Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal - 15/09/18 - Post-match reaction from page 12ish

[Stottie]

More a case of giving them prods rather than asking them real questions, but we're definitely in it.

Seven corners for us, but no shots (on target at least) I can remember.

[Altamullan]

39% possession and one shot, Arsenal 2 shots, according to BBC.

[LionOfGosforth]

Is Lascelles ok??

[frankpingel]

Mentioned again on radio newcastle that he's not looking comfortable.

[Deuce]

Dummett and Yedlin swap sides.

 

Use that speed to get behind Bellerin

And back

[Newintoon]

Perez man, what is wrong with u,

he can’t pass can’t take on a man, can’t hold it up,

useless today

[hakka]

Ritchie been great today.

[triggs]

Dummett and Yedlin swap sides.

And back

It was just because they didn’t have a chance to swap back over after the free kick as Arsenal kept possession for ages

[Superior Acuña]

We need fret

[sempuki]

HT - much improved.

[Infinitely Content]

Thought Fede Fernandez & Matt Ritchie have been excellent that half. Perez, Dummett, & Joselu really contributing too. We've looked good and have some great options on the bench. Howay Newcastle!

[Stottie]

Mustafi slipped earlier and just let Joselu get in there. Good cross to Ritchie but well defended. HT.

[triggs]

Ritchie’s haircut is awful, playing well though. Fernandez has been excellent

[nufcjb]

Get Shelvey on for Hayden and we can go for it

[James]

2 pages!

[Lenny]

We've played fairly well but doing what we do best, and that's not capitalising on a team that is there for the taking. We let teams get away with so many mistakes.

 

Shelvey and Rondon on; more of the same and we have a chance.

[TRon]

More a case of giving them prods rather than asking them real questions, but we're definitely in it.

Seven corners for us, but no shots (on target at least) I can remember.

 

We have zero threat in forward positions, Arsenal are suspect at the back, but Perez will be too deep, and Joselu....well he's Joselu.

[xLiaaamx]

If we use the right subs we can hurt them

 

Cue Clark and Manquillo

[ToonArmy1892]

Which end are we attacking second half?

[Kanji]

We’re going to be OK this season. The team is well drilled. Just need to get Shelvey back into the fold fit and we’ll be better in attack. Team fucking grafts that’s for sure. Rondon and Kenedy would be nice to bring on sooner than later.

[loki679]

Half time stat said we had 36% possession, that can't be right.

[TRon]

If we use the right subs we can hurt them

 

Cue Clark and Manquillo

 

We'll concede a daft goal before then making the subs academic.

[Ketsbaia]

Playing well here, mind. Just need to bring on Shelvey to take advantage of it.

[mighty__mag]

Ritchie and Murphy both looking to supply the diagonal and catch out the Arsenal full backs. I'm scratching my head why Rondon isn't in the side, because so far it seems we are looking to attack the flanks both Ritchie and Murphy have put numerous balls into the area, but surprise there's nobody available to convert anything. I think we would have had a goal in that half with an extra forward on the pitch and sacrifice Hayden or Ayoze.
