What really £#%&!ed me off wa sthat big galoot Burn trampling all over Rashford's heels, his boot coming off and the ref waving play on, Neville giving it the 'ref is letting the game flow, no soft ones being given' only for Newcastle to collapse and get a FK whenever they felt like it They were smashing through us every time, we were clearly intimidated by it frustratingly/annoyingly, leaving a foot in etc. then collapsing under the slightest challenge when they had the ball. Ref bought the lot. |

I'm not sure a single player in red put in a tackle worthy of the name all game, or any force into a 50/50 tbh. Just limp and soft throughout the team while they were battering us at every opportunity.
Of course, our players know they'll be booked or sent off at every conceivable opportunity, which makes it more difficult, but you can't let that stop you from competing ffs. |

Newcastle are riding the crest of a wave since their takeover and currently everything is pulling in their favour. United, Liverpool, Chelsea and spurs having very up and down league campaigns has left the door open for them and fair enough they've walked through it. But their over the top enthusiasm gives way to outright giddiness a lot, the scenes yesterday, coupled with the comments from Burn after the game, the huge displays of flags and general Cup final feel of the entire event won't last forever. Everyone gets their turn in the barrel and pretty soon they'll reach their ceiling under Eddie Howe. The fans will now expect this every season, so rather than playing to a fan base who are just happy to not be rubbish any more, they'll be expecting top 4. |

It's not about putting in crunching tackles, you have to be brave on the ball and pro active without it. Our forwards were wasteful, the midfielders were all running around like headless chickens leaving gaps everywhere and at no point did Weghorst even remotely get near touching the ball so we could even build something. |

They have a ridiculously high opinion of themselves, yet their behaviour is small time. Laps of honour, gawping at London like yank tourists, those bellies and you even had Shay Given talking about the club giving the city a real lift like they’re some sleepy rural village on a remarkable cup run. They’re average as £#%&! too. Well drilled and intense, but no real quality. If they do make top four (which I’m far from convinced they will) it’ll be largely due to the failings of others. They’ll never get chelsea and Liverpool as shit as this in the same season again. Let them have their moment. They lose the main one and I’d still bet decent money we’ll finish above them this season. |

Tbf, Guimaraes and Longstaff are much, much better midfielders than the 3 'midfielders' we had on the pitch.
Bruno and Sabitzer are number 10's who can run around a bit and I've no idea what The Scottish Player is at this point. Newcastle overpowered us and put in crunching tackles at every opportunity. You need to meet it and earn the chance to play. We don't. |

Have a job winning both of those. They don’t do well with two games in a week. If we can grind out a couple of wins this week, we’ll be right on track again with players to come back. A shit run of form for us, but we’re still well placed and I think we’re a better side overall than both them And Spurs. |

Him and Martin Tyler sounded like they were sat there with black and white shirts on, practically egging newcastle on the whole game. |
