wrong line up i thought .. but the ref in my view didnt do his job ..okay we lost but johnson should of been sent off .. and he missed it ...he also gives foul s for sheilding the ball ..i have never ever seen a modern day ref do what he done today bricking it now ..never seen us defend as bad as this ever ,,goalkeeper has to be looked at aswell thought he was at fault for 2 today .. remind me of hardwick the bad times ...
No excuses. Can't blame officials. Didn't think the Johnson thing was that bad to be fair, just a silly scuffle. Pards made poor decision re line up and the players were shocking.
No, we can't go blaming the officials here. That would only start to deflect where the blame should be going.
But they didn't know what they were doing. Sissoko out of position for the umpteenth game in a row, this time "wide right". Jonas looked as free of confidence as I've ever seen him - it's just rinse and repeat for what Pardew did in wasting so much time with Obertan. Cabaye didn't seem to know what he was doing either and we played with two DM's who didn't really defend but offered fck all going forward either. I just don't think Pardew knows what to do anymore. Oh, if only Di Canio had still be available. What a club like Newcastle could do with some fcking passion right now.
the johnson thing was a second yellow all day long ..like the yellow jonas got and the firast yellow he got .. as i stated before ..just my view he should of been off. he set the pattern the ref ..then bottled it. the sissoko sheilding which was good modern day play . ..i just thought like igiving up . cause the fookin bloke doesnt know football. what a dumb prick he was
Agree totally! The ref (and linesmen) were a disgrace today. How come he blew for a foul on virtually every tackle we made but then let most of Liverpool's go unpunished. He set a precedent when he booked Debuchy and Sturridge when they had handbags, then he bottled it when Johnson and Tiote did the same thing. I'm not saying it would have changed the result but it would have meant we weren't humped so badly. If it comes down to goal difference at the end of the season, it'll be down to this game.
Can't blame officials for first 5mins of game,goal was inevitable and was all over after that,did Cisse ever threathen?
No. Bottom line is we were shockingly poor and they were up for it. They deserved the victory. We didn't even turn up.
The ref and the linesman on the Milburn line didn't help matters though. Things happened right in front of them and no action was taken.
Even if we had scored we're always vulnerable to quick incisive moves as proven today and have to say it lads Taylor ain't good and we have to take off the Geordie glasses!
