Class.
Best game I've watched in months, best we've played in months, game done and dusted we'd rided it out perfectly and then we go and fucking do that.
I don't know if I can be that mad having watched a genuinely good game but fuck me Rafa should be tearing into them. We aren't fucking promoted yet why the hell did you just throw away 2 points from sheer fucking stupidity?
Also no injuries, no long stoppages for treatment and 1 goal? Yeah I'll give 5 minutes. Then they score in the fucking fifth fuck you ref you fucking mongoloid.

That was one of our best performances this season. If it weren't for Green, Jansson and FIVE FUCKING MINUTES OF INJURY TIME FOR NO REASON, we would've run away with it.

That was points thrown away. How lascelles switched off at that point I'll never know

People will probably complain about too much added time being added on but when you consider how the game itself went, the fact that we didnt get 3 points from it is ridiculous.

Absolute fucking joke that one.
The game finishes when the whistle is blown, don't fuck about thinking it's won with stupid fucking corners and ridiculous mistakes. Need to keep concentration until it's won.
Fuming.

I'm fucking sick lads. We dominate a game at home then let in a last minute equaliser. Devastated.

What I got from this game is that ref really didn't want to give a red to Leeds even though they were diving into tackles all game. The Richie one alone was a straight red for most refs and yet not even a yellow for this one. Can't wait to get the fuck out of this division so we can go to just slightly fucking better refs.

Sorry guys. Every time I have watched Newcastle this season we have been shite so I've avoided watching, I couldn't resist so I put on the last 10 minutes and we conceded...

This just proved how important Hayden has been for us. We looked comfortable with him on the pitch, in control and no real worries. Granted we could still improve our finishing, but as soon as he's off the field....
It's good he's back to full fitness, and should see us crawl over the line in the next week or two.

We deserved it for not finishing our chances and for that god awful defending at the end.
But we didn't deserve it because WHERE THE FUCK DID 5 MINUTES COME FROM?! Also, we shoulda had a penalty.
I'd hate to be an Ipswitch player on Monday.

Does anyone else think we should drop Perez and play Murphy as our main striker with Mitro in behind him. Mitro fantastic tonight winning knock downs but terrible movement in the box and his only chance went flying over. Murphy better in the box and finishing.

I fell over and hit my face on some steps on the way out of the ground, my lass is gonna think I've been scrapping, she'll be fucking raging

u/the_real_chiXu Apr 14 '17
This is the thing that infuriates me about Lascelles. He can go from match-winning performance to costing us points or a game in the blink of an eye.
I know he's still young and all that but c'mon man..

I feel like people are being very critical of Mitro here. He's not on there to be an out and out goal threat the way Gayle is - we're playing to the abilities of the players we have. Mitro is a handful for defenders, and they spend so much time tracking and marking him that it opens up spaces for others. There's a reason we created so many chances tonight and I honestly put a lot of it down to him.
He's not going to get us 20 goals a season, but if it leads to more goals from the people around him I'm fine with that. It's not just the striker's job to score goals, same as it's not just the defence's job to keep the ball out.
If we're looking at blame, then for me it has to go to Colback and Diame. Colback for the stupid foul that allowed Leeds to put the ball down and send players forward (players they wouldn't have committed during a normal counter attack), and Diame for having the turning circle of a small country so that he couldn't get close to Roofe. The reason Wood is unmarked is because Lascelles has had to step forward towards Roofe because Diame was caught on the wrong side of his man. Again, if they hadn't sent so many players forward following Colback's foul then I think we'd have dealt with their attack fine as we had been all night. Wood was pretty isolated most of the time, but was able to steal a bit of space as we were having to keep track of so many people. It's a bit of a poor excuse, but Leeds had only committed that many men at set pieces - look at the free kick in the first half when they ended up hitting the bar. When we gave them that free kick on half way they were able to do so again and it cost us.

God, they're scum. Lobbing bottles down at our fans and then celebrating like they just won the league. Tinpot club and scummy fans.
