Saint Matty 76 Posted 28 August, 2021 Author Posted 28 August, 2021 I can't believe we're not winning this game. The problem is they can't be any worse and it's yet to be seen if we can play/score in a second half. Djenepo is simply not good enough.
OttawaSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Hopefully that’s not all we had and we’ve saved some juice for the 2nd half. I’m a bit concerned about the play of Romeu and JWP but it would be brave of Ralph swap one out for Diallo. Get at them early and perhaps get Tella on for Moussa or Ely on 60-65 minutes.
NewYorkSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Solent commentators a little unfair on Djenepo. Thought he was clearly offside for the first skied miss. On the second he shot twice but was blocked both times. Great to see Ely playing well. that seems like a total bonus for us. 1
jamesfp1 Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Frustrating. Won't have an easier half all season. Played well despite Romeu trying his best to ruin every good spell.
whelk Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Can’t complain about that first half performance but Djenepo WTF. Still can easily see us conceding but we are such a better side than them. Romeu needs to sharpen up 1

He was onside, they showed it on stream. He also had a clear shot of goal (on his strong foot) which he turned up to turn back and get a shot blocked when the defenders had got back into position.
Convict Colony Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 oriels brick shaped foot is still making its appearance again huh. how he graduated from la masia with a touch like a conference centre back is beyond me.

But had he shot first time it would have been really hard for the keeper to stop it.
benjii Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Djenepo wasn't offside so it's a terrible miss. Also missed another good chance. Livramento needs to release the ball better. Too greedy in the dribble. Adams a bit slow today. Romeu big weak link. Messed up a number of good positions being caught on the ball. Having said that, we're by far the better team. I'd like to see Dialo for Romeu and Broja for Adams later. Also Tella for Djenepo at some point. Not being in the lead is criminal really after that 45.

Criminal for a professional Premier League footballer really!
Teddeer Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Please tell me this is not going to be another shit show at St James Park where we hand them 3 points on a plate. We should be pissing this. Too many long range shots early on when a pass would have been a better choice. Let's not throw this away because Newcastle are absolutely dire.
markr27 Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Can see Saints fading and/or falling behind here.
whelk Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Livramento is worth £30m. £5m looks brilliant business

OttawaSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 (edited) We look like a much better team than them but they have a couple of guys that are real game changers. We don’t really have that. We have to graft hard to win whereas they can get away with an off day but St Max smashing in a screamer. Edited 28 August, 2021 by OttawaSaint

Micky Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 I've got the t shirt for this game, unfortunately.

But with the game opening up we have more opportunities, provided we keep strong at the back.
verlaine1979 Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Adams showed a bit of strength at one point, but aside from that we got very little from our front two that half. Ings always seemed quite good at reading a defence and finding space as the game went on - hopefully Armstrong has that in his locker too.
John Boy Saint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Blackmore and Merrington are in full Waldorf and Stadler off the Muppets mode. Hoping after the first half performance that they don’t have bloody long drive home after the second half………..again! 😂Blackmore just referred to Bruce as Mr Potato face!!😂
OttawaSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Was just about to comment that this has been Ely’s best EPL game and then he floated a cross straight to the keeper...
OttawaSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 All comes from JWP shirking a 60/40 in the middle of the park.
AlexLaw76 Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 That is why we are a good bet for relegation 1
HKsaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 (edited) Starting from Peter Walker lost the possession unnecessarily. He should have passed to Adams. Edited 28 August, 2021 by HKsaint
bangkoksaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Not sure why anyone thought anything else would happen 1
CB Fry Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 ...aaaaand the same old story. At least we didn't have the false hope of being in front.
obelisk Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Predictable. Saints midfield beaten too easily.
OttawaSaint Posted 28 August, 2021 Posted 28 August, 2021 Wtf were Stephens and Salisu doing though. So ball achingly predictable. Newcastle total shit and we got them the points.
