Southampton(1) 1-2 (3)Newcastle - League Cup Semi Final - Second Leg

[Millbrook Saint]

Shame the manager lost the game in the first half with the selection and tactics

[Saint86]

Bree's superb technical crossing ability on show there... 

[AngusHyd]

Bree has had a fantastic second half, fair play to the lad. 

[coalman]

COYR!

No defending Jones for this one. All on him. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Isak time wasting.

[adrian lord]

So much time wasting and disruption 

[SNSUN]

Sadly game was over a long time ago. We have the makings of a top first XI but there are some iffy squad players. Keep everyone fit that would be in the first XI, back to 4231 and we could do things. But not tonight.

[Saint NL]

Bazunu up, maybe he's a striker after all

[Saint_clark]

Corner was given at 92. Let's see if he adds on the right amount of time.

 

[coalman]

Ref just going to check what Eddie Howe wants him to do here.

[obelisk]

More training on how to beat a 'keeper when one on one is in order. Those two chances missed over the two legs will be the difference.

[Saint86]

Last time Newcastle made it to a league Cup final was 1976 at least... 

[Sheaf Saint]

Get him off the pitch FFS!

[adrian lord]

It’s not taken long for players to learn to play the concussion card has it?

ERdozie just had to get his head up and pull it back to Adams

That's the problem with the lad, he doesn't get his head up. 

[Archers Road Stand]

Manager forfeited tonight's game with the starting 11 and he will take us down. Joke appointment from shite owners. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Shot ourselves in the leg with that horrible selection at the start of the game, can’t let that slide no matter how well we’ve done in the 2nd

[coalman]

Odds on the ref blowing up on 97 minutes exactly?

[adrian lord]

Lavia. 

[Pamplemousse]

Nathan Jones should be sacked, this was a big game and it really, really showed he is out of his depth at this level.

This deserves more recognition

Jones out. Unforgivable selection. Winnable Cup semi final that we chucked away.

Agreed but the league is more important and he's doing a great job at that 

[Sheaf Saint]

It's high time the rules around concussion were changed. If a player goes down supposedly with a head injury then they should be taken off the pitch instantly for assessment.

That would immediately stop players from using it to waste time.

There's been about 30 seconds of football since 90mins.... Ref should add a lot on the end

[Saint_clark]

Championship cross there.

Missed most of this due to work. How did we do?

[Convict Colony]

Ok I am gonna say i think Bree has done well on his first game in a division above with a team with significant issues, i liked what he gives and he would look better with better forward players.

Why oh why does Jones start with a 5, we always turn up and play better when its switched to a 4.  Jones needs to sort out his set ups for games cos they and/or player mistakes are costing us. We cant concede 2 goals and expect our forwards to score 4 goals to win the tie, that is on Jones to solve.

Our new signings will be liking this - they can see why they have been bought and especially how shit our current forwards are converting good chances.

All in all, we lost the tie, in my book we should have had 2 more goals due to 1v1s missed but as i mentioned before newcastle spent 313.5m net in the last season and a half, hopefully our spending now just gets us out of trouble for this season and we can reset next season.

 

 

 

[Saint86]

Fair play to our away support. Out sung 48k geordies this second half.

You don't want to know.

But if Jones isn't in the job centre tomorrow then people won't be happy....

[imadirtyurchin]

For a manager with a nearly 50% win record it sure does feel like we lose a lot of games. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Sheaf Saint]

Well if you ignore the first 20 minutes where we chucked it away with a suicidal formation, we've won the game on the night.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Regrettable confirmation that (very likely) relegation doesn’t come gift wrapped with a cup win.

I know we’re still in the FA Cup but I wouldn’t be getting hopes up for anything other than complete disappointment come May.

Agreed, but blame IFAB for that, they’ve been asked to do on numerous occasions but keep saying son and insisting they know better.

That was a shocker. Bednarek did brilliantly though. 

[LeBizzier69]

I hope MU stuff these twats. 

[Saint86]

Have we had a shot on target playing vs 10men and a concussed issac? Have we had more than 1 shot on target this half. 

Anyone that thinks we played okay this half needs to understand that Newcastle just shut up shop. Manager threw this game with the lineup. Offered basically no threat when needing to go for it... Joke.

[Saint Fan CaM]

What top flight Manager doesn’t start his best players in an Cup Semi Final? Jones is a complete fraud and numpty.

Really really despise Newcastle, only behind Everton.

Wish we had shown more urgency in the 2nd half.

Shit first half which pretty much lost us the game. 

Much better second half but no cutting edge up front.

Thus maintaining our manager's winning stats.

Go back to work 

[obelisk]

Never recovered from stupidly giving the ball away twice in 5 seconds to concede the first goal. Good effort 2nd half but chances missed again.

[aintforever]

Jones fucked that with his 5 at the back first half shit show.

Has the commentator just ejaculated live on air?

[Toadhall Saint]

Far better 2nd half but the game was lost in the first 20. 🤬
