Newcastle - Carabao Cup Final Sunday 16th March 16:30

[Kenneth]

There is no point pissing around at the back and then launching it up field, just means you have fewer players to challenge for second balls. May as well just go straight to launching it with the defence further up.

[spud_gun]

We lack intensity in our press, wonder if this is a tactical plan

No, the players are ****ing knackered.

You stick to the same 15 players and this is the inevitable results

It’s 15 mins in, after a 5 day gap. Surely not fatigue yet

[Rich]

We’ve started poorly.

[Kenneth]

Terrible 20 mins of football.

[Buzzo]

Not a classic so far.

[ChesterDave]

Lino practically conjoined to the Newcastle player and couldn't see the off6

[danperkins]

Awful game, although typical cagey final. They've been slightly better than us. Really thought there would be some fresh legs for this.

[Buzzo]

How was that not given as offside?

[BootRoom]

Konate didn't 'recover' - he was ahead the whole time. Useless 'analysis' from Neville.

[spud_gun]

We're so ragged

It's like we've forgotten how to play as a team since the first PSG game

[BootRoom]

This has got the makings of game that will be settled by a single spawny or set-piece goal.

[Tatterdemalion]

Neville is right about one thing - that was offside but could have been a serious collision, because the rule is to play on.

[Charly]

Be nice to see a shot this half

[Kenneth]

Konate and quansah don't look comfortable with each other.
