wykikitoon 20902 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Last night we played some really good football at last! Duff was great, Martins was Nobby was etc etc We let in two goals but we had potential to score a couple more ourselves too! I have spoken to a few lads here at work and its like we have let in four, why? We are winning and we are one foot in the next round. We have to go to AZ next week and think like its 0-0 thats it Come on guys!! We are WINNING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think if we had went 2-0 down and then won 4-2 I think the overall feel would be a lot different. I thought we played really well and it was an excellent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well said, I feel very positive following last night's result and performance, there were many plus points, but having supported Newcastle for this long, you know its never a forgone conculsion, had we won 4-0 lastnight it would be a different matter, but the truth is AZ have a strong foothold in the match thanks to their 2 away goals.

Albert Kirkey 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 We might have caught them on a off night, but from what they'd been touted as, I wasn't impressed with them. I reckon we'll be alright, but Newcastle being Newcastle we'll probably make it more complicated than it really should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I love the fact everyone now talks down the opposition we have played on our way through the competition. When the draw was made most thought we were out on our arse and labelled our section as the "Group of Death".

When the draw was made most thought we were out on our arse and labelled our section as the "Group of Death". Aye I thought that, Celta & Fenerbache I thought they were both hidings, yet we meet AZ who yes have played well in their league and domestic cups (from reports) but on evidence last night are more than beatable. Their keeper is mad and their back four make ours look solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastlebroon 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 the fact is, martins will continue to get the space he did for his first goal when we go over there, and if we are finishing like we did last night, we should walk it tbh, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 They've got to come and get two goals and with our pace I fancy us to grab one or two atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9910 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't think it is real negativity. If you look at the predictions most people will be pleasantly surprised. As I said directly after the game, a two goal margin is a good starting position and we are clear favourites now. But we are far from through and AZ do have still everything to play for. They only need a 2-0 win. Let them score early and will become a very nervous encounter. That's why their second goal hurts so much and diminishes the positive feeling. But the first half showed what the team is capable of. I want more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Someone did say in the match thread that AZ were slight favourites after that result. I think thats the sort of negativity that is being lamented. AZ being favourites to go through is 1. Not what a single bookmaker in the world thinks and 2. Is retarded negativity. Of course its possible but what is probable given their home record in europe against inferior teams, is that they will concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am optimistic, but still slightly worried. I thought chances were 50/50 ahead of yesterdays game, but now something like 70/30. I can't the fear of a Lisbon feeling out of my head, although this time we don't have a tosser in charge feeling the need of falling out with one of his better performers for absolutely nothing.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I was only dissapointed with the penalty. If we'd gone there 4-1 up then it would be tie over. 4-2 makes me nervous for two reasons. 1) We ALWAYS find a way to cock things up. 2) Roeder said he wants us to defend and counter meaning it's going to be painful and heart in mouth stuff. Plus, we're crap at it. We're much better having a go at teams, like last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 We might have caught them on a off night, but from what they'd been touted as, I wasn't impressed with them. I reckon we'll be alright, but Newcastle being Newcastle we'll probably make it more complicated than it really should be. We already have to be fair, whether it was a penalty or not is debatable, but the real issue IMO was how they scored it. 4-1 would have been not problem, but 4-2 makes it iffy, 2-0 to them isn't impossbile even if we played them off the park.

Missed Sticks 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 They'll stick to form and overplay at the back. They're crap when pressed high up the field. If we start defending deep it will be a difficult time for us. Still, they've got more to fear from us than we have of them i reckon, the players just have go out with that attitude.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3996 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I was only dissapointed with the penalty.

Plus, we're crap at it. We're much better having a go at teams, like last night. This is my worry. Roeder returning to the long ball. When we kept the ball on the ground like Nobby advised in the paper we were awesome. But when Rodders made us play hump ball we were shit again.
