Zero Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Just now, Ronaldo said: He’s 33 in a few days, legs are clearly going and was never that great outside the box at his best. Not like we were bringing Drogba on. then at least play like a veteran player who knows what’s the best for the team instead of just being selfish he could run to the corner flag for long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickTop Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Everyone had one eye on Liverpool at half time, nearly paid for it. On balance though it's a massive win and keeps our hunt for CL football alive. Reckon we'll go and get a result on Wednesday now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 (edited) We just gift easy goals. Can't carry two nervy, underperforming centrebacks in one game. Pope didn't help. Edited February 23, 2025 by JUICE690 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 I get we may save energy 2nd half with Liverpool coming up but fuck me we put ourselves in to trouble so much there. Should have switched it at 60 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Vinegar Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Glad we won; difficult to understand what went on in that second half. Felt awful watching it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Well, we’ll learn from this! Or maybe not. Good for 35 mins of the game again which in the end was enough. Proper shit 2nd half performance (again). Pope piss poor which in turn made Schär and Burn even more nervous than usual, Bruno poor. Hall great, Miley good for 65 mins. I’d definitely put Pope back on the bench for Wednesday. And tell the team to never, ever ever try and sit on a lead again. Go hell for leather with intensity and press, use subs proactively instead of giving opponents every chance to get back in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 15 mins aside that was as bad a home performance as you’ll ever see. The result is the important thing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Good God that was an absolutely horrible watch. Obviously delighted to win but rage lingers when it comes. Honestly can't remember the last time I screamed that loudly when Wilson didn't pass it at the end there. Second loudest was when Tino didn't release it that time when he dribbled in field. Ludicrous team this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Credit for the result, but that was diabolical. No idea how he prepares us to be such a confused side, a side who can blow away a team in one half, and be shit and passive in another. The Cup Final prospect is scaring the crap out of me.

M4 Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Obviously win is a win is a win, and delighted with the first half then around. But shame we couldn't hold on better to help the goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boey_Jarton Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Game management (by the players not Howe) was as bad as I have seen by a Newcastle team for many years. Nobody took control. Nobody played the dark arts. We were rushing all our passes despite have either a three of two goal cushion for most of the half. One of those wins which is a decent result but leaves me with less faith in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBartoon Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Got to wonder what’s been said at half time! We are not good enough to keep the ball, some of the decision making from the back 4 at times was woeful, especially burn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 23, 2025 Share Posted February 23, 2025 Also, if we had one eye on Liverpool, how come Isak played just about the whole 90 mins? Just daft squad management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
