SiJ Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 They were lucky to still be in the match by half time. We should have been at least two up, possibly three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 They will go up this season but Rafa has not produced the promotion runaway train that most of us expected with the resources at his disposal. Be interesting to see how he fairs back in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 tbf it isn't his job to praise us the sycophantic questions helped him I would have like to hear: 'Well you were lucky not to be 3 down at ht and Wednesday have done the deserved double over you - just how good is Carlos ?'

Mountain Owl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nailed on to come straight back down unless they invest heavily of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 We deserved to win the game, simple as that! They were lucky to be 0-0 going into half time. I thought Shelvey was brilliant for them but the rest of the team looked lethargic and didn't turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Just now, Mountain Owl said: Nailed on to come straight back down unless they invest heavily of course. I kinda disagree with this I think with Benitez they have a manager to take them back to the top half of the premier league. Like all premier league sides these days, they will spend money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 he has always been a bit of a joker. Re: his performance in general, I was saying to all the Newcastle fans that he was overkill and that he wouldn't be worth the money. Any football coach could get them promoted.

You see if you go off that performance then I'd completely agree. Thing is I think they have some really good players. They'd need additions (everyone does), but I could see them just about stopping up next season. Will have to play better than that though. They were quite one dimensional imo.

Greengrass Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 WAG's don't like the north east so every chance they will come back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 He actually says 'we controlled the game for 15 minutes from the start of the second half' which, in a 90 minute game, is pretty crap! They had a mad 5 mins at the end too, otherwise, we were far better throughout. Their high pressing game early in the match actually did us a favour & made us up our tempo.

Lawrie Madden Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I thought that interview was fairly balanced if from a Newcastle angle Everyone said we deserved the win and we did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Pleased op posted this as was gonna make this post myself. Thought he was quite arrogant actually and gave us very little praise in what was a good performance. I agree at half time 2-0 would have been fair and in all honesty I think they got away without a drubbing as 2-1 flattered them. If we make the play offs I honestly think we are the best of the sides in there now that we have our big players coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumboldowl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I like the style of the metal badge that Benitez was wearing on his lapel, it reminded me of a military cap badge - designed to show ones affiliation to the cause. We are all affiliated to the cause and should have a similar one, like the one over the main entrance, (not quite as large or we would all have double hernias and have difficulty passing through the turnstiles).

bradowl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Apart from a little spell just after half time I thought Newcastle were very average if not poor. We should have had game won by half time. Goal they got was from a Westwood mistake, ruined an almost perfect performance from our keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 His views are spot on. 2nd half they were looking dangerous until the 1st goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland were quite recently thinking about locating all their training and other facilities in the SE, probably Surrey but anyway somewhere easy into London, and simply flying to the NE for home games. They've identified location as a recruitment barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almy20 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Agreed, I posted this on the match thread we should have been at least three up by half time but, again, it ends up squeaky bum time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
