Newcastle United 3-3 Liverpool - 4/12/24

[SAK]

Heartened by the comeback and the overall performance but sucks we’re so close to being a really top team, just some missing pieces which we’re not allowed to have. So frustrating.

[cubaricho]

That was the most fun I’ve had watching us play in a long while. Even at 2-3 I was resigned to a loss but still felt entertained and was taking a lot of positives and enjoyed watching us play. 
 

Please for the love of god, bring back the press full time again Eddie.

When it comes to today’s starting XI if we had a class RW and could replace Big Joe with someone who has more class on the ball, we’re cooking. 

[Groundhog63]

I just think we need to concentrate on not giving the ball away, unnecessarily and we'll be fine. We'll do Brentford then see what happens in the Semi draw. 

Next two league games? 6 points if we play like tonight. 

[Myleftboot]

Need to get the consistency back.

I don’t think that this game adds anything to any of that debate.  Players self-motivate for games like this.  The Leicester and Ipswich matches will do more to tell us if a corner is turned.  

 

This will be not the first nufc team to be like this.

[Big Geordie]

Some  finish by Schar for the equalizer, mind. Brilliant.

Salah is insane like, he was like an assassin or something. Anonymous until it was time to do something 

Messiesque tonight. Genuinely 3 world Class moments from him got Liverpool a point. They’d have had nothing without him. 

[Doctor Zaius]

 

Cannot believe he's blown there man. Did Isak take 5 seconds to line up that fee kick like? Incompetent cunts man.

I normally cringe when I see Murphy on the team sheet but I thought he did more than ok.  That lob over the keeper should have hit the net like.

Problem is there needs to be something to press. It works great against the bigger teams who want to go toe-to-toe, because we can force a lot of turnovers. Other teams are happy to dig in, keep narrow and wait for us to overplay or hassle our midfield. And it works, because we’re absolutely shite at breaking teams down.

 

It’s a huge conundrum for Howe to solve and IMO it’ll decide whether he stays here beyond the end of the season.

I'll be happy for you however the game goes

 

Motherfucker we both know whats gonna happrn.

[duo]

Why can't we play like this more often - cannot fault the performance. Only reason they were in the game was because of Salah - he's just World Class.

[Beren]

Underrated storyline: did anyone see all those Nick Pope catches and that dinked kick which only fucking went to a player playing wearing black and white?!

So yeah, for months myself and @Mike were planning to go over for this game.

 

Mike got cold feet because he decided Liverpool would hump us.

 

I went to the Brighton game instead, while Mike isn't coming over for a game this season.

 

The big cunt.

 

Thanks for the invite mate.

Btw this needs to stop. Fragile cunts. 

Football is pretty much the only place i get emotional and irrational. Im either optimistic or pessimistic as hell. Deal with it

He was unlucky, IMO - given he was running at full tilt and with the keeper closing him down too.

I thought he should have pushed the ball wide for that one on one and go for the penalty, just doesn't have the composure...

Thought he should of ploughed into the keeper and got the cunt sent off.

Not entirely true, if it was then good teams wouldn’t smash poorer teams so much. Has an element of truth of course.

I need a day off work after that.

Can’t believe the commentator said the first half wasn’t memorable…It was for us, we were class.

Eh?  I would have thought a neutral would've been reasonably entertained by that.  We had a deserved lead over a team who are top of everything, and there wasn't anything smash-and-grab about it.

 

This is why I tune the tiresome cunts out.  Can't we just get Barry Davies back on, with the occasional comment by someone reasonably well informed?

[kingxlnc]

I missed the start, was anything done for Keegan? Was he there?
