Newcastle United 5-1 Brentford (08/10/2022)


Recommended Posts

Seen a few people questioning the offside decision. It was right in line with me and I called it straight away. Toney was clearly interfering with play, Schar clears it otherwise. Toney also came from behind Schar on his blindside. 
 

I thought the penalty decision was more dubious tbh, BDB got caught under the ball and had to jump backwards. You simply have to raise your arm, it’s a natural movement. The ball was then headed against his arm at point blank range. I’m not at all sure what he was meant to do.

I was right behind Burn for the pen, I knew from his reaction it was a pen.

Defensively, we can still improve. There were times that I got nervous watching them attacking us and another good team would have probably got another goal or two. 

 

Offensively, on our day, we are just relenteless. So a bit more experience, we'll balance it out better.

Late ratings:

 

Pope 6 Was lucky their goal was ruled offside

 

Trippier 8 Assist, bossed it.

 

Schar 6 Same as pope.

 

Botman 7 Some lush balls

 

Burn 5 Probably his weakest performance for us.

 

Willock 8 Bossed it for large periods.

Desperate for a goal.

 

Bruno 9 Two Goals, he's God basically.

 

Longstaff 6 Lost the ball a couple of times but played well other wise.

 

Miggy 8 A thorn all day, in fine form.

 

Murphy 7 Another positive game.

 

Wilson 7 Will be annoyed with himself for not scoring. 

And you only give god 9, tight twat:snod:

What about his play though?

Thing that goes against Burn is that his arm is on the way down, then when it goes over him, it goes back up again.

Which is natural to keep your balance as you are landing. Thought it was harsh but there was a Brentford player in earshot of ref which probably swayed the quick decision and once given on field VAR was never going to overturn.

As mentioned it was my first game in five years yesterday. Felt like my first ever game as a kid walking up the Gallowgate steps!

 

It was such a thrill to see Bruno play live, what a talent! It wont be another five years till my next game thats for sure!
