Newcastle (A) Match Thread

[ChesterDave]

How much complaining about decisions and mouthing off at the ref is Joelinton going to be allowed to get away with?

A bit of noise and fanfare about stamping down on it for a couple of weeks and it will be business as usual for all teams

[Kenneth]

Again, we’ve been no worse since losing a player.

[Tatterdemalion]

It's gonna be a long season.

[BobTheCharmer]

We've played much worse. It was always going to be a tough game. I think Nunez for gakpo to give us threat over the top. We're still in this.

[BobTheCharmer]

It’s not the pass. That’s an easy ball to control.

It was a stupid ****ing pass. Yes trent ****ed up big why play it to him with Gordon next to him.

[Tribute]

Newcastle bang average today, we’ve just been poor in possession, gifted them a goal and Trent let his heads gone in first ten mins…

A ‘normal’ LFC performance and we’d be winning this. Defence has put massive self-inflicted pressure on us. Forwards not getting a sniff…

Szobo, Mac and Endo all decent. Defence ball retention is appalling.

Good shout that

[Fierce]

It put him under a wee bit of unnecessary pressure but the pass was fine and a professional footballer should be able to control it

[Rich]

I’d bring Nunez on. Also how many fouls did Joelinton make in that half?! Not worth a yellow given the volume?

[Le Chef]

Eddie Howe is such a gob****e

[Tribute]

Gakpo is invisible

Nothing for the front three but scraps as defence is causing us self-inflicted problems and midfield being forced to drop deep. Shambles at the back.

[Cerbie]

If he is leaving Trent on after Virgil’s red, why the **** didn’t we hook Gakpo?

[Tribute]

Joelinton leaving the boot in a few times - yellow for persistent fouling??

Ref should have shown at least two yellows to them, but nothing…

[danperkins]

One down, a man down away to the fittest side in the league is not a good position to be in. I thought we as ok since going a man down, well certainly no worse.

I just don't know what to say about Trent anymore, the amount of goals he is directly at fault for every season is ridiculous. Yet another defensive brainfart from him and the sending off was actually a sending off. Endo had looked a bit lost even before the sending off but the midfield in general has been below par. How Joelinton hasn't got booked is a ****ing mystery.

Agree Nunez to come in, at least he ll run. Gakpo had been anonymous.

There is no normal LFC performance now. Occasionally great, occasionally laughably **** and mostly alright, that’s us for 18 months. The default is no longer ‘better than Newcastle’ I’m afraid. They finished above us and will do again I’m sure.
