***Newcastle v Treble Winners Official Match Thread***

2nd half we need to fucking shoot not take a fucking 20-30 passes across the area and lose ball

[Mase]

Doku been shocking losing possession today

He’s great against Bournemouth and Huddersfield though eh

[john@staustell]

I think Walker needs to come off. His head is not in the game. If the stories in the papers about him are true, then I don’t see how he can be in any mind to play today

I thought she threw him out 5 months ago?

He needs hooking. Nearly every Newcastle attack is coming from him losing the ball.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Also kovacic can be hooked. Properly out of his depth here.

[Beefymcfc]

Are we playing with a defence?

[gmercer1]

Lewis for walker
Grealish for doku
KDB for kovacic

[blues2win]

Something very wrong about our defence. No problem in making chances although we miss too many. Obviously Kevin has to come on but how to do that without leaving ourselves even more open to quick counters. We’ve always defended very high which is risky but we’re not getting away with it at the moment.

How the fuck can baldy play Walker who has been dire all season along with his off field problems !!

Agreed but that's the flup sideto him running at their defence. We were all over them leading up to our goal. Need to get in and reset at HT. 2-4 this. Newcastle are shite

[Dubciteh]

How frustrating.

We played well, got the goal and looked like getting a second. They were beaten, then kovacic tried a back heel at the corner flag which gave them a half chance and ortega pissed about with a kick and then all of a sudden they had belief when there was none. Lo and behold they score their next two chances. We are way too complacent, clear lack of focus and lacking a killer instinct.

Big second half. We lose this we can say goodbye to the league. We have done well in parts and not so well in others.

If Doku stays on they'll score again.

[blues2win]

Playing full back up and wide suits Grealish better than Doku.

[sheblue]

Crazy first half. We will need kevin on.

Both Doku and Foden have been holding the ball too long and getting caught in possession , when actually going nowhere

[s1ty m]

Defence is a total shambles. Doku is an impact sub, not a lot more. Grealish brings more control, which would be helpful in this utter shit show.

[john@staustell]

Playing full back up and wide suits Grealish better than Doku.

Exactly right. Bizarre set up. Doku needs to be outside left when playing

[blues2win]

Walker did get an assist for Bernie although the goal was far more about Bernie than the quality of the cross. For the rest he’s been shit. I don’t like him playing way up.
