Newcastle United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur (01/09/24) | Reaction: pg 48 | Goal posts: OP

[Ellis H]

Johnson, Odobert and Porro had about 1xg between them which says it all. Can barely remember a shot they had.
 

Isak had 1xg on his own for the goal.

One month closer to Botman being back and Schar back after the break - that will be huge.

Botman is class obvs but Schar’s importance to us is so underrated. He allows us to push up, spread wide because of his shitpingers, and of course he has the ability to go on a maze up himself.

Typical agenda driven bollocks that, he was good.

I like Ange’s willingness to play the Odobert boy.  But he wasn’t good at all imo. 
 

Neither was Kulu and Son.

Didn’t realise it was a foul on Isak by Dragosin on that break. Should be a pen shouldn’t it, if he slides into Isak’s standing leg first?

Odobert was shocking throughout, got bullied.

Thought Longstaff had a good game today tbh.

I'll be honest I thought it looked a good tackle at the time. It looked like he slid in and knicked it out for a corner first time around. I never got a chance to see it much again as play continued and it barely got a mention for the rest of the game by comms and Sky in general

 

Would be nice to see a few angles of it but it's not that important as we won anyway

Absolutely, hard to understand how VAR let's that go. Isak is about to shoot and Dragusin takes away his standing leg.

I thought it was a great challenge from the Leazes but I’m looking forward to seeing it later on in the highlights. If it wasn’t a good tackle it’s baffling why it wasn’t reviewed

He goes through Isak's left leg, was a shocking decision IMO.

[Pata]

And it's one of those where the on-field decision shouldn't matter at all as the ref can't keep up with Isak and Dragusin is blocking his view with his body in any case. VAR is shambles.

We won the game but lost the all important stats duel ?

 

So today’s emotion should be sad, yes ?

Why is it when there's a random thing that happens that stops or delays the game, it's never to our fucking benefit? We looked class til the lino tweaked his quad and it robbed us of our momentum.

 

Same as when that ugly greasy little fuck chained himself to the post at Goodison, it absolutely killed us.

 

You can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that if we're ever under massive pressure and last-gasp defending that there won't ever be a dog run onto the pitch or some geezer crash landing on a paraglider in the penalty area.

Isaks goal must be like 0.99xG and the own goal is 0.00xG for them

The own goal was probably their best xG chance but Pope did well on the second effort after creating the whole mess.

If I'm honest. I think that would have been soft as fuck.

 

Isak should have squared it.

[mattypnufc]

Soft? He fucking swipes his standing leg 😂

[Disco]

Ref was on one all second half. Thought he was gonna bullet home a header for them at one point.
