Hence why we still had all the best chances and goal disallowed in that first half whilst Villa offered very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 (edited) Every Villa fan using the Howe out of context quote about it "seeming harsh" as a proof that it wasn't a red. Conveniently leaving out the part where he says "I only saw it live". I also didn't think there was any foul play going on until I saw the replay.

Based on that spell after we scored. That spell where they had begun to develop their press and we had spells of retreating possession. We will never know if they'd have beaten us 11 v 11 today. My personal opinion is that they probably would've. It would've been a horribly close game. I am delighted we won. The red card was amazing for us. I am enjoying the irony of you pointing out that they had t had a shot in the sample size as if that would point to them having no shots over the 90 minutes 11 v 11. Kinda counter to your argument.

If you posted something along the lines of "Villa are growing into this" after 15 mins then i don't think anyone would have batted an eyelid. They pressed us more and were slowly getting a foothold into the game without threatening. As LFEE says this may have played into our hands like it did in the 5-1 But after 15 mins you say Villa look more likely to win the game based on them pressing a bit more is looking for negativity for the sake of negativity which you revel in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 Sadly couldn’t make it today as was at work, managed to watch most of the game. Love how on Amazon you can watch the full match back, shame it isn’t until post midnight but still. From what I seen we were class. Someone made this point last week and I agree, that when we go a goal ahead at home, Howe really goes for the jugular and wants us to hammer the opposite. When we won at home under Benitez I’d have no nails left and butterflies for 40 minutes. Not knocking Rafa as circumstances were different, but we have dished out a lot of hammerings under Howe and it’s class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can find every opinion everywhere online but I can't believe how much of a minority we seem to be in here. Passed a thread on Reddit and there's even NUFC fans in agreement with everyone that it was harsh. Anyone that dares suggest he could've avoided contact is 10s of down votes deep. If people had just watched the one angle from the side I could understand the contention. But that angle from behind is going around just as much and couldn't be plainer as fucking day.

Every week you see players getting stamped on twice after tackling someone, as they accidentally go full stretch towards them to stamp on their butt and then "compensates" but stamping into them with the other foot. Totally normal sequence of events, happens all the time. Edited December 26, 2024 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 To be honest, I am not sure about the red. I was certain it was the case that whatever the ref decides, VAR doesn't change that. Was surprised that he gave red rightaway. Anyway we were clearly a better team so right result anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 The red happened right in front of me and i can say he 100% knew what he was doing, he clearly wanted to make it look accidental but he meant to stand on Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post it again. I don't understand how the stamp with his left foot isn't deliberate. He looks at Schär way before the movement. He straightens his leg and aims it at Schär.

54 Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 Remember when we played these in pre-season last year, and Howe played an entirely different system that day compared to the opening game of the season. Emery has been reeling ever since and Eddie has had his number whenever we've played them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
