Sheffield United 0-8 Newcastle United (24/09/23)

[Lush Vlad]

Not a bad half that!   VAR feel sorry for them or something? Stonewall pen on Gordon. Barnes getting injured has been a blessing in disguise. Wilson should have a couple. Been wasteful by his standards.

[54]

Well, that was as comfortable as you could ask for, they had a couple of counters in the first 15 but other then that have been pathetic.  

 

Bruno has been back to his best, and to be honest the entire midfield has dominated the game, though so they should with how much time and space they're allowing us  

[Jill]

I've enjoyed that half. Gordon looks better and better, some much improved set pieces and well taken goals. 

[joeyt]

Don't know many of their subs but you'd imagine they're going to bring on at least two to shore up their midfield

Imagine not being convinced by Gordon yet. 

Yup just needed time to get up to Howe fitness not Everton fitness 

[Newcastle Fan]

This felt even easier than that Tottenham first half, they have no one in midfield and we should've been 5 or 6 ahead by now, we aren't playing that good and keep missing passes and chances  and somehow they keep giving us more.

Gordon's class

 

Great performance, especially having come on unexpectedly.

[SAK]

Hopefully we score a couple more and get Livramento and Hall on.

[Ikon]

Much better today. Our passing and movement is more progressive and and we are finding plays through the channels. Sheffield shocking mind. 

[Lush Vlad]

Are they playing without a midfield, BTW? 

[Boey_Jarton]

Because of course the ref would have stopped them from taking a corner at the stroke of half time 

[nortoon]

Just me raging at the ref even though we are 3-0 up? So many stupid calls, and i think that's the clearest penalty I've seen on Gordon.

[Mattoon]

We've absolutely destroyed these, I think the 3-0 flatters them somewhat. I hope the second half doesn't fizzle out and we give them a good go.

[Conjo]

Can we play Sheffield United after every champions league game?

[Superior Acuña]

Wilson will be raging

[toon25]

If only we had Gordon's threat on the right.

 

Almiron been incredibly quiet so far

[Kid Icarus]

We've had worse halves

Fucking ref not letting us take the corner

Twice in a week this. 

[LionOfGosforth]

Only concern here would be injuries now. These are dorty buggers.

[Beren]

Gordon is the spark of this team. Which is great and bad.

 

Would love to see more off the ball movement without him. Can't complain though. Great half/result on balance.

[Ikon]

Wilson needs to find his boots

I haven't seen Sheffield United before and I wasn't expecting them to be this bad. We're getting so much space.

 

It's easy to miss with us playing such hard opening fixtures but half the league is absolute dog shit.

Getting killed every time by someone wandering in central. That Souza has been abysmal.

[HaydnNUFC]

Class half, they've been lifting. Should 0-5, Wilson has to be scoring those 2 chances he had.

 

Get the tall Swedish man on to run riot.

Getting the early goal helped, meant they had to come out and play, that's left plenty of space behind for us to hit.
