Match Thread Newcastle v Leicester - EFL Cup QF

[Lako42]

Shit

Boring

Normal

I wonder if Brendan thinks his masterplan here is working since we’ve kept a clean sheet so far.

Well I do

 

[glyn]

118 minutes without conceding. With Amartey and Faes on the pitch for all of it. Huth and Morgan are back.

To be fair they had a longer run of clean sheets in November too. When we actually looked half decent defensively for a moment.

 

[City Fan]

xG of 0.07 in that half.

Play for another 7 matches at that rate and we might eventually score one goal

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Yeah but what about that spell he had with Burnley 12 years ago?

Guess he must have learnt to coach well and play players to their strengths.

Name’s on the cup, boys

If they were there tonight and had their boots with them it would be an upgrade.

Is it that low because Daka chose not to score? Baffling that shit and he should be subbed for that on its own.

 

[Rock Fox]

NFC must be shocked that it's still nil-nil, they battered us for the first 35 minutes. We're going to need a a helluva flukey goal if we are to win this.

To be fair if you don't shoot, you can't score so it's not that surprising

Aye. But as a measure of opportunities where you'd expect a goal.....

 

[homer]

They’ve spunked it

This is ours for the taking

Holy shit, we’re off again…

 

[popillius]

Great start lads.

 

[Graz]

They got through and should've scored within 45 seconds of the first half

And then same again within 30 seconds of the second half...

 

[Blue Maniac]

Hideous defending from Castagne.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

22 seconds and they’ve hit the post ffs

 

[homer]

Hideous defending from Castagne.

And he was the only one of the back four who was doing his job in the first half!
