Novocastrian Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We’ve just literally played these arrogant cunts off the park. We should take some pride in that performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 minute ago, Smal said: don’t think we were naive. We had full control of the second half and it was right to go for a second imo, it’s what we have done in previous seasons to great success. We just give cheap goals away with basic errors. Been doing it all season. Totally wrong to go for the second. See the game out, go to Camp Nou, stay tight and hit them on the break as they push for equaliser.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) So annoying. It was so obvious what they were looking to do there. Olmo should have been taken out before he passed the 18 yard line. Edited March 10 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Add Yamal to the list of elite players that one of our young fullbacks have absolutely pocketed. Hope he gets double homework the shite little prick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, he never should have been one on one with an on-rushing Olmo. We lost our composure, treated the ball like a hot potato, a few players slid on their arse - and that was that.

Last minute goals have cost us numerous times this year. These are the 90+ goals we have conceded off the top of my head. All at home too.

wong989 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 No composure or game management again, we used to be able to see out games, don’t understand why it hasn’t been fixed, given Eddie was the coach an we still have Trips Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 minute ago, Nobody said: Gordon man, just pass it to Willock and we win the game. I genuinely couldn't believe he tried to switch it to the other side to Tonali. It's so typical of most of the team though. Terrible decision making so often.

TK-421 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Feels like that PSG game again. Annoying that we can't just see a game out, even with minutes left. Edited March 10 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Also it will go a bit unnoticed but I think having Ramsdale back there was huge today. Allowed us to slow the game down and pass with confidence along the back and take the sting out of the tempo at times beautifully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going for a second and then there's going gung-ho. No need to empty the pitch like we did. So immature of us man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 So typical of Newcastle - so near and yet, so far. They were all terrific - Joelinton was superb in midfield. As tough as it will be next week, it’s still in our own hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Just now, SAK said: Totally wrong to go for the second. See the game out, go to Camp Nou, stay tight and hit them on the break as they push for equaliser. we are not likely to get a Barcelona performance as poor as that at their place. The opportunity was there tonight to take a 2 goal lead there and we were right to go for it. There’s no mitigating for dumb individual errors like that. We’re as likely to make those mistakes if we sit back as we are if we go for a second this season. The approach wasn’t the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 2 minutes ago, TRon said: We should still have been able to keep them out with the whistle about to go. Yea, and now that I think about it. Barnes sub was 90' so that is why it was 30 seconds extra. But we should have played that better. And earlier already Gordon tried to put Tonali, who has been running 92 minutes, through on goal.. Wtf man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 5 minutes ago, Turnbull2000 said: We're so, so fucking naive. Top teams would never allow that. For the top teams the ref probably would have blown the whistle when the time was up rather than allowing a full spell of possession from the back.

There were a couple of times Burn and Malik had to think twice about passing back then realised it was Ramsdale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
