Newcastle Utd V Leeds Utd Match Thread - Llorente starts, Klich on the bench

[SG90]

Couldn't see any dribble from that, but hard to tell from the pics.

But we had all this from Saiz already. Spanish players seem to bring us nothing but issues.

Rod caught him on the mouth with his elbow and Cher didn't like it. It looked accidental to me.

I thought the verbal was as well as tbh.

[Lumiukko]

Schar went through the back of Rod whose hand then caught him in the mouth drawing blood.There was verbals
Schar then shoved into Rod who fell over .

The ref booked them both.

I didnt see any spitting .

That's my take on it too.

Scruffy win but a win all the same. 14 points from the relegation zone halfway through the season? I'll take it.

7 points off the top six sounds even better

[WhiteRose]

I wondered at the time if something happened when rodrigo leaned over and said something, probably a bit of spittle id say rather than a deliberate act.

[Carrick Dave]

I put that down to Bielsa telling the players not to hug each other....

Yeah.

[1964white]

Thank god for that.
We've got away with one tonight.
Awful defensively second half, we just cannot defend corners.
On the plus side, two very well taken goals.
Finally we're off 23 points.

We are absolutely clueless defensively Chilli, anyone who has played football can see it.

Simple balls passed aimlessly to the opposition allowing the geordies back in the game.
We absolutely hate players running with pace at us, can't tackle so only way we can stop attackers is by fouls means, which is better than nothing I suppose.
Protection from midfield non-existent at times.
It's heart in the mouth every time the opposition gets a corner.
Thank god for Raphinha & Rodrigo (a class above tonight) plus Jack's super strike

[1964white]

I can lip read he said

"Steve, we weren't very good tonight and gave you a chance but it shows what a shite coach you are, that you didn't take advantage, you scum basterd"

My view was that Rod fell over to prove a point that you can fall over for nothing? Both got booked either way.

[1964white]

We were ok with the opening them up going forward, it was the stopping them walking through the middle of midfield which was the issue. Thought Roberts did ok to be honest.

Llorente has missed 12 games this season, missed 4 last, 14 the season before. Seems a bit of a crock.

Major problem Adam

[1964white]

About sums it up, apart from how biased the ref was

He's from Manchester

The talking point was when Schar was on the floor and Rodders leaned over him

[Carrick Dave]

So, out of interest since I’m not the most tactically astute, when we buy a Cuisance-type CM, who does he replace, Klich?

[1964white]

I was on the Sauvignon Blanc with my tea...and a double brandy after 70mins

Point is Finn we allowed an extremely poor side back in the game

I don't care, my view was Rod was proving a point, and I think he was legit

[1964white]

Surprised by your Saint-Maximin comment, he had Ayling on toast at least twice, and Phillips as well.

Sadly he made the pair of them look daft

Totally agree with you ‘64. It is just terrifying the way an opponent can just run straight through the middle of us. Any cross causes mayhem and we are finding it nigh on impossible to play out of defence when there’s a high press on us. We were lucky that Alioski took the booking for punching the ball away having conceded so tamely while going backwards at a rate of knots.

A good team would have scored freely against us tonight. Just hope the win lifts morale and confidence for the upcoming games.

[1964white]

I didn't think it could get much worse second half, oh boy it did. Woeful, disjointed, sloppy, hapless and that was just Newcastle, we were much worse. I hate to say it folks but 16 other clubs put 5 past us again today we were that poor second half, Newcastle fans won't take any comfort from that but they should have got something from that game.

Honestly if we don't improve quickly it could be the 20th of March before we see another chance of a point. We won the game but we are in a rut. Awful performance for me.

Spot on Leeds1000

Better teams would have punished us tonight, Newcastle were woeful & only looked threatening because we allow them to dictate the play in the 2nd half.

All about survival & consolidating a place in the PL this season.

Much quality recruitment required in the summer!
