Dave Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Got no idea how this is going to go. We really need a win to relieve tensions.
Guest Cannabis Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Hoping for a Palace smashing as we've got them next Saturday. I have a feeling that they'll sort themselves out and win though as Newcastle are pretty wank at the moment with one thing and another.
Honey Honey Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Never know what team we will put out. Rafa rotates like crazy. We are unbeaten in 5 games if you exclude our two games against Man City. All since going back to 1 upfront our games are a lot tighter again, fine margins. We really should have 4 more points and be feeling comfortable though. Swansea and Burnley both came away with draws from SJP when they really shouldn't have. If we had a decent striker we would be comfortably and deservedly mid table. Instead we have Gayle and/or Joselu missing sitters every week. Unfortunately now we are under pressure. The drop is getting the closer. This is about the time in the season when all those prior frustrations, those missed points, it all piles up and you crack, the team cracks, they descend into panic and nervy football like Stoke under Mark Hughes. This is where Rafa has to come into his own now and keep them calm. Especially if we go behind.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 good save from Darlow to deny Benteke who was clean through.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 1-0 to the Geordies! Diame is left totally unmarked as a corner manages to make its way all the way across the 6 yard box. Poor defending from what looked like a poorly taken corner.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Zaha misses from 6 yards out. Deflects out for a corner but a goal-kick given
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 and now Benteke can't tap it in from a yard out. Zaha scuffed shot took a few deflections; Darlow reacted well but the rebound couldn't fall kindly to Benteke.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 it's really annoying me that the co-commentar keeps calling Karl Darlow 'Karlo Darlow'
Honey Honey Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 SkySports 0 Newcastle 1 at half time. No way will this game end 1-0. We are very open defensively. Very good away performance going forward though. Fairly in control until the end when Palace started to turn up. Another goal from a Kenedy corner.
True Blue Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Well played Kenedy, two assists in two games.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Kenedy has looked Newcastle's brightest and enigmatic player. Palace definitely should have scored in that half though. Too intricate and taking too much time in front of goal.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 penalty to Palace! Good spot from the assistant. Clark pulling Benteke's shirt.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Goal! The penalty almost saved by Karlo Darlow. Tipped on to the post and the power tips it over the line.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Why has Rafa taken Kenedy off?? Don't understand that at all.
Inverted Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Also I’ll never get why defenders pull shirts in those situations. You turn a tricky chance that’s far from a sure goal into a pen.
Honey Honey Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 We are rattled since Clark's fuck up for the penalty ffs.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 i hear @The Palace Fan just ran on to the pitch...
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 If the cunt banging the drum would drop dead, I'd be much happier with this match. As things stand it's just making me pine for the 90s when Newcastle were good, and Palace were a yoyo club - simpler times. This cunts drum is doing my hangover no favours.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Shelvey how's he getting away with that?! worse than the one for the penalty.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Palace should have won that based on the amount of chances they had, especially in that 2nd half. They missed so many clear opportunities.
Administrator Stan Posted February 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Also, mentioned it in another thread but 3 points separate 11th to 19th. Huddersfield, in 19th, closer to that 11th spot than they are to the bottom of the league
