Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 4 Subscriber Posted October 4 I'd have had us down as capable of getting a result here but Branthwaite has picked up a fresh injury that will keep him out of this one and now rumours are circulating that Mykolenko may be injured too. With Keane probably featuring alongside Tarkowski and Garner and Young potentially our full back pairing I predict Everton 1-3 Newcastle. Quote
Gunnersaurus Posted October 4 Posted October 4 We really should be getting at least 3 goals against Southampton. We aren't hammering teams but Southampton look really so we should be getting at least 3. But really 4 or 5 should be the aim Quote
Administrator Stan Posted October 4 Author Administrator Posted October 4 Must win for us. Start of a run against relatively 'easier' teams, albeit Bournemouth are a decent outfit these days. Have to get that win sooner rather than later though. Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 I'd say we've done well considering we're up a goal but since the goal we've not really been able to finish or get into something advantageous in the final third. Fully expect the second half to rectify that. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Alisson must be the world’s most injury prone keeper Quote

LFCMike Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Good win. Should have made it more comfortable for ourselves but I think we saw it out reasonably comfortably. Didn't actually feel like that at the time though! I think Alisson having to come off made it feel more nail biting than it actually was 2 Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 Garner out of position at right back, Young at left back, Keane back into central defence. If Newcastle's attack can't bag 3 or more tonight they want taking out and shooting. Begging for an international break because of injuries yet again. Quote

You give that and you’ve got to give a penalty for pretty much every grab and pull in the box for set pieces. If Palace wanted that to be given they should have tried being Man City, because they’re just about the only team that gets gifted penalties like that in our league. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted October 5 Author Administrator Posted October 5 Comfortable first half. Scrappy second half when it didn't need to be. It's a much-needed win and clean sheet but I'm still nowhere near convinced on Cooper. Bournemouth had an off day, expected more from them after their convincing win over Saints. Buonanotte is a decent player. Looks to be very creative and just the kind of player we need. But Cooper still insists on using players like Reid, Soumare and Edouard. Embarrassing. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted October 5 Author Administrator Posted October 5 Darren Bond is a shit ref. This wasn't given as a penalty Quote
6666 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Havertz has really become a top player for us now. Started off looking really out of place whichever position he was put in but now looks confident and integral to the team. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 We were doing okay before the penalty but we've been getting battered since. Ridden our luck to get to halftime at 0-0. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 Calvert-Lewin and then Gueye should bury that anyway but I think that's a decent claim for a penalty. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 I mean we'll take a point off them. Especially if it includes their pantomime villain Pickford saving a penalty from the little tit Gordon . They were much better than us. That was our best defensive performance of the season except for Tarkowski's rugby tackle on Tonali and Garner and Keane played really well. Our attack were off it today though. McNeil never got in the game and Calvert-Lewin didn't get much change out of their centre backs. 3 games, 5 points since the last international break. We're starting to perform at about par in terms of results. If we'd have not imploded against Bournemouth we'd be well clear of the relegation fight at this stage. Just need a decent run now with a lot of bottom half opponents. We could get a good points haul but if we're off it then we don't want to be handing points to the likes of Ipswich and Southampton and getting dragged back into the thick of it. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 5 Subscriber Posted October 5 Social media consensus seems to agree with me. Calvert-Lewin kicked Burn's leg but Burn put himself in the path to stop him from finishing the move. Really think Newcastle could have had no complaints if that was a penalty. Attackers initiate the contact all the time and get the foul because they've got on the wrong side of the defender. Quote

If the defender makes no contact with the ball but brings the attacker down that has to be a foul... Looked like a decent penalty shout to me Quote
Dave Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Not happy or disappointed with yesterday. Thought Lacroix and Hughes deserve singular praise. Glad we grew in the game but we really should have peppered the goal more when Alisson went off. I dont think it's as simple as its all going down to the shitter because we lost Olise, but not signing a maverick attacking midfielder is already hurting us. The Wolves and Fulham games feel a lot more important than they should but even if we were in the bottom three at Christmas, I'd feel comfortable of survival as long as we're not cut adrift from 17th. Parish panicking in January and a good last third seems to be an annoying usual routine for us. Quote

Looked like a decent penalty shout to me How has he brought down the attacker though? He's put his leg in front of the Calvert-Lewin who has then kicked him? It's similar to fouls in other parts of the pitch. Player gets the legs and body between the ball and the other player. Other player comes through and tries to get the ball, but doesn't, and tackles/fouls the player instead. Quote

You have answered your own question... By putting his leg in front of him he has prevented him making contact with the ball and as a result he has brought the player down.. If he had made contact with the ball it would have been deemed a fair challenge but he made no attempt to get the ball just get in the way of the attacker, If he had just got kicked up the arse for his troubles but both players remained standing then no problem.. He was preventing a goal scoring opportunity in my opinion.. Quote
