***Newcastle v City League Cup SF Official Match Thread***

We are really missing prime KDB. Someone to unlock a tight defence. Foden or Silva just aren’t good enough

Unfortunately Cherki is on the bench. Not sure why Foden is on in place of him

Baffling. Foden has been really poor since early to mid December

[branny]

With Doku's pace, why do we never play it in behind the full back? It's always into feet when he's standing still. Mix it up and keep em guessing.

[Indianablue]

Haaland isn't looking for the ball or challenging for these crosses. So congested in the final third we need to up the pace of our attacks. Ptretty insipid so far

[nottsblue]

City corner

Might as well blow for half time

[Mase]

Dog shit that

[Nick]

Id be tempted to take ake off for ait nouri

What is the point of haaland at the mo? Pissing me off. Sick of conversations where hes in the same bracket as aguero. No chance.

Semenyo needs to do more. Getting outplayed by a kid. Whereas doku playing well.

Pressing ok at least.

[HBlock Cripple]

Piss poor. Remember when we were an attacking threat?

[Indianablue]

Still think a draw or even 1-0 loss would be ok but i cant see it happening. If they score they'll get 2 or 3. Ake too slow, Nunes is just poor even in attack under no pressure. Silva and Foden getting their lines crossed and Haaland could have sat that first half on the bech. Semenyo's honeymoon over. He's stuck in a slow build team . We can beat this team but i think Pep can't change things around

Doku gets ball and instead of running he holds back, said that he has got behind them at few times but nobody getting in for the ball

[Indianablue]

Bored Bored Bored Bored.

I do not think I can manage watching another 45 mins of this shite.

Have turned to the Stella, to numb the pain.
Got carried away watching the Exeter match.
SNAFU

Helps if he could find someone. Wouldnt have thought a 6'4" lanky blond haired viking could hide but he's superb at disappearing

[Mase]

Hope Pep is banned again soon. Long Live Lijnders!!!

[nottsblue]

Get in Semenyo

[CTID Hants]

Get in Semenyo

[Indianablue]

Nunes clatters Bruno in the centre of the park and leaves a massive space behind him. Good break for them . Could have gone 1 down. How many chances does Nunes get from Pep and the ref.how long to hold this lead. SEMENJO!!! you beauty

[just sayin]

Great cross from dowcoo

[nottsblue]

Shades of Sterling and Sane there, one winger to the other at the back post

[ayrshireblue]

Just wondering whether it would have been better to bring in Semenyo straight away rather than let him play the two games for Bournemouth as we were struggling for goals.

[nottsblue]

Thought Bernie scored a horrible OG there

[Blue Jam]

Aa... Sevenyo!
