Newcastle United 4-0 Leicester City (14/12/24)

[andycap]

Bruno has been canny couple of rash challenges aside he's been bright. 

[Beren]

Good half

[Roha]

Good first half - started off in usual fashion but managed to get control. Still struggling with getting goals though.

[BermyToon]

We should be 3-0 up. Hopefully the same intensity continues in the second half.

[Kid Icarus]

Haven't seen a second of this yet. It seems a lot of other people haven't either

We should be completely out of sight by now, yet now we have Leicester growing into the game.

I thought he was a poor choice for captain when it was announced. Too much of a hot head but then I am not privy to the dressing room dynamics.

I was sceptical too. But I guess mostly because Lascelles and Tripps were such great captains.

Sounds familiar.

[McDog]

Ran circles around that lot but just one goal to show for it. Should have been three.

[Rich]

Murphy with one of the funniest celebrations I've ever seen there mind. Absolute dog dirt (again), scores, gives it the big 'un.

[Big Geordie]

Good half although our finishing is letting us down - not for the first time this season.

[Teasy]

We should obviously be at least 3 up here and the fact we aren't is hardly Bruno's fault.  it's far too many missed chances.  I do agree Bruno isn't right for captain though.

[r0cafella]

We played some really good football in the first half, really good to see. Let's just get a couple of more and bring home the 3 points. 

[M1tche]

Decent half, cut out the few sloppy moments, and we should put a few more past these.

Hall has been pretty good today.

Yes, good defensively and also linking up play with Gordon. Offers much more going forward than Burn at LB.

[kingxlnc]

Sandro been great

Yes, he and Gordon looked good together on attack.

[Lush Vlad]

Played really well by and large. Passing is a lot crisper, seem to be attacking with some intent and speed, moving them about all over the pitch.

 

But it’s still only 1-0, they came back into it a bit, we’re seeing some brainless stuff from some of our players. 
 

It should be more than 1 and all. They look awful and have their midfield missing. We’ve had some great chances and openings. But pretty wasteful as per usual.

Reading this back it sounds like our usual then? Tons of chances missed, then the slightly lesser seen, still put one away.

HT. Chance for TBG to catch up... 😄

only really one chance missed which was Isak through one on one with the keeper (again). 

[andycap]

Apart from a few missed efforts Murphy hasn't been too bad. Plus cracking finish for our goal. 

[LiquidAK]

What I'm probably most encouraged by is how up for it the players look against a weaker side. Snapping into everything. What I want to see every game tbh, not letting teams breathe

Newcastle missed two clear cut chances. Murphy goal was a really good finish tbf although one of the missed chances was his also.
