Match Day Thread Newcastle v Saints EFL Cup SF 2nd Leg Tue 31/1/23 8pm

I hope United absolutely trounce them in the final. Horrible club with deluded fan base

 

And I can point out that he's said exactly the same thing a dozen times throughout the match. Mate.

 

FT ..........Newcastle are a **** of a club.

 

FT we lost

 

Okay so we can hope we never see a back 5 again

with a back 4 we’ve played okay against a very good Newcastle team


Lavia has looked like the best midfielder on the pitch since coming on



with new signings to add in, we could end up doing okay.


As long as we ditch the back 5

 

Respectfully, I think you're wrong there. The change of formation left everyone out of sorts nobody, midfield included knew where they were supposed to be. Nobody seemed to know when to go in, step off, what do do in scenario A thru Z. It was disastrous all around, not just midfield.

 

We are so ****ing **** to watch now. Please bog off back to Luton Jones.

 

Positives.

We scored the last goal.

We drew the second half

I didn’t need to eat my head

 

Can’t say the better side over the two legs didn’t go through, terrible first 20 and they took full advantage

 

Horrible ****ty club. Hope United stuff them 27-0 in the final and Newcastle get 11 red cards.

 

Grow up. You’d say the same thing about any team that beat us.

EDIT: sorry. Replied to wrong comment

 

I ****ing hate Radio Solent online. Commentary automatically stopped at 10pm for the scheduled 10pm news, so I had to listen to 5 live ejaculating as they announced the result at the whistle.

 

This a hundred times. Every single time we play five at the back, whether under Ralph or under NJ we look terrible. I wonder if the two facts could be related.

 

Sigh. So frustrating.

 

We didn't even put them under any substantial pressure after the red card.

 

How many times have we said exactly this? The message isn't sinking in, and I'm becoming more and more convinced this ****ty 5 at the back system is a Sports Republic directive.

 

Right, but you really think 4-4-2 would have been much better?

Newcastle are just far superior, and we had weak as **** midfield pair.

 

Newcastle are 3rd in the league because they are good. We were **** for a bit, but remember they are a good side at home with 58,000 fans roaring them on.

Not an excuse, but we are bottom, with a PE teacher as a manager and have no confidence.

 

Yes, he was much better in the second half

 

Oh my dear fruits you do make me laugh.

I backed us at 33-1 before the game to win, but I am a sucker. We started extremely poorly and then improved significantly. If AA buries that we go on to win. Hopefully we have new players coming in and things get better and we win the FACup.

Please also Mods , you know who are, please don't inflame the discussion by calling our manager a ****ing ****, naively I assume you have this position as you have demonstrated responsibility in the past

 

Don't get me wrong, I know that our squad has massive limitations. But that match has just highlighted how much of a problem Jones is. The first and second halves were chalk and cheese, and that was solely down to tactics and personnel. This isn't the lower leagues. You can't afford to give PL opponents a 45 minute head start. Get it right, from the start. That first 45 minutes was scary bad. The second 45 minutes absolutely was not.
