horrendous game, was literally painful to watch. We were relatively organised defensively, but if Cardiff had any better quality in the box they could have won. Where was Rondon today? I thought last 20 mins would have suited him. Diame and Kenedy were poor, with the latter being total dog shit today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We were awful building out from defence like. Shelvey was so far deep because we didn't have a single defender comfortable or confident of building out from there. Schar has to come in soon.

St1pe Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Pleased with a point all things considered. I think it’s going to get pretty ugly for us given the fixtures and if today is anything to go by it’s going to be a long, hard season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
