Newcastle United 4-1 Chelsea (25/11/23) | Reaction: pg. 27 | Goal-posts: OP


Recommended Posts

Quality, confident and assured win against a team that was apparently resurgent. Miley, Bruno, Miggy and Gordon the pick of the players. Lascelles, even though his passing was utterly shocking and put us in some hot bother at times, was solid defensively imo.

 

Chelsea though where really poor in that second half, they where so petulant and ill disciplined, making so many unforced errors. Can tell they have a really young squad full of individuals who believe their own hype.

big 3 points vs a direct rival. lets hope them underperforming goes on bit longer.

 

at 1-1 I thought oh fuck another game where we lead and throw it away but 2nd half we were wonderful.

 

crazy schedule, PSG and United next 2 games, will be honest I would happily accept a loss vs PSG if a win is guaranteed vs United. CL group imo is pretty much fucked for us, but I do think we can maybe finish ahead of Spurs, Vill, Brighton, United in the league with a bit of luck and some good January transfers. getting back to CL would be huge both sporting wise and financially too has to be the priority above anything else.

 

 

*Man utd. We are united

Great result, though it has to be said - Chelsea are absolutely turd.  They’ve bought so badly.  Couldn’t happen to a more deserving shower of cunts. 


 

 

 

Yeah. They looked like they had never worked on how to deal with being a man down.

An Eddie and Bruno masterclass. Every starter put in a great shift. Big Jow and Jamaal made up for lapses in the first half with a couple of well take goals, Rapt for them. 

 

Injury always opens opportunity and we have found a couple of stars in Tino and Miley.

So happy with that,  very satisfying. Nothing I love more than beating this lot and Man United.

 

At 1-1 and with Joelinton missing an open goal, it had a bad feeling about it. Easy to forget that despite the injury crisis, when we have a coherent team out we're really fucking good. We won that in 2nd gear as well, Chelsea are absolute bums and didn't even deserve their goal.

 

Pope: 6

Trippier: 7.5

Lascelles: 7

Schär: 7.5

Livramento: 7.5

Joelinton: 7.5

Bruno: 8.5

Miley: 8

Gordon: 8.5

Isak: 8

Almiron: 7

I wonder how long it would take for Chelsea to actually go back to being regular Chelsea again?  How many mid table seasons are required to shed the lucrative sponsors and millions of plastics from around the globe.  Maybe they’ve had so much success over the previous 15 years that’s never going to happen …

Incredible result under the circumstances. I'm dreading resuming 3 games a week. Would be happy to write off CL now tbh, but we don't even have a second string available.

When did we as a fanbase become so wet? Honestly. It’s the Champions’ League.

Great win. Probably being reactionary but I’ve got serious doubts over Pope this season. Think he should have at least dived for Sterling’s goal and then nearly gave one away in the first half. If we’re moving to a more possession based style, he’s just not the keeper for it. 
 

Thought Miley was brilliant today. Kid has so much composure for a 17 year old and constantly showing and asking for ball. Hell of a spot for that Isak pass.

You know you’re not playing?  Let the super fit athletes who are worry about that :)

Pretty embarrassing result for Chelsea. Enormous credit to Howe for an exceptional result but Poch should really be starting to answer some questions about how he hasn’t fashioned a side out of the hundreds of players he has 

 

True, but they have literally just been thrown together, reminds me of Forest last season. 

 

They don't seem to have a core of original players or players that have played together for a number of years.

 

Their new owner literally thought he was on FM just searching wonderkids.

I'm OK with Pope. You have to remember this switch to having your GK comfortable on the ball is 'new'. There aren't that many out there. Those that are good with their feet aren't top/elite level when it comes to what you'd expect from a traditional GK. 

 

From the list of GKs who are comfortable with the ball at their feet, you wouldn't take many. 

 

Jason Steele

Sanchez

Raya

Ramsdale

Pickford

Ederson

Alisson

ter Stergen

Neuer
