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...
OpenC Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I was thinking about doing a poll before the game to guess how many people would post 'ASM comes on and we win that' 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...
Jonas Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Unbeaten in the San Siro. Three games no losses. That's gotta be rare. 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...

Think the muggyness drained our lads. That challenge right near the end, and then to keep it in play was world class.

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.

Got his massive swad on a few crucial headed clearances. Shanked the ball out of play a few times when making a straightforward progressive pass. Suppose we can’t have everything.

midds Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Huge point that. If we're going to qualify then Milan are the direct rival for 2nd place and taking a point away from home puts us in the box seat for that. Still to play them at SJP and I think it'll be a very different match over here and I think we'll beat them in November tbh. Obviously hung on for long periods but that's what you've got to do at times, just dig in and grind out points. Pope was tested but I'd have fancied most of this board to make the saves he did tonight, he had quite a few to make but they were all pretty routine and comfortable, no worldie saves needed. Each game in this group is going to be an education and the players will grow and adapt as we get more and more used to the demands these games make. Solid start, clean sheet, point on the board and (crosses fingers) no injuries or suspensions. We can now look forward to PSG and rattling those fuckers up here very soon. It's a good night, enjoy it gentlemen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Tell you what mind. I was already convincved we'd drop back in the league because of CL football and have been an advocate of the 94/95 similarity but I'm totally convinced about that now. Folk are going to have to come to terms with that and accept its goes with the territory - success/club at this point in its growth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
