Although Sheffield Utd looking like relegation fodder here.

Yeah early still but they've not been able to play at the intensity they would like and it's showing.

They were overperforming slightly over the course of the season though so also probably a bit of regressing to the mean..

Joelinton is still shit

 

[Jack Regan]

Joelinton...

 

[Tony Towner]

Watching without the crowd noise, 2 English managers and backroom teams, the coaching from the sideline is somewhat 'traditional'.

 

[Jack Regan]

I'm enjoying the rather agricultural language more than the actual football.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Awful game. Not too worried though. Hopefully Newcastle can at least hold on to the point they have. Sheffield United have looked toothless since the restart. Maybe they lost their momentum.

 

[AndyWolves]

Sheff utd just seem to be finding their shape and pattern just a little bit more towards the end of the half

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is a harsh red, but I guess it was two yellows so fair enough. Straight red would have been unfair as the idea of Joelinton and clear goalscoring opportunity is quite the leap of faith.

Doesn't matter who the forward is, if you are last man and you stop him having a clear run at goal, you are gone.

Great defending by Stevens :nod:

 

[jd1981]

That’s shocking all round, Basham gets caught flat footed it’s a nothing ball in what Stephens is trying I don’t know. Even after that Henderson’s efforts aren’t the best.

 

[sycophantia]

Thought it should have been straight red, denying a goal scoring opportunity, last man......in other news, comedy defending gives Toon the lead, good times

 

[Alan]

Something of a comedy of errors, that.

 

[AndyWolves]

Defender megs himself for ASM to finish, he gave Henderson a sniff of saving it

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'm still pissing myself laughing at the defending after a few minutes and several replays. Micro does that on a Sunday morning and I would be going ballistic!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Billy Sharp HAS to score there

 

[Alan]

I assume I wouldn't be the first to point out the irony of Shelvey wearing the BLM shirt?

 

[Jack Regan]

Billy Sharp has to score there.

 

[Jack Regan]

Billy Sharp HAS to score there

I love watching games on nowtv, always behind the curve.

Now Almiron really has to score too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So does Almiron.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I just get the feeling that the miss there is going to come back to bite Newcastle and by extension us. I hope not.
