Newcastle United 1-0 Southampton (17/08/24)


Recommended Posts

I thought Soton were canny tbh. Decent patterns of play and Walkers-Peters always causes us problems. First time I’ve seen Smallbone live and he looked decent

 

Great 3 points. Pawson, get to fuck, more than just the red card, generally absolutely abysmal.

They played themselves into a trouble a couple of times I thought, if we were at our best we’d have murdered them. Also criminal that they didn’t really threaten us much despite our man disadvantage and their possession. Their lack of quality will see them go down imo.

Such a stark difference from @Alan Pardew man [emoji38]

Hardly my fault you lot couldn’t get excited for our magnificent wins. Remember when we won 5 in a row in October-November 2014? Good times lads. Leicester, Liverpool, Tottenham, WBA and QPR all beaten with us conceding just 2 goals. What a run lads.
And that’s excluding the cup win against city away. So actually 6. Pelegrínni.. fucking old cunt. 
 

See ya later.

We didn’t get going at all today and looked second best before Schar went off.

 

I thought we defended well with 10 men but it helped that Southampton didn’t have much variation to their attack, the worry was that we could not retain possession for any period of play to take pressure off ourselves, we were booting it down field and inviting wave after wave of attack which a better team would have punished us for.

 

Still, 3 points from a tricky start so on to the next one.

I loved that like. We were shit at the start but the red card turned it into an old fashioned siege, and what should've been a routine 3 points into proper fist pumping stuff. Appreciated the goal and save much more than in other recent wins. Joelinton <3

 

Not seen red back. My initial reaction (from the Leazes) was anger at Schar for being so stupid to give him that opportunity, but maybe I was being harsh.

 

(Did I see @Sifu walking up the stairs in the Leazes?)

 

 

 

I was indeed in the Leazes, L4?

Schär should have known better; as should Bruno, giving away a FK almost on the edge of our box. Too many emotions bubbling up there.

Ref was appalling!

 

Fabulous team effort defending, onwards and upwards....

Observations from the match but only seen it in real time. 

 

Bruno is not captain material. Burn took on that role when it really mattered like shouting at the ref when he made fucking stupid decisions. 

 

Red card looked very harsh. No contact and Diaz dived.

 

Gordon is playing within himself. The East Stand was really missed off with him today for what it's worth. Pulled out of loads of 50/50. Hopefully he's fully focused against once the window closes.

 

Ref was shit from the first minute

Maybe not in the vocal arguing with people sense, but his effort and determination to win for me is where he shines.

 

He sets the standard and the run to the last minute attitude.

 

We have a few captain worthy players iyam:thup:

despite having our backs to the walls, not particularly playing well, and creating little, i still really enjoyed the game today.

I thought that FK was a calculated gamble by Bruno as they had no established FK specialists and setting up the FK took up valuable time. He wouldn’t have done it if Ward-Prowse was still there.

I mean he did get sent off against them when they had Ward Prowse in the cup semi a few years ago for a daft challenge on the edge of the box

He has matured and wisened up massively since then. Remember how many yellows he was picking up in the beginning and how he went on a card free streak last season?

Soton had some good build up play, but had absolutely no quality in the final third.

 

They'll struggle.

Some of their passing in tight spaces was class, really impressive!

The lad that came on for them on the left was all fart and no shit and unfortunately, Armstrong is in the same pool as Dwight Gayle and Patrick Bamford - class in the championship, not quite good enough for the PL.  

I can see them picking up a good few points though.

Soton manager very pleased with the smell of his own farts for someone who lost to a side with 10 men. Bit of Pards about him. Reckon he'll be halfway as grey as Pards by May.
