    I'm surprised it's stood tbh, but the ref let us take it.

    Tbh, he was holding his face, it was never a head injury, so it should stand.

    What was Kudus trying there? (Ovbiously on a bit of a lag)

    He wanted the stool for his goal celebration but the ball boy wasn’t giving it up.

    Refs are overly cautious with head injuries imo, especially with VAR; all too often someone has their face brushed and go down when it's clear there's no serious injury. The game should only stop when there's a serious impact on the head not a slight flick of the face.

    The ref has been really poor and got a lot wrong. Most in their favour, but the goal was weird. The guy was faking it as usual but I can see why Newcastle would be annoyed given the rules.

    Still can't understand how their penalty wasn't overturned for offside, though. That was bizarre.

    Paqueta has done the same as the Newcastle defender at least 3 times today, so despite my earlier comment at least he was consistent in ignoring the feigned injury.

    Schar got punished for play acting. It wasn't a head injury and he tried to con the ref and got Newcastle got punished. Excellent fightback to be 2-1 up.

    Too many players (including our own) stay down whenever they feel the slightest touch near their face feigning head injury either to stop play or hoping to get a player sent off.

    The head injury rule, IMO, was introduced for when there is a chance of a concussion or other serious head injury following a collision not for innocuous cases like this, so the referee did the right thing by not stopping play. On the other hand, we might be all singing a different tune if that happened to us.

    Kudus has had a pretty poor half

    Been Messi since I posted this

    For a moment I thought Kudus let that ball drift out of play.
  • stevesteve
    Wow

    Love the slow mo shot of those glum Geordies behind the goal
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Until added time at the end of the first half, both Bowen and Kudus had been fairly underwhelming, now they've each scored one and assisted one by the 48th minute.

    Newcastle about to make 3 changes. Next goal is crucial.

    Livramento twists his ankle nastily, but has at least got up and can walk off. 2 of their back line have had to be replaced so far. In fact, the guy who came on for Lascelles early on has also been subbed as well.

    Why have we changed to taking short corners?
  • stevesteve
    Anyone else think we need a 4th

    Definitely.

    First Isak and then Longstaff, in the space of a couple of minutes, have shot wide from close range. We're living dangerously.

    And a fifth looking at the way we are inviting them to play in our box.

    Newcastle will run out of substitutes at this rate!

    It’s strange but I have absolutely no sympathy for Saudi-owned Newcastle’s injury problems
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Almiron has only just come on, and it looks like he's going off. All 5 subs used by Newcastle inside 67 minutes.

    Phillips coming on for us it seems.
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Oh no! KP coming on. Cue the Newcastle come back.

    That’s twice they’ve subbed a sub
