Newcastle United 1-1 Barcelona (10/03/26) | post-match from pg. 43


Recommended Posts

Everyone got a bit too anxious at the end there having been very composed for most of it.

 

Hall, Ramsey, Joelinton, Elanga and Tonali were class in particular.

 

Sucker punch, indeed. Still in the tie, and it guarantees that Newcastle won't just try and sit on a lead (which we're utterly shite at [emoji38]) in the second leg.

 

Funniest bits of the game was Burn absolutely leathering the ball at his own team mates for simple passes because he's so amped up.

TBF the 4 minutes are a MINUMUM of 4 minutes. If the ref has decided it's 4m30 to play, he'll have the board put up for 4m. No real issue with that.

 

Plus any additional stoppages need adding on that occur during the 4m.

It's a nasty little shimmy from Olmo, but absolutely ridiculous from Thiaw even putting a foot in there.

 

In the lead up to that there's some joker sliding into a tackle and leaving the gap for Olmo to sneak into. Think it was Tonali. Just unbelievable.

Excellent performance and deserved to win. We were great all over the park. Proud of the team. 

 

But time and time and time again we’re shooting ourselves in the foot. So fucking shite at closing games out. 

 

Naive as fuck.

Should have held onto the ball when we had it just before the 94th minute instead of punting it forward. Fuck sake man

You just knew as soon as Gordon did that what was going to happen next. It was stupid to give such a dangerous team one last attack for no reason, even if we don’t have a habit of conceding after going ahead all season. Braindead.

Fuck that "its a minimum of" shite. Game should have been over. He blew directly after the pen was scored. It's pathetic bias to these clubs. The ref was awful.

Yea I was expecting him to whistle when they were passing in the middle of the pitch and 4 mins were full. 

 

 

We should still have been able to keep them out with the whistle about to go.

We were the best version of ourselves for most of the game: intense, aggressive, high work rate 

Then we go ahead and expose the worst side of ourselves: poor final ball in the opposition box, naïve, inability to see out games.

 

This isn't an accident, why are we not more streetwise when it comes to seeing out games by now, this is absurd

 

Barça we're rank rotten, they were there for the taking

I thought the refereee had a decent game. 

Eh he was fast as hell getting his cards out for us barely even went to his pocket for them.

Yet again feeling massively deflated after what was an amazing effort. The extra minute of stoppage time was hardly erroneous given we made the sub on 90 mins, only ourselves to blame for not seeing that out.
