SAK Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 1 minute ago, Yorkie said: For a competition winning local lad in the side just for the sake of it, BDB put in a magnificent shift in that second half. Won basically everything that came at him. Can’t argue with his defensive efforts it’s his passing in attacking situations most moan about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just now, KingArthur said: Isak out wide doesn't really work here. He couldn't defend at all. Thank god their crosses were awful. We really need to sort out the attacking side of the game. It's hit and hope now. Wingers very wide and no support for the CF. His best play has been when he picks the ball up from deep and runs at the defence. He looked so isolated tonight in the number 9 position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Results like this will be key in seeing who progresses into the knockouts or even the EL. Dropping points at home in a group like this is probably something you can't afford to do more than once and this lot have Mbappe and co to come yet.

number37 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Well I'm off out for a few beers because we've just kept a clean sheet at the San Siro in the Champions League. I hope others can do the same wherever you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhere Man Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Good game well deserved point. But we are struggling to hold the ball this season because of awful passing, need to improve and be more clinical. Again forwards not getting the service. Got to be happy with that though.

nufcjb Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Happy with the point but our attack.is woeful at the minute. Something is not clicking. Maybe big and lil Joe missing but it has never looked this leggy moving forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag_in_NZ Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Pleased as! First game back and a hard fought point, could've snatched it at the death Overall : Newcastle Points in in Milan 3 - Mackems in Milan 0 - won't be too long before we've played more games in an Italian city than they have in Europe Edited September 19, 2023 by Mag_in_NZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 To put some perspective on it, every team in our group will be seeing their home game against us as their best chance to get 3 points. Clean sheet away to last seasons CL semi finalists is massive no matter how it came about. My biggest concerns from this is that our players seems a bit lost in attack, and it looks like it's starting to affect them. On three occasions I noticed our attacking players arguing with each other out of frustration when an attack broke down. Can't decide my motm between Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman & Bruno. Oh, and I'd love to see our new fullbacks in action soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Some of you are going on like we are expected to win the whole thing. Relegation certainties to the San Siro in two years man, and these players got us there. I hope the people slagging off the players are told that they need a filling at their next dental check up.

KaKa Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just now, MrRaspberryJam said: He didn’t place it. Give the lad some slack imo. He didn’t have the best of games but he didn’t stop running all game, he - and many others - were dead on their feet at the end and he’s tried to welly it to snatch us the win. He gave his all I'll give him that. Needs to calm down and trust himself more. He's better than he shows a lot of times because he lacks composure. The only thing that was really unacceptable was him throwing himself to the floor looking for fouls. Once just outside our box that could have cost us and once in their box with a great chance to shoot at goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Very happy with that to be honest, we were fighting relegation not so long ago and now we've gone and taken a point at San Siro with most of the players from that team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Although slightly lethargic, we need to remember, these were semi finalists only last season, playing at home unbeaten in 10 at home. We had a sneaky chance to nick it, we came away with a nice 0-0. They should be the ones upset that they didn't take their chances. Proud of Howe and the lads, it just wasn't the entertainment everyone imagined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One moment of genius on the break I guess. We got roasted down that side as soon as Anderson came on, despite a couple of good interceptions when he was out of positions I don’t like him in the middle 3 against anyone good.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Cracking result but I’m concerned how bad we look going forward. We were absolutely horrific on the ball today in attack, passing was shocking, movement was lethargic and no coherency in our press. It looked like we had played a full season already just in terms of conditioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 This was our CL baptism of fire and at the end of the day gotta be happy that we escaped with a point. The gameplan went south but ultimately we showed a ton of composure in the face of pressure. Hopefully we’ve got the jitters out of the way and will be more ready to compete in the coming fixtures.

I knew it was going to be like this in the new season, but I'm actually shocked at the extent of it. I think it's going to be a season with a lot of ups and downs at points, and the fan base will make it even more difficult for the players. Going to be a massive challenge for the players.
