No. Isak was fast, made good runs and was a danger. Nunez is just odd. He runs into some awful positions for a striker. But the general hold up play and linking today was non existent but we worked his little socks off bless him. Btw chiesa is back playing u21s tonight on his fitness journey. The sooner jota gets back the better.
Interesting from Slot We are hoping and expecting he can continue this for a long time. He was outstanding in the second half, he did many special things for us." Good news about the contract?
The rigours of the Madrid and City games caught up with us, although its always a tough place to go to. Ref was appalling from start to finish, and a point is what we deserved. Puts more pressure on the Derby.
We almost managed the smash and grab. Salah brilliant again. Kelleher fluffed his lines although it was from a play resulting from a free kick that was never a free kick. Referee trying to be star of the show, card happy but just for us. Funny that.
I'd have bitten your hand off at halftime for a draw. We were ****e, but credit to Newcastle - they dominated the midfield. The worst game Gravenberch has played this season, and Jones was non-existent in the first half too. Joe and Quansah were garbage, and that's the third time Kelleher has done that leave thing - this time he didn't get away with it. And wtf was the idea of taking Gakpo off and leaving the inept Darwin on? Derby is a must-win now.
Psychological as much as anything imo. An "easier" game after two massive ones, and we subconsciously took our collective foot off the gas. Start off too slowly and it gets really difficult to gain momentum. A bad team performance and a number of poor individual performances (the worst so far this season from several) all added up. Salah didn't deserve to be on the losing side, but no-one else deserved to win.
Can’t forget that fans were well up for it from the off. we talk about anfield atmosphere under the lights and how it’s a 12th man we’ll same can be said about st James’ park. Always trickier place to go in those games rather than a sat 3pm
I've said before, this feels like a make or break season for him. And it seems to be heading towards break. There's a number of attacking options out there the next two windows according to the rumours. Gyökeres Xavi Simons Rodrygo and Guler (suffering the Mbappe effect) Marcus Thuram Semenyo
All goalkeepers make mistakes including Allison I can see what he was thinking and the finish was accidentally superb so move on.
There are massive rumours machines going with some real click baiter sites talking vvd and salah contracts imminent. They are all guessing
It was pretty strong last week for VVD, so the hope is his one is tied up and they've been finalising Salah with the view to unveil at the same time. Slot's words certainly seem to indicate they're going no where.
Vvd apparently been offered new deal but not matching expectations. Slot prob stoked the flames on Salah yesterday with his comment about expecting him to continue for a long time.
