NUFC vs Arsenal

[Zippity]

That's a massive blow, losing Tino.

Bugger....bloody Merino, had to be.

They'll be favourites to win this now. Howay, lads, get into them!!

[Zippity]

And another cartel decision on the handball.n

[MidsMagpie]

Thiaw has been immense today

[PhoneymcRingRing]

Yeah I felt that was going to happen

[PhoneymcRingRing]

That all came from Pope?s stupid kick out.

[MidsMagpie]

That all came from Pope?s stupid kick out.

Just hold onto it then roll it out.

[OwdBillCook]

Well. Hero to villain........
Pope is a hell of a shot-stopper. BUT..........

Ah, crap. What a bugger. Thought we might win, then that a draw was a fair result

[Marat18]

We never looked like scoring.

The players might think the same way, so they prefer to protect the lead rather than kill it off with second

[Ragatino]

Sickener!

The lads threw that one away. Poor game management.

Points that need to be addressed.

1. VAR actually got the Arsenal's penalty shout correct. Regardless of what the media clowns say. Pope got a touch - Not a pen. If he didn't get a touch - 100% Pen. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS FFS

2.Gabriel went down softly for Nick's goal. He then should have been off for slapping Nick round the head in the 'off the ball incident'. VAR no where. Inconsistency. Gabriel should have been sent off, there is no 2nd goal if that cheat is off the field.

3. The foul on Tino was extremely dangerous and could have wrecked the lads knees. Ref... Not even a card. One again inconsistency. No Protection for the players.

4. Lascelles very lucky not to see red for putting his hand across the Arsenal players face. It's not good to see that level of grappling in a dangerous position.

5. The team was far too passive and Arsenal certainly were the better side for most of the game. Disappointing. They're gonna have to get their act together or it's gonna be a tough ask to remain competitive at the top end of the table.

6. 1-1 in extra time. The accuracy as to be exact. Pope punting the ball forward was ill-advised and lacking of composure.

7. Elanga's shot hit his feet before the hand. I'd love to say it was a pen but it was off another body part onto the hand. VAR suddenly got something correct... for the Cartel side. Quelle Surprise!

It was in the lads hands and they just didn't manage the game at all well towards the end. Tired legs perhaps but Naivety certainly player it's part.

Joelinton going off for Barnes, I get. Go for the win but weakening the midfield ended up conceding the strength the team had enjoyed through out.

Eddie will have to shoulder that responsibility... On to Brussels.

The commentary just sickeningly biased. It's absolutely the worst thing about it. I loath the knowing tone of those pr!cks.

[Jammy89]

That was just **** the ending.

Just knew it would be that prick as he shouldn't have been on the pitch.
