Vaj Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Thought we were great in spells and poor in spells again. Similar to the weekend but a bit better. Really need a centre back of quality this week to give us a boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Such a strange game. Just kept thinking, what happened to 'intensity is our identity'? Lovely scenes at the end mind, especially considering it's 'only' the second round of the cup. Nice to see even at this stage it matters to the team, and the fans love it.

They've been cherry picked for a very specific reason. They want Newcastle fans to rage in the comments. Don't fall for it You shouldn't have polluted our forums with that shit tbh. Even if it was well intended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Grinding out results while not playing well is a good trait, but no doubt we need to improve. Hopefully we kick on from the last twenty mimutes and the momentum of the shootout win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Two wins and a draw from three games, two away from home, and we've yet to put together more than 20 minutes of good play. I *think* that bodes very well for us but shit it's hard to watch in the meantime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggled even getting a point when we played shit last season. Kind of what I was trying to say during the match thread but you put it better. We can't play much worse and we still haven't lost, clinging to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swear I saw him win the ball that was in control of an opposing player a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 We won, I’m happy about that. We just play one way and it’s far too predictable now. Fortunate to play against 3 very poor attacks so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Eddie needs to iron out some bits, and figure out our starting lineup. Big plus tonight was Barnes, who I thought played well on both sides. Really liked how well he was linking with Tino down the right. Actually thought he looked better on the right than Gordon did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 There has been a bit of a trend these last few games: First 20 = good Middle 30 = bad Last 20 = good Don't know if its by designed and we're trying to manage games, and it's just haven't got that skill yet but it's noticeable.

Keggy_Keagal Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The only stat that matters is the score (after pens). Tonali passed the eye test. Looked sharper than I thought he would after that lay off. Understandable he faded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Not the greatest performance again, but I'm not judging our season until we get all our first choice players on the field together. Not that that's likely, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bally21 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Well we've been dog shit for large portions of 3 games so far, but got 4 points out of 6 and through to next round in cup. Loads to improve on though, a few of the lads look miles off it. Onwards and upwards. HWTL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Was thinking about it during the pen shootout and the more I thought about how we'd played, the body language and some of the reactions afterwards... I think there a few players feeling unsettled, maybe a bit despondent and I wonder whether it's down to things like Eddie being linked with England, Gordon being linked to Liverpool, Isak linked to Arsenal, Bruno linked to City and rumours of Tripps wanting out. I'd like to think they're all professional enough, but something just seems a bit 'off' and I can't put my finger on it. The togetherness, the drive to fight for each other in every move, it seems to be missing or at least less intense. Hope I'm wrong. On the upside, Tonali looked ace!
