So could thrash Man United, Chelsea, PSG, Sheffield United, the mackems, Villa, a couple against the odds comebacks, beat Arsenal and Man City. Didn't win some other games though Edited April 2 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it depends on the ref watching on VAR, the inconsistency is infuriating to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Feel more demoralised after that game then any others. Think because we are even further down to bare bones, and we know Isak etc will get injured soon, and seeing Willock be way off and Dummett actually getting minutes, means top 7 let’s be honest is just not on. Going to be a bit of drag to end of season, but hopefully there’s green shoots for next season with Hall/Anderson getting good minutes, and maybe some appearances for Alex Murphy. Would even say Harrison is worth giving minutes if that’s what Willock is going to offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Struggle to put into words how much a loathe playing against Everton. Players were spent after the first half. They had nothing to give after Everton equalised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Can't help but laugh, bring on the old bloke because he's seen it/done it all before so surely he'll see it out right? Nope, he just goes and absolutely throws away two points. Wasn't that long ago he didn't look out of place in our back four . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 You can get away with that penalty if it was a shirt pull IMO, but literal headlock, is a slam dunk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a complete contrast to any of our recent performances where we've been gifting teams like Everton countless chances to score. We created chances, killed counter attacks before they began, battered them in duels and won second balls. We've not controlled a game as well as that for a while now.

midds Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Special mention for Dan Burn tonight btw, I thought he was brilliant tonight. He was honking for a few months and got pelters for it at the time but I thought he was exceptional tonight, can't remember a single mistake and got us off the hook a few times too. He was superb and it's right he gets a bit of praise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yiman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Thought Anderson looked like a disruptor in midfield, obviously the legs went but a different midfielder with agression and with more games could bring more balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Disappointing, should have won that. Second half we were quite poor though. They pushed higher up and as usual we struggled to get out a lot against a press, though we made some chances on the counter. Always felt like one of the old Ashley guard was going to gift them a soft goal though. Thought Burn was was solid at CB, no-one else really stood out apart from Isak. Barnes did some nice bits first half. Bruno a bit quiet for the most part. Longstaff was poor again unfortunately. Guy needs a break from the first team. Anderson lively but still takes too many touches all the time. Too many dilly dalliers in the team at times and not enough quicky quicky passy passy. Particularly under pressure. Thought Newcastle United Fan Lewis Hall did pretty well though. Which was nice. Hope he's starting a lot more. That very static back four with bruno deep and the other 2 CMs standing miles in front and wide from him way of playing out needs to be changed. Bruno never has anyone near him to link with.

Honestly if Dummett doesn't do something mind-bogglingly stupid, it's an ugly but pretty comfortable and deserved 1-0 win. I wasn't expecting fireworks after Saturday; we are literally on our last legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Wasn't able to watch the game, but it sounds like our best performance in a good while, we controlled the game, and should have put the game to bed if we'd taken our chances, and the our 5th choice left-back cost us the 3 points by doing something really stupid? That about right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made at least two really smart fouls to prevent counter attacks before they got going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I could understand if Dummett got done for pace, but it's a pretty daft penalty to give away. Fwiw Burn had his shirt nearly pulled off 10 minutes earlier but without Gordon on the pitch we're far too naive about putting pressure on the referee.

andycap Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 We played well first half, not as good in the second but created enough to win comfortably. Dummett coming on instead of Murphy to see it out bothers me. aswell as naming two keepers on the bench alfie harrison should of been giving the space on the bench instead.

How many minutes of VAR football has he played? That would have never been a penalty in a million years before VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
