Magic Lamps

I did watch that game and must have just missed that moment lol

It’s all worth nothing if you miss such a chance and then lose Being 3 vs just the goalie is super rare in football. Never in 25y of watching the game I have seen it not being scored before on top level

Watch us now concede from their first shot

That’s just Sterling in a pinch. Brilliant in one instant Frustrating in the next 5

Wow 3 on one and not scoring that’s a new low even for us

Not at all. Mudryk is still poor. Broja is just such a pathetic striker

Mudryk is still 10 times the player broja is

None of our strikers can finish so let’s just play all of them at once

Jackson really has to try harder there

I think it is some kind of 42211 with Jackson just behind broja . Maybe it’s preparation for giving nkunku that 2nd striker berth

Typical broja problem for all our players they never find the right moment to pull the trigger .

That’s possibly the worst lineup yet. Caicedo, Fernández out bc of injury but that Jackson broja combination is the worst. Our two worst attackers making up half the attacking places while also benching Mudryk again after scoring is such poor man management

I don’t understand it either but with our medical team someone is always out so we need at least 2 for every position. Also they are still young and could still be converted to wingers if they have the pace. The only thing going for Noni is that he is left footed. Pace and skill we have enough already. Granted Noni was very unlucky in some games where he hit the woodwork repeatedly. palmer and Colwill I agree they will be class. Esp how Palmer already assumes responsibility is impressive . But Caicedo I think ppl are in the denial stage. He is exactly as mediocre as most on here feared when we splashed out that absurd fee. Average player with average talent, potential and mid ceiling. I can see why ppl don’t want to give up on him simply bc we invested so much. That price tag alone will ensure he will have hundreds of opportunities and as many false dawns. But the talent is just not there. The sooner one accepts this the less it hurts. At best he will become sth like our Granit xhaka.

You can expect our brilliant medical team will expertly guide him to a forced retirement at 24

Praise the lord another 17 yo is joining to save our season

Yup. This very cup win kicked off our trophy spell from 2015 to 2022. Completely transformed the mentality of the squad back then. Desperately want to win this but I think we only stand a chance if we avoid Liverpool. this lot is so poor mentally they will only ever win anything first time with a huge slice of luck.

He had two loans. Don’t think he will profit from another. Just not good enough. He has the pce and power but super slow, tame and poor in his reactions, anticipation and overall football IQ. Needs to be sold

If we won this tourney, we would get to play in the incompetence league btw. Not sure if that is a deterrent or an incentive …

I think he will be mid. A but like gronkjaer back then. He will learn how to use that devastating pace better with time and score a banger here and there but overall he is too old to improve much upon his football brain. In narrow spaces and situations that need quick thinking he will mostly remain insufficient

Wow forgot how this feels like. Super surprised obv Motm Kieran trippier for us ofc But so many more positives. Petrovic was great on pens after his impressive debut vs sheff nkunku looks fit albeit a bit rusty great pen tho. Gusto fit again too Mudryk with another well taken important goal even if only his 3rd These are the nights that forge team spirit can finally make a proper unit out of this weird group of players

Losing for this team is pretty much a given as soon as the opposition puts up a fight but the fashion we do is usually what is not acceptable. Stupid mistakes or just completely sucking at intensity and game management are the most common causes but this calender year we have pretty much tried every possible way of losing.

maatsen is utter shite. Maybe the worst of the bunch. He is basically the human white flag.

badia, caicedo and broja are newcastle's best players today

even if we equalise here - which we won't - this bunch of losers and chokers will bottle this for sure

maatsen and mudryk on is basically throwing the towel
