Bimpy474 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Had the Ref given the penalty and we’d gone 3 up it was game over. The free kick Diame gave away for their first was just plain stupid. You could see what may happen if they scored with around 20 minutes to go, our lack of quality cost us. Btw, Atsu has no place on a PL pitch. Told the missus that Mata would score from the free kick and that Sanchez would score in injury time. It’s what happens to us. Any quality off the bench would have made such a difference. Decent chance we would've missed the penalty, don't know who would have even taken it. Rich Tea, he's our number one taker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The only surprise was the lack of Fellaini shithouse tackle followed by him scoring the winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think that was more typical Newcastle than any major tactical failing. Typical Newcastle being Rooney arguing with the ref, and then turning around and instantly hitting the best strike of his entire fucking career. It's one thing to concede a free kick in a dangerous area, but another to concede. We did it from further out against Arsenal too, so maybe something to work on. They were both great strikes, so typical Newcastle, but if there is any marginal gain to defending them better, we should be working on it. That's two games now with fatal momentum shifts off free kicks. 90% of the teams we face this season are not going to score that Martial goal, and 90% of his Man U career he's not been doing that himself. It was just typical Newcastle to happen in this match. If we attack the weaker teams in the league as we did today, we'll win games. Either of the two goals we scored would have beaten Cardiff or Palace. Not scoring in those matches is the issue, not Man U's players turning up for a change today.

Kanji Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So many key moments in the game for us. The handball penalty, Muto header, Diame header. Even Pogba purposely fouling Yedlin on the counter when we would have had a 3 vs 2 Our mistakes always get punished too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Cardiff or Palace don't give you the space Perez was in for our first goal or the space Muto had to turn for the second though, its a lot easier create things when the other team controls the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottlob Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 For me after our second goal - Shelvey's shot and Muto's header aside - our attacking play lacked composure and conviction, Perez, Diame, Ritchie, and Kennedy all finding themselves in plenty of space but spurning their opportunities, individuals trying their luck rather than attacking with real intent as a collective. Then in the second half, especially after their first goal for which Diame was considerably to blame, our defending became very sloppy. We somehow contrived to just about deserve to lose the game against a team in utter disarray, and so far this season I think you'd struggle to point to any positives besides an ability to put men behind the ball, because contrary to last season, there's nothing special about our defence or organisation.

mighty__mag Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Knew that was coming. They were a side wanting Mourinho out, they almost looked at times like they were deliberatly playing badly, we are never ever clinical enough with the absolute gifts we were given, from lame weak as piss free shots at goal to frigging air shots. They were horrific in the first half, and I did question if they were so bad it made us just look that little bit better, well the truth is yes Man Utd decided to show up after 60 minutes, and so did Newcastle. We need to eliminate this negative bottle job approach, ok it was difficult with forced subs, but we did play a more advanced game in the first half and it was effective vs three at the back made up of two midfielders, what do we go and do revert to negative bottlers, let's play for the draw? No stay on the fucking front foot and have some bloody desire to take on a wobbling side,a manager who is heading for the sack and a back three that nobody would have risked any other time. Seriously difficult result to take, we won't play a worse side all season than what I witnessed in the first half from Man Utd and we should have put them under much more pressure in the second but we didn't, not trying to pin the blame on any particular player but Diame should never be giving that free kick on the edge of the box to start inviting them back into the game. So pissed at this result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Truth hurts. But let’s all find somebody else to blame as always.. Fair enough. What would you have done differently? Counter-attack. Get the ball and break with pace, don’t hoof it long to a small striker like we opted for. Short, quick passing as we did for 45 minutes. Just because they attacked us doesn’t mean we can’t pass the ball without it being 30+ yards. Don’t concede any stupid fouls, stay on your feet when possible and force them down the line. Don’t let them cut inside. All sounds obvious but we didn’t do any of the above in that second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think that's fair result. Man Utd just being exceptionally bad in 1st half and exceptionally good in 2nd half. We played well, deserve the result due to difference in players quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
