The only reason Isak has gone down is the foul, doesn't take a lot to knock anybody off balance when they're on one leg mid-strike and Isak's not diving mid-strike.

 

 

Exactly. Wasn't obvious at full speed first time round, but you could see how Isak's momentum got totally unbalanced by that clip to the leg.

Just noticed it's Maddison who lets Joelinton drift past him before that lush through ball.

Seen a wet paper towel with more strength and vigour than “Madders” had in that half arsed challenge. 
 

Bless him, he genuinely tried to properly do Bruno as well with a scissor tackle but didn’t succeed.

Went from barely missing out on CL a few times with Leicester to miss out on CL even more with Spurs.

I really hope we can improve on our performances before the results catch up with them.

Everyone we’ve played so far has moved the ball noticeably better than us. 
I don’t expect tikka takka (or want it) but being able to play 7 or 8 consecutive passes or at least cross the half way line now and again to relieve some pressure would do wonders for my nerves.

We’re pure winging atm.

Not showing the Isak penalty incident on MOTD, classic

I thought at the time it was a reckless challenge. I’m tired of commentators saying that because they got the ball, it’s ok. No, you can still perform a reckless challenge and get the ball. They did another challenge like that later on outside of the box though.

Yep, the whole 'he got the ball first' hasn't been the rule for donkeys years.  They'll be telling us that bundling the goalkeeper into the net with the ball is alright if it was a fair charge

Does John Anderson not do the commentary any longer?

 

Ando still co-comms on Radio Newcastle.

Went through Isak's ankle before clipping the ball anyway, and Radu's face looked guilty as fuck.

 

There's no debate wether it's a penalty, it was a stonewall penalty, but the VAR team need to flip a coin to decide wether or not it was a clear and obvious error, or just an error, as for some reason that completely vague, subjective difference is important.

Lovely to see Maddison bullied for both goals, complete farce he didn't get booked for dissent at the end of the first half though.

Including today

 

(bizarrely thought Pope did well for their goal)

Think motd commentary was a bit biased. We weren't great by any means, but not quite as crap as they made out. 

[Kid Icarus]

Funny thing about Maddison from my very specific POV is that he looks exactly like my 6 year old niece. Probably the same amount of strength as well.
