Newcastle United 1-4 Bournemouth (18/01/25)

[Astroblack]

Reduced to pot shots and set pieces. Would take a draw all day long. Said it before but to even get the ball off of them, it takes everything in our will.

[Beren]

That second goal is annoying. Each possession becomes that much more loaded, as they'll sit back and invite us on to them. Hard to get the ball off and danger if we press too much. Plus time wasting and irritation for our hotheads.

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

The end of the half was just ridiculous.  The ref hadn’t even blown the whistle when Joelinton did his stuff.  What the fuck was the ref doing?  They had the ball huge could not have been playing advantage.

[Ikon]

Gordon lacks a bit technically tbh.

When we equalised we thought job done and just expected to sail through the game ,big wake up.

 

Bit harsh, we were just trying to settle down, and Bruno had a total brain fart.

[Big Geordie]

I'd fetch Little Joe on for Big Jo. Extra legs and pace in midfield may help.

 

Bournemouth are a dangerous side and very well coached.  We will do well to get something out of this.

Fabs on 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gordon has been very poor, needs a rest

 

 

He was so on it last game as well. Shame Barnes is injured. In fact, bench isn't really offering anything.

[r0cafella]

Hope Sven hasn't picked up another injury bit worrying this. 

[Big Geordie]

Schar on for Botman at HT.

[nemtizz]

Should have started him

[Displayname]

Needed Schär. 

[nufcjb]

Don't see us outscoring them. Draw at best. They'll score again.

[Newcastle Fan]

Right sub to help us play from  the back.

[andyman]

Norwegian PL studio tearing the ref a new one

[Unbelievable]

Come on, let’s smash these second half

[McDog]

Speaking of gannin, how about some. I see Schar is on.

We can't cross for shit. Hit first man all the time. We should be causing havoc and been pretty straightforward for them

 

That happens too often tbh. Corners as well as crosses from open play.

Joelinton earning his yellow was the high point of the half imo. Like a pitcher beaning a batter after one of theirs gets hit. You gotta do it. That's a loving teammate right there.

 

 

 

 

Didn't mind it.

 

We need firing up.

 

Going to need to get our energy from somewhere.

 

We look tired.

[Armchair Pundit]

The ref is doing my heed in

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

Hope Botman is not injured.

[MagSA]

great change. Never convinced by having 2 left footers in there. Hopefully Schar can pop some balls in behind to give Bournmouth something else to think about

[McDog]

Comms called it a tactical change.
