Newcastle (A) 15/01 Build Up & Match Thread.

Penalty?

Looked like Livramento effectively hipchecked Cunha, so obviously nothing doing.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Agbadou was breathing so not given

Weird?

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Thats a penalty how the fuck has VAR not looked at it

 

[Squeak]

We carry too many passengers I'm afraid.

100%. We're not playing as a team now. Some players doing no defensive work at all.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Thats a penalty how the fuck has VAR not looked at it

I can’t believe we still have to say this, nearly a decade into VAR, but VAR look at everything. It will have been checked.

(I still think it’s a penalty)

 

[Jinky]

Back in the bottom three on goal difference now. Plus Ipswich have a game in hand on us.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Weird?

Not weird at all - people blaming him for things when it was not his fault whatsoever.

 

[Squeak]

Men v Boys time.... we have nothing.

 

[EnglishBob]

This 'defending'... Sheesh!

 

[Jinky]

Bellegarde

Fucking hell. Might get an early night.

 

[wanderer89]

Bellegarde must look like prime Maradona in training.

 

[Squeak]

Take one liability off and put another on...

 

[Jack Regan]

I take back my earlier comment about us having footballers on the bench who could replace Guedes.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Not weird at all - people blaming him for things when it was not his fault whatsoever.

He didn't close down Isak at all on the first goal, was just stood 3 yards in front of him doing nothing at all, instead we have RAN stretching coming in from the side, it was just odd.

Second he was stood similarly behind the play doing nothing, there have been a couple of other instances of it too. He seems to lack positional awareness to me.

He's made one good block (was offside anyway) but i think generally he's been poor, particularly on the ball too.

 

[Squeak]

Bellegarde must look like prime Maradona in training.

Nah...clearly Hwang.

 

[EnglishBob]

Guedes for Bellegarde. A like for like change, they're both sh*t.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Bellegarde must look like prime Maradona in training.

Jean Ricner Corica

 

[Jinky]

Cunha doesn’t look fit to me.

 

[Jack Regan]

Disappointing we've not remotely tested Dubravka who is basically Johnstone levels of liability.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I think Newcastle have been pretty good tonight to be fair to them.
