    I do not think that the toon are going to slacken off this game as they will want to go into next week on a high.

    I hope we are not going to underestimate them

    Isak starts. Contain him and we have a chance.
  • LukerzLukerz
    I am not encouraging deliberately trying to injure players, but it may be worth just seeing what Isak is about in the first 10 minutes.

    Bit of an emotional moment then as Antonio walked out to greet the crowd, was not on crutches or anything so it seems his recovery is going well

    Soucek should have scored there in the first minute, seemed harder to miss

    I missed that. I can hear them singing his name around 11 mins, but cameras didn't pick up any reason for that.

    Decent save by Areola in the middle of a sustained period of Newcastle pressure.

    They included it in the pregame show over here, he came out about 5mins before kick off and they had his picture on the screens etc, he definitely looked a little emotional as he took a standing ovation.

    Walked out quite normaly and was a nice moment

    Chance for Bowen but he was kinda crowded and his shot was straight at the keeper.
  • alderzalderz
    Unsurprisingly, Bowen isn’t haven’t much joy in the air against Dan Burn. I’m not sure why we keep knocking it long from Areola for Bowen to lose the ball repeatedly against a guy nearly a foot bigger than him.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Another decent save from Areola from a corner.
  • alderzalderz
    Tuchel sat next to Noble having a chat is an odd sight.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Great pressing by Bowen and JWP to move us from one end of the pitch to the other and regain possession.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Lovely dummy by Bowen leads to a strike from range from Kudus, but it's too close to the keeper.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    AWB playing well.

    Real quality tackle back by AWB…there have been few half chances for both sides but it has been a bit of a scratchy start if I am honest with Newcastle edging it

    My comms speaking as the camera picks out Paqueta - says 'FA want a lifetime ban '

    Is that common knowledge? Id not heard that before.

    I read it in a few places a few days ago.

    We need to wake up. Playing too deep.

    Why isn't Bowen wearing an armband
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Good block by Cresswell.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Opportunity for Kudus but he couldn't get the shot away, shoulda tried with his right foot when he had the chance imo.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Giving me kittens when we tried to play out.

    I’d suggest it’s a ploy against the in-form striker who loves running in behind defenses, timing his runs perfectly, & banging in 20 goals with his eyes closed.

    Can't see what JW-P is contributing at all.

    The ref spent most of the 2 minutes talking to Alvarez and Bruno, but blows up bang on 47 mins. 0-0 HT.

    You could say the same about several players.

    Strategic de-escalation.

    Pretty dull - as per Potter sides we seem more interested in recycling the ball constantly - looking for Areola every fifth pass - than going forward. Hopefully a bit more bravery second half, we have nothing to lose.
