Ayew, Doucouré, Guehi and Guiata worked hard and earned us what was a bit of a fortunate point. Olise looked good when he came on. Wilf went back to looking disinterested (although he was constantly tripped, stepped on, pulled and pushed with little from the ref), Eze totally off his game. If Newcastle had more quality they would have won that. As it was they looked like a £150 million Burnley with long balls, set-pieces and balls flung into the box. That will be effective though against many teams, especially when they don't have to play the diving midget. As for us we need more fight in games like this as Ayew and Cheikh can't do it alone in midfield.

A bloody stressful game to watch. Certainly not at our slickest but I'm pleased that the back 4 and Guaita got the point they deserved for their hard work. Our subs eased the pressure on us a little but I would have liked to see Hughes come on to add a little more industry. Schlupp and Eze fairly anonymous today, can't afford to have that in the premier league. Ayew constantly gets slagged off, and I get that he's not our most exciting player, but he put in one hell of a shift and helped relieve the pressure on us by winning fouls. He managed to get himself a lot more involved than any other attacker today. 12 games to identify a proper partner for Doucouré... who I thought was again excellent today. Valuable point... and well done VAR!!! No idea how they disallowed that goal!

You speak complete bollocks. What an unnecessarily rude post.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Has excellent ability but is never near enough the action to use it. Wilf and Olise often double marked yet Eze still can't find the space? He reminds me very much of a kid back in school days who was very skilful, yet lazy as f***, and who would never dig in when the going got tough.

Happy with that. Tough place to come and a hard team to break down. And the Geordies are well p’d off which makes my day complete

That could be the point of the season. I have to say Wilf wasn’t in the game today and gave the ball away. Edouard looked better than he has been recently when he came on. Hate to say it but we miss Kouyate. I think him and Doucoure in midfield would give far more licence for Schlupp, Eze Ayew or Olise to attack. I suppose we have to wait for Jimmy Mc to come back or give Hughes a go. Agree, should be 2 deeper 1 free, in the squad we have, but they all gave 100% and we were well organised, when we made the 3 subs i had the dread we were going to go 5 at the back again.

On the M1 stopping for a McDonalds…reflecting after the game…. Echo what basically everyone has said….grateful for the point. Newcastle is a very intimidating ground…50,000 supporters screaming, shouting, contesting everything….I wasn’t sure I would get out alive…they were fuming about the VAR decision…and we obviously obliged with some soothing songs :-) The subs changed the dynamics of the game…easy to be critical…but…. We didn’t lose and move on to our next game… Nice to see us playing in our home kit. Was not sure at first, but starting to like it!

That doesn't reflect the game as a whole. We had two 10 minute spells where we looked in the ascendency but aside from that it was a bit like Dresden with balls being dropped in on the defence. I think about 4 or 5 of our shots on goal were pretty tame too. Also, wait for Shearer's tears on MOTD about the disallowed goal. Scrappy game, but I do think they edged it. We seem to encourage teams to cross the ball into our box and then act like chickens being fed bananas ..every time they attacked I hid behind the sofa.
