Kid Icarus Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) 'Good against PSG at home' like that's not both a massive understatement and not an all-time event in Newcastle's history regardless Edited December 14, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One had a KSA shirt on, and we're constantly on their phones and moving out of seats all the game. Not enough How these cunts getting tickets? Sound like the same fuckers at the end of the match (who looked quite happy despite the result) trying to get Rio Ferdinands attention in a positive way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good against Milan first half. The rest we didnt play well. We were just as good as PSG away first half and put in an outstanding backs-to-the-wall performance second half, which was the right thing to do in the context of the group and the available personnel. No way does that go into the "didn't play well" bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still a battering, that must be allowed to say. That game was all about effort and teamwork, but it wasnt a good game in terms of play.

If so I can't say I agree whatsoever. Neither did the pundits at half time who said we'd been the better side. If we dig out the stats I think they'd back that up. Stats-aside we were tidy on the ball and measured off it. We held on second half when protecting a lead and tiring, which is important context.

PSG away we were the better team first half, should have been 2 up, second half it was backs to the wall defending and an incredible performance from Pope. They threatened, obviously, but we played well. Edited December 14, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't agree with the original comment that PSG didn't threaten in the away game, but you followed up saying we didn't play well that game. We did. ^ We were at least as good as PSG up until Isak's goal. Looked comfortable for the rest of the half too. Unsurprisingly we went more pragmatic after that. PSG didn't batter us, they tried and failed to score a goal for three quarters of the match. If we'd conceded an equaliser 2 minutes after Isak's goal then the above would have looked completely different.

Agree to disagree as suspect we're both getting bored with this, but the narrative of that game is just wrong imo. We hung on second half and they had loads of shots. Before that we did play well, after that we defended magnificently. Edited December 14, 2023 by Interpolic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 We were a hair's breath from getting to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a starting lineup containing three Rafa signings, two Bruce signings, one Carver signing, and a child. We can point to moments we should have done better or moments we've been cheated, but we've massively overachieved. Eddie will learn from this, we'll get more signings, and we'll come back stronger.

Ronson333 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Last 25 mins was like the old keegan games when I was growing up. One thing I’ll always take away from that approach, we don’t give a shit about the opposition and we take them on. Rather my team at least try rather than 10 men behind the ball. Proud of the team and the club, we’ll get it right soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan needed to score more than we did at that point, yet we were playing like we were losing and needed an equaliser. We could have won if we'd had a bit more nouse. Not criticism really btw I'm proud of the team and love Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
