soyt Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well..that second half was a total embarrassment. You can not defend that, but hey ho what can you do. Now we need to batter the mackems and have a strong finish to the league season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen that all season and more. Move on though. Big game on Sunday. The lesson learned is to have more revenue and a bigger and better squad? We can kid ourselves but that is all football is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move on though. Big game on Sunday. I agree. Too many players rotate in and out of teams for "teams" to learn lessons. Especially if we're not in it next year. Howe has a big job to be his usual dignified self and pick them up for the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Ultimately, one of the best young squads in the world, getting past them was always going to be a challenge. The score doesnt reflect the overall tie unfortunately, but thats all some will see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 We made mistakes but I feel like it needs reiterating that we were playing Barcelona at the Nou Camp man. We weren't the only team out there, half of their line up are Balon d'Or finalists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Defence has to figure out whether or not to hold a line and play for offside or to drop. 3 goals were just bad decisions and two were glaring mistakes. Can't believe the difference between the two halves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think it would make a lot of difference, and numbers-wise it didn't, but psychologically it was immense. Barcelona knew from that moment that we weren't capable of winning that tie and they played with supreme confidence from beginning to end tonight. I think that pen before the end of the first half was the nail in the coffin. As before that we looked a threat on the break. It's like we came out the second half already beat.

pubteam Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well if only the premier league wasn’t so concerned with restricting teams spending money they could actually compete a bit more in Europe. Assume we will lose the extra place now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTONEW Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 If we play like the first part of that game on Sunday...we'll be absolutely fine. First 45 was prime Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Really weird game, just didn't get up for the second half at all even though we'd shown a lot of fret in the first half. Barca are incredible like, not talking about this team especially as they aren't that good by their standards but just a constant flow of young homegrown kids getting chances at one of the biggest clubs in the world. If Yamal can stay on the right track he'll be the best player since Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too long risk free a league phase. Same shit as the PL, just a different cartel. It's a garbage tournament and the most memorable thing from our entry in it this season is the manner of which we went out. Pales in comparison to all of our other previous exits which all at least had some epic night. This campaign the wins were routine and exhibition-like meanwhile the schedule was hideously bloated. This isn't bitterness at going out incidentally. Been saying it all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Conceding that second goal was the most annoying for me. A proper shoot yourself in the dick goal to concede. That is not hard to defend but we've been so susceptible to that type of shite playing in a league that has a permaboner for set plays. Annoyance will take a long time to unwind.

MagMal Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Super proud of the lads, matched and at times out performed one of the biggest clubs in the world for 3/4 of the tie, yes we made mistakes, yes we gave away soft goals but what an adventure and we will be better for it next time.

Looked shaky the first half until the pen, but I give them credit for turning it on and being ruthless when we were rattled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexred Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The result is hard to take and a bit embarrassing. We also need to remember we're playing a club €2Bil in debt with a turnover of €1bil. It's hard to compete with a club like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Three quarters of the tie were pride inducing; a quarter rage inducing. Not even sure who/what I am angry at (maybe ‘hope’…) but intend to give full vent to it at the very next opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
