***Newcastle v Treble winners EFL Official Match Thread***

I think Nunes and Kovacic can play double pivot. Can’t imagine Phillips will start against the Arse away.

Foden for Alvarez . Pep has gone fucking mad. He aint too bothered about winning this one

[john@staustell]

Pep get off your arse and start shouting

[CTID Hants]

Foden on and guess who is on his shoulder cunt linton

[blues2win]

Foden on for Alvarez.

[Indianablue]

We have been shit tonight, and worse than that we've been boring

[Nick]

Foresaw this in the summer when we downgraded our second 11

[quote="Nick"]No striker now?

Fed up with grealish after a summer on the piss[/quote

Doku on the left , devastating and creates numerous chances with a goal thrown in .

Grealish on the left - ZERO goal threat and shite end product .

[nottsblue]

Very poor game

We have shown very little going forward and can only recall two efforts on target

[Nick]

Joelinton massive massive twat

[CTID Hants]

Foden on and guess who is on his shoulder cunt linton

And there you go the cunt

[Indianablue]

Joelinton should be in the book for that body check

[Nick]

Doku only one making any of this game watchable

[Indianablue]

So Phillips gets a full game and we have been shite . His greatest strength of being an old fashioned stopper in the middle faded to nowt when Newcastle decided to play. Absolutely shite tonight. Did Pep ever want to win it once he found out they travelling by bus?

[gmercer1]

Have to be the worst team in the prem for time wasting. Bet they don’t add anymore on to the 6 mins

[johnny crossan]

given it away

[CTID Hants]

We've not had a leader on the pitch from KO, only Doku has tried creating anything this second half.

Pep had made his mind up before KO to let this one go.....

[branny]

Not that arsed losing this tbh.

Would rather go out 1-0 tonight than end up with a fixture pile up with the World Club Cup coming in December.

More important game is Wolves away at weekend.

Kids have got some game time.

Concerning we have to rely on Philips next couple of games. who shouldn't even be on the Bench.Hate singling players out but he is awful.He runs around like he has a Washing Machine strapped on his back.So slow,creates nothing. Rodri going to be a big,big miss.for us.Utterly shite player.

This. Had we made the last 8, the qf is played the week that the first team squad are in Saudi for the WCC so chances are we'd have been up against a decent team with 11 kids on the pitch. Bigger fish so to speak.

[Sideshow Bob]

phillips dogshit as per…no surprises there. more disappointed in grealish tbh. hasnt progressed one iota this season or really since he arrived.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Totally controlled the first half with our reserves. They put their first team on at half time and score. We put a couple of first teamers on and controlled the game from then on. Considering our injuries, the fixture pile ups the carabao would cause us this year, I'm not down or annoyed and thought we played alright.
