Newcastle United 0-2 Manchester United (26/02/2023)

[LiquidAK]

Such a shame that they hit us for 2 so quickly one after the other. Really suckerpunched us and gave us such a mountain to climb. 1-0 going into the 2nd half and we force something imo.

 

This hurts

Casemiro was outstanding for the cunts btw. Absolutely everywhere. Just the sort of midfielder we need to be after in the summer.

He’s probably the 3rd best midfielder in the world

Extremely punchable face though.

GG @Froggybtw.

 

You prick

[SUPERTOON]

The praise Casemiro gets now is quite disrespectful, he’s been putting in these type of displays at the top level for the last 6/7 years and only seems to get credit now he’s in England.

[Beren]

Feel a bit numb.

 

From a rational perspective, I thought that was a better performance than our previous two finals (although I was a kid so maybe my memory is shite). We fought hard and showed some good stuff. We've played worse this season and won.

 

On the other hand, from a Man Utd perspective you'd be hard pressed to call that anything but a comfortable victory.

 

It's a bit frustrating because there was some promising flashes but not enough against such an in-form team. Also some of the known recent issues were prominent - Wilson and Almiron ran hard but were passengers. Neither offering much at all. I like them both, but it might be fair to wonder if their purple patches aren't sustainable. Not much you can do mid-season with that kind of problem. I was disappointed Isak didn't start personally.

 

Schar and Botman looked uncharacteristically lost at sea from the get go. They've been the rock of the team so that was unsettling. Karius was pap for the goal.

 

I thought ASM played well. Really tried to conjure something. Bruno gave a good account of himself - his heart on his sleeve, but not reckless and keeping things ticking.

 

You just have to hope lessons are learned and the next final isn't 24 years away.

[Jordan]

Gutted but we’ll be back. This is just the start. 

[jarralad]

Gutted that we couldn't even manage to score 1 goal for all of the fans that went down today.

[Abacus]

Hell of an effort from the fans. They did us proud.

 

Should have heard the roar in the pub when those flags were still going at the end.

We've gone from Bruce and Ashley to a cup final.

 

Throw yourself in the sea if you're disappointed

Some of you lot and this magic transfer window. How has it worked out for Chelsea getting in all those players to turn around their fortunes?

Chelsea had a ridiculously strong squad even before January man Kaka, what are you talking about.

 

We've done great to get where we are, today has been amazing and the feeling of absolute dread in the build up is something I've only felt from England recently (a complete reversal from growing up), but the past month we've seen the pretty clear drop off that people (outside of Newcastle fans especially) predicted.

Maybe people have only watched him now he's in England though?

Absolutely.

 

Tremendous progress.  Just got we can recover and get 4th now.  What a season that would be.  

 

Well ahead of progress.

[BlueStar]

My mate called the referee a fucking twat and some woman shouted at me and told me off for swearing in front of kids. I said it wasn't me,it was my mate Ben, so she told me to tell him. So I told him not to call the referee a fucking twat any more and apparently *that* counts as swearing too ?

 

So anyway, short version is I'm pig fucking sick

Defensively he was good but he completed 21 out of 36 passes, thought he was very sloppy in possession 

[Numbers]

Seems like Wilson expended all his energy playing to get picked for the world cup because hes been fucking dire ever since.

[Wullie]

Tbf we did strengthen in forward areas with a very big signing in January, it's just unfortunate that he was cup tied.

[Kimbo]

Basically the sort of game I expected tbh. We have a creativity issue that can only be resolved in the transfer market, and I doubt Gordon is going to be a solution.

He's been widely regarded as the best centre defensive mid in the world for about half a decade man

Agree with all of that apart from ASM

 

Not what we need we’re going, nowhere near

I’m talking about media and pundits, lazy of them if that’s the case, the guy has been one of the best midfielders in world football the last ten years

 I think a modest bit of disappointment probably isn’t throw-yourself-in-the-sea-worthy.

?

 

Thought he looked like the most likely out of our starting front 3 to do something positive. Unlucky not to score at 0-0. Wilson and Almirón in comparison were feeble imo.
