Geordies 7 fouls, no card.

 

Us 6 fouls, 1 yellow and a red.

And the yellow was for having the nerve of being annoyed for being blatantly shoved over.

Our owners deciding to weaken us and have a lower spend than Bournemouth was never going to end well was it.

 

This is what makes TLW so great -- players playing shit, Klopp tactical masterclass and refs fuckin us over -- but, the owners.

Anthony Gordon has got the face he deserves.

 

The only good thing about him is that he reminds me of Psychonauts. Hell of a game.

For over a year I’ve really looked forward to our games only to then find them tantamount to psychological torture. I’m pretty close to jacking this in.

Totally get the Diaz sub, he looked our best attacker no denying that but we need the hardest workers in there now we're down to 10.  It's often been one of the reservations about Diaz, that he doesn't help back as much as we need.

The officials having a shocker.  I don't know the rules anymore but am prepared to accept the red card if the rule supports it.  But that incident with Trent was terrible, totally unsettling.  He gets fouled, throws the ball back onto the field of play and gets a yellow for his trouble.  I'd love to see the rule that says that's a yellow card to the player who was fouled.

It was an uphill battle from there and every player on that pitch new it.

Gets the blood up at least...

Not really arsed about the Trent thing and the ref, to be honest. We were doing nothing in the game. No possession, not much pressing, no threat in transitions. It looked like we were going for a 0-0, honestly.

 

A couple big events went against us, but we just aren't very good. 

[niallers]

Getting that card rescinded last week was a finger in the eye to pgmol. They're getting their pound of flesh back and we'll be on the wrong end of a lot of 50/50s up to 70/30s in our favour in every match for the foreseeable.

How joelinton hasn't been booked is a joke. Getting spoke to normally means that's it but he's had 2 more since and nothing.

 

 

 

[BeefStroganoff]

One thing is for sure we are a team on the decline and Newcastle are a team on the up. Just the general attitude and desire of both clubs are stark.

[Carra_is_legend]

The refs have succeeded in making the whole club rethink how we are going to tackle and concede fouls. It's playing on every player's mind now. Going to be messy.

[claussor]

Stop blaming the ref. We are bringing ourselves in these situations due to poor players upfront and playing a midfielder as right back. We are incohesive due to Gakpo who simply are good enough for PL, Diaz who is a poor mans Robben ( very limited player except for cutting inside). Due to this we cant trap a ball and the opponents are having such an easy time evey game. 

 

If Nunes and Jota are not good enough to play instead of these two nu they should be sold.

 

We need a right back this window. Arnold should never, ever play rb again.

[Code]

So its a yellow if the arm is almost across the face now? Jesus fuckin christ

No. We aren't particularly effective or even exciting, nowadays.

[SilverSong]

Omfg I grew up watching football and loving LFC. I still love LFC but what the fuck happened to football. If thats a red then we are all better off watching bloody care bears.

[Captain Willard]

All this hysteria about corruption is missing the point. Trent us lucky to still be on the pitch then he gives away a Sunday league goal then Van Dyke fouls the last man. If the ref was corrupt he would have sent Trent off. There’s no evidence of anything other than we’re playing badly.

He certainly threw the ball at the player - he just happened to be on the field. 

Not what you want to see a few minutes into a testy game from your (now) Captain.

Two games in a row he has put us well on the back foot in a matter of minutes

[Alan Sex]

I wonder if the knock Diaz took to his knee early on was a factor in him coming off. 

[Elite]

Used to like Shay Given but the cunt can get fucked now. Gobshite toeing the Saudi line.

It’s been hard work since Napoli away last season when it was clear a rebuild was needed

We're boring and shit, and if we had a run of the mill Premier League keeper rather than one of the best in the world we'd finish about 14th.

It was a crazy reckless tackle. Don’t get all this corruption talk, it was a foul and a red. 

My arse.

[YNWAViking]

TAA is a local lad but that doesn't mean he cannot be criticized. He's been utter shit this season and has costed us 2 goals in 3 games. 

 

Can we buy a RB that is a great defender first, ball passer 2nd please? Should be a given but what do I know.

Don't agree at all to be honest. Get the point but we need so eone who can pick the ball up and run at people, pull off a bit of magic. Can't remember Mo beating a player on a run, or even out sprinting someone with a ball over the top for a while. Gallagher had him nearly every time in the opener. I'd have gone with Gakpo or Mo off. Nunez and Diaz in this as they'll hurt teams over the top better
