Merino, he has some measure of composure

You wouldn't have said that before the game though, you'd have given Joselu the chance. 

Hopefully Slimani will complete the medical without a hitch and score the future penalties we're not awarded.

[beatty 24]

I for one don't want a donkey cunt taking a spot kick.  

[Dr Gloom 21809]

we're looking more threatening than we have in recent games at least

[ewerk 30238]

Let Darlow take the pens before that shitbag.

I would

[Chaser 1204]

Doesnt Perez usually take them? Cant have been any worse.

[Dr Gloom 21809]

i knew he was going to mss when that useless knacker stepped up to take it. 

[wykikitoon 19877]

It sounds like we're still on top though

Hindsight, I reckon.

we're playing like the home team for once. pressing hard, retaining the ball. we look hungry for 3 points

Well you would say that now wouldn't you

[wykikitoon 19877]

Kenedy sounds instrumental to a lot of it too

Looking back on it, yeah I think I would.

[beatty 24]

Had our chances, Burnley won't be this bad in the second half.  

 

Joselu can die in a dumpster fire.  Stealing a living. 

[Dr Gloom 21809]

should be ahead. burnley haven't really threatened.

Hes been decent, won the penalty with a good turn and took that shot on that hit the post.

Where the fuck are you getting that from?  As soon as it was given I was praying it'd be Merino (or feckin' Darlow) taking it.

 

Very poor decision from Rafa.

Think most people would give their striker a shot of scoring from the spot unless he'd consistently failed from previous penalties.

[Isegrim 9732]

To me the atmosphere sounded as people were holding the breath as everyone was expecting him to miss.

[adios 717]

You mean apart from every other Newcastle fan just then?

 

He's bereft of confidence, he's shown he can't handle the pressure.  It was fucking stupid.

bit generous, calling joselu a striker

Whenever that happens and we fail to capitalise we lose 1-0 In an abject 2nd half

[Dr Gloom 21809]

it was just as terrible a penalty as i imagined it would be. powder puff. i can sort of understand why rafa gave it to him, hoping it might boot his confidence, which must be rock bottom after his horror show of a season. i wouldn't have given it to him

[LooneyToony 41]

I was thinking the same as most of you.  Yes! a penanlty!  Oh, who's going to take it? 

 

Fucking Joselu, man. Okay, Mitrovic missed plenty of chances two seasons ago during the regulation stretch that helped sink us, but overall he's just a better footballer than Jose.  I think he could have helped us a little more this season than him.

i think you have probably read the script. a side as shot shy as ours needs to score when they're on top
