Newcastle United 2-1 Brentford (02/04/25)


Recommended Posts

Good win that, if not the most fluid. We definitely created more good chances than they did and played well in patches. Bit ropey between the pen and Sandro's howitzer but largely managed it well other than the Schade chance at the death I thought.

Tonali 100% meant that thundercunt like, end the debate.

Thomas Frank asked him at the end of the game if he meant it. He replied with a smile and a nod. 

Man's a fuckin genius.

As average as we were in parts we had three or four gilt edge chances that we fucked up due to farcical decision making. A bit more clinical and that’s a rout.


Yeah we’re going to have to be far better down the stretch in terms of taking our chances and being more proficient in the final 3rd. I think the result is the main thing tonight, tricky opposition, tricky timing after all the celebrations. Back to training and onto to Leicester.

Isak's movement with the ball for the dissallowed Barnes goal, sex.

 

Should have hit it with his left after the shimmy, but he has immense footwork. He's a joy to watch. Teams shit themselves a bit when he's on the pitch and they get a lift when he goes off.

 

Will be nice when we have a quality backup for Isak and a top quality right wing player too.

Strange one tonight. Brentford have been on a decent run, but at times felt like we made our own problems again, giving the ball away cheaply at times, and there was still the worry about 'after the lord mayors parade' and all that. But we had loads of half chances, with an annoying reluctance to shoot at times, just taking that extra touch (or three).

But at the end of the day, a win is a win, and we move on and hopefully learn from it.

Wilson though. Just don't see what he offers us right now. Not exactly good at holding the ball up, doesn't/can't take anyone on, and hasn't got the legs to run onto long balls anymore, as he's always beaten to them. Osula has to be worth a chance soon, shirley??

But Tonali's goal. Looked like a cross, but the more you see, it looks deliberate. Almost Beardsley-esque.

Anyway, onwards, to Leicester. :clap2::indi:

I mean he fucked up that chance pretty badly by not scoring or passing to Barnes earlier. 

 

I thought he had a rare off night

One of the worst games in terms of quality I've seen in a while, and you'll find me at National League, Northern League, Sunday pub league down the rec, etc...

 

But job done and on we go.

 

Think Brentford play some decent patterns that match up with us well, they're a good side.

 

We'll be in the Champions League next year no panic, got that out our system tonight and did what we needed.
