Need a result against Bournemouth, we have to start picking up points. Luton and Everton are playing pretty well right now.

Luton, really on it.

[Gargamel]

Far from ideal start.

[The G Kid]

Dismal so far.

[Gargamel]

Unlikely !

Hopefully we come out fired up in the second.

Bournemouth don’t look all that so far.

If he ever needs an autobiography title MGW could call his book, Misplaced Passes.

I also thought MGW was poor today. Maybe having Reyna will cause him to buck up his ideas.

Williams was an odd choice for me to start today, i just don't think he is Prem quality. Tavares also poor mostly (especially that shot in the 2nd half!). Looking forward to having Aina back, and i would also persevere with Montiel on the right. I thought Yates was also not great today, and was lucky to have Dominguez playing alongside him (who I thought was awesome!).

Brilliant finish from CHO but i'm still not convinced by him.

Oh dear, we seem to have lost that home town, city ground thing we had last season.

Ugly game.

Actually really enjoyed the game, apart from the result.
Though Elanga was awesome today.
Nuno needs to sort out the defence, not sure what the answer is. Love Murillo but the centre pairing is somehow too weak. Maybe better when Boly is back?
Felt we missed Mangala today.
A draw would have been a fair result.

Thought we played fairly well tbh although still need more shots on goal. And goals obvs..

[JurassicGTS]

Couldn't really fault Sels for any of the 3 and he can certainly use his feet better than Turner.

[JurassicGTS]

Hmmm! Probably should have stopped the 3rd.

[2HFL]

I thought you guys deserved a penalty at 2-2, your attacker couldn’t have put his leg down anywhere else, so the Newcastle keeper fouled him for me!

Seen then given for far less. Oh yes Rashford against us!

Just watched even Shearer agrees a penalty.

[Gargamel]

If we are in front of the panel for Financial Fair Play and they want to give us a points deduction. We should argue the Refs and VAR this year already have.

[Hackney]

All the focus on the penalty that wasn’t has been on whether the keeper fouled him or if he stumbled and was going down anyway.
For me the defender gives Awoniyi a shove in the back and there’s a trip which cause the stumble and the the keeper puts his arm out too.

100% should’ve been a penalty.

My other gripe about the officiating is that Newcastle’s tactic at set pieces and even on open play is to use blockers. And I know that’s been done before but there’s are active rather than just being in the way.

Look at Gordon on Elanga when they take the short corner. Elanga would easily have closed down Tripper if Gordon hadn’t fouled him.

And for their third Dominguez is flattened off the ball.
