Feels like we're the ones down to ten men. 

 

Which is an improvement over looking like we're playing with 8 men for most of the season.

I think so, Pope banned, Dubravka cup tied, and as far as I can see on their website its Karius and a lad called Mark Gillespie left.

 

Maybe they'll see sense and pick Gillespie.

They are trying to do it in ffp rules but if they lose that final and / or don't get top 4 that will be rule book out the window and they will spend, spend and spend in the summer.

we just dont control games anymore these are down to 10 and we still gave them chances i wouldnt be surprised if we gave a goal away

Am I right in thinking that Loris 'fucking' Karius will be in goal for Newcastle in the League Cup final?

Jesus. It's going to be another piss-weak surrender to go with their FA Cup finals of 1974 and the Nineties.

Tried their best to rule our goals out didn't they...and what the fuck was the 'offside check' as it was titled when shown on screen about with Nunez's.

 

 

Yes. When you can clearly see he's onside on the screen and STILL they look at it for a 'clear and obvious' error - it's insane. As I've said before, there needs to be a one minute limit on VAR checks. If you can't see an obvious problem in one minute, it isn't fecking there!

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Saint-Maximan seemingly occupying our entire back 4, giving them the edge for bodies on the pitch

[Rushies tash]

Jamie Redknapp thinks Nick Pope didn't mean to handle the ball when he came out..

Absolutely.

 

And the more you slow things down the 'worse' they look too

 

Clear and obvious not zoomed in and slowed down and rocked back and forth 25 frigging times

Give them a break. First, we're trying to start to play our way out of a nightmare period. Second, in doing that we're also trying to rebuild our confidence. Third, playing against ten men nearly always causes confusion for the other side, even when they're in better shape than us. And fourth, we've scored two goals and got the keeper sent off. Show a bit of faith!

[Josef Svejk]

It would help if our midfield would show some composure with the ball and energy without it. 

 

Doesn't feel like we have a man advantage because our midfield three does the work of two.

That is true, however as he was falling over he changed his mind.

[No2]

Ha ha ha Nick Pope. Take a tablet for your pretend head injury now you prick and hold on to the ball for as long as you want, he can hold for another 14 days if he wants.

No way would I weaken our side for the second half we are still showing glaring weaknesses and being exposed.

 

Well we didn't get the 3rd. I mean I know Newcastle away is a good atmosphere but as you say our ability to manage the game is shocking. We should be doing much better up against 10 and 2 up. Hopefully an early goal comes. 

[gkmacca]

We just need to pass and pass and be patient. Nothing more than that. Aside from fatigue, the barcodes will also start thinking more about the cup final than this. Just keep hold of the ball. It was fairly natural in the first half we didn't quite know whether to stick or twist. Hopefully that's been clarified at HT.

[niallers]

Hopefully the supposed adults in the dressing room can coalesce their thoughts and just keep the ball. Draw them out and don't commit too many men forward as, defensively, we're a shambles still. Get their front 2 doing doggies and tire them out. It ain't fucking rocket science. Dingbats the lot of them

Total nonsense from him.

 

It is a clear pull back of ball with hand when he realises it is going to run into Salah's path after it hits his head.

 

As obvious a red as can see - denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.

[waddy78]

I'd bring Fabinho off he's on a yellow and Taylor will not need an excuse to even it up.

[TheHowieLama]

It was a good save.

He's played well I can't see him coming off.

Ha! What’s the bet? Must be a decent one to be that specific. 

Liverpool win

Nunez anytime goalscorer

Robbo carded

Hard to believe how shite we've been since the red card

As good a pundit as he was a player, fucking wage thief!

Tyler losing his voice or crying.  Let's hope it's both.
