Newcastle (A) 27/10 Build-Up & Match Thread

Couple of very decent crosses from Traore already

 

[Carrotdude]

At times it looks almost like 343 with all of Donk, Traore and Doherty in the wrong positions.

Yeah I thought that too. We’re doing alright so far though

 

[Premier Quality]

Shitty shoulder to Jotas face by the defender

 

[Tredman]

If we’ve got this stupid VAR why is it not looking at Jota getting elbowed in the head?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Seems Donk and Neves dropping into the wide positions like we did in the championship. Moutinho then a bit higher. Means neves isn’t dropping into the back 3 giving us more options

 

[Jack Regan]

Ugh! That was nasty on Diogo. I'll be surprised if he can continue after that.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Jota KO cold there

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

No card? That was dangerous play

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah he’s done get him off

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

A player who has suffered a head injury must first leave the pitch. The decision of whether he is fit to play on will be taken out of the manger's hands and instead becomes the sole responsibility of the club doctor.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ummm... Surely that challenge is worthy of a look?

The rule is wrong. Any player losing consciousness should automatically be subbed. Not worth the risk.

 

[Tredman]

Shit refereeing again. We really do have a wank bunch of refs.

 

[Carrotdude]

Not exactly a classic this

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Recovered well and getting fouled again. Dirty geordie pricks

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If he was out for sure. I don't care if it damages us as a team.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

I agree completely (to johnnys post)

 

[Jinky]

Kevin Friend is a terrible referee. And this is a terrible match, so far.

 

[Carrotdude]

We look better than Newcastle but we don’t look like we’re going to create anything any time soon. 0-0 written all over it atm.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

This is dull fayre
