Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle United (19/12/23) Chelsea win 4-2 on penalties


Recommended Posts

Jesus, could we have lost to a less deserving team of cunts? Dirty throughout (presumably because they knew there was no VAR), though the ref rarely pulled them up on anything anyway. Should be punished for not controlling their fans, though any monetary penalty is pretty pointless. Tripps... ohhhh Tripps... three goals given away recently from silly mistakes, leading to bad results, doubt is starting to creep in over whether he's on that slippery slope of being past it, to think that only takes a couple of games for the confidence to be knocked this badly. I just don't know what else to say about tonight, we should have won against that shower of shit, but somehow managed to lose and lose miserably.

 

... even the forum's struggling to take it in and is falling over!

Wow imagine yourself in Trippier's shoes...Poor bastard. Damn just damn... Hopefully he will not end up like Karius....

Some time ago it was typical for Newcastle to lose like that... so much suffering and yet at least I know that we can recover. Hoping for best - this team is still working progress.

You just fucking know West Ham will beat Liverpool now.

And Chelsea will get Boro in the semi.

 

I honestly think NUFC are cursed to never win anything ever again, at least not in my lifetime.

Aye cruel to concede with 2 mins injury time left, howe tried to rest trippier but he came on as kraft presumably had a knock?

 

Penalties had a feeling of inevitably about them.

 

Just praying that kraft, botman and Gordon are OK.

Really, really poor from Howe (said it when we were winning also).

 

So disappointing.

 

Going into a game where you're knackered, they're not, the aim has to be to bring them down to your energy level - not increase the disparity by chasing shadows with eleven barely fit players. Absolute mad tactics.

 

 

 

 


Agree with this - Miggy was spent after 55 mins yet continued to play him

 

The Ritchie sub is unforgivable - might aswell play with 10 men

At the end of the day I'd still take this over the Ashley years. Yes it's really disappointing compared to last season but how do you account for all these injuries? Literally every game someone is getting injured. Today it looks like Gordon has been done by a red card tackle that wasn't punished.

Why is Hall not coming on before Ritchie FFS, the guy can't run. About 3 crosses that should have been closed down before the goal that he got nowhere near closing down. 

 

However Tripps has made so many costly errors recently. 

 

Hurts so much more that we potentially picked up 3 more injuries tonight, players all physically and mentally fucked and we got nothing for it.

Feel so bad for Trips, he should have been nowhere near the pens.

 

That's not me slating him like some absolute idiots, it's me being able to see he's in a bad place after a few howlers.  His mentality is shot right now. 

 

Fuck man.

 

 

Yep, he should have been nowhere near the pitch to be honest. It was a good chance to give him a proper weeks rest mentally and physically but instead he’s gonna be in bits now. As I said a page or two back his strength is attacking and we were never doing that tonight, he’s been off recently defending and we had our backs to the wall. Should never have come on.

Same problem though each time? Until the injury list starts to less look like first XI we are gonna have this keep happening.

 

True but we've been pretty crap away from home all season aside from 2 games and some of those games were before the injuries.

It's been the same pattern all season.

 

We get an early goal, then we sit back all game until they equalise/win late on.

 

It's happened so many times.

 

I mean it can't be helped with our injuries and so many players being tired but even so

Absolutely shite when 1 up yet again and again we’ve lost. Horrendous game management again. I’m not having the fatigue excuse either when we don’t use the bench. Hall is a better option on the wing than Ritchie no matter what. He’s got no legs anymore and offers absolutely fuck all.

I know it’s all relative, but stick even half of these players in the matchday squad and we win that comfortably: Pope, Schar, Targett, Willock, Joelinton, Isak, Barnes, Messi, Anderson, Tonali, Gordon (fully fit).

I have no problem with Trippier or Ritchie taking pens. Ritchie's been the clubs penalty taker before & his pen was decent. Trips is technically excellent, a team leader & has taken them in penalty shootouts before.

 

Sometimes players miss penalties. Shame theirs were all really good.

It's a mistake, he's hardly done it deliberately [emoji38]

No obviously not but it was a ridiculous thing to do and is now added to a list of fuck ups over recent weeks that have cost us. No point in being in denial about it and brushing it off as a daft mistake he's clearly in shocking form and needs a spell out the team.
