Match Thread Newcastle v Leicester

[TornadoShaunUK]

Absolute embarrassment of a performance. **** knows how this is still 0-0....

 

[FOX Franks]

Confusing. A whole 45 minutes where we haven’t conceded. Anyone else feel uncomfortable?

 

[Graz]

Half time.

An xG of 0 for us.

But, as horrible as it is to watch... I think Smith's game plan is going to plan so far?! We've got to the break without conceding.

I just really don't know if it's the right game plan... A few weeks ago I'd say sure, but I'm really not sure playing for a draw is going to help us.

And Nacho and Vardy are already looking tired by the break if our plan is to go for it in the last 30/20/10 mins

3 thoughts,

1. Hanging in there, good as she goes
2. The referee's ****ed
3. Almiron is an ugly ****

 

[homer]

Literally just waiting for them to put us out of our misery

Abject cowardly surrender

 

[Brown Nose]

We lost ourselves for 5 mins there but generally a really strong first half from us in the circumstances.

Ndidi and Soumare doing well, especially Ndidi. The back three look organised and strong.

The wing backs are both poor. Iversen looking shaky as ****. Tielemans missing. Iheanacho doesn't look fit.

We have to stay in the game. We're doing that. The longer it goes on like this, the more we'll believe.

Well done lads.

Smith’s “plan” is working so far.

Of course it’s only a matter of time before they score.

Souttar has been a rock at the back

No way we can switch from this embarrassing mentality to actually trying to win the game.

I don't think a change of that extreme nature is actually possible.

But make no mistake, this is a game we have to win, don't and we're down.

 

[Bobbins]

If we get anything from this then fair play to Smith. Just can’t see what he’ll do now that won’t be disastrous. Carry on like we are - we’ll certainly concede. Mix things up to put a smidgen of attacking capability into things - we’ll deffo concede at least one and we won’t score two. I can’t see how we can come out of this with anything. Still - it’s a funny old game.

 

[Bobbins]

Ha ha ha, great just to see how actually crap Newcastle are, I am loving it. Yes we will lose but at moment they can't score against a championship team.

Eh?

 

[homer]

One touch in the opposition box in 45 minutes….

Tielemans should just be sent home now, really. His time with us is now officially over

 

[alex]

Those opposing that - you’re nuts! That wasn’t bad at all! Have you seen how Newcastle steam roller teams this season?

We’ve dug in and looked resolute for the main. Excellent.

You’re mental if you think we go and try and win that game from the off.

I’m actually not enjoying it but also enjoying it a little

Are you naked yet?

 

[alex]

Are you naked yet?

No, you said that comes at 71 mins with the Joey shin pads?

I’ve got oil ready

I do agree, but let’s be honest, it’s a tougher watch than accidentally walking in on your dad balls deep in your mum.

We are very lucky to not be out of the game.

Also it's all well and good but we have to win this, don't listen to these clueless ****s on sky sports saying it'll be a good point.

Quite how we go from 1 touch in the oppositions box to a winning mentality I don't know

 

[M17TT C]

The plan is clearly to hold out for the last 15-20 mins and then make the changes and go for it.

Or just try and hold out for a point and hope Everton don't win on the final day.

It's not pretty but we've look a lot less like letting a goal in compared to Everton, and Fulham obviously.

It's shit, but effective so far.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Holy shit, it's half time and we haven't conceded!
