This was up there in the top five of nightmare Newcastle United scenarios nufc
I’m not gonna lie, this has knocked the wind out of my sails.
This game was weird in many ways. I think we’d all have accepted defeat if it brought positives ahead of next week’s league cup final. This was far from what transpired but even so the game was massive in itself, as a win would have cemented the Champions League place that will be 100% focus come what may after next weekend. Defeat and the ominous spectre of Liverpool snapping at our heels would become a glaring reality, as well as kicking the door open for an inconsistent Spurs.
The game started with similar verve, as Newcastle looked well up for it. There was one single positive to come from this game and it could be monumental. The reshuffled NUFC featured none other than classic Allan Saint-Maximin up front. Everything that followed was interspersed with destructive runs, fabulous dribbles and an awareness of the options in the centre.
This was a more likely VAR review as Gakpo looked borderline but once again there was nowt to complain about. Hopefully this has given some pointers for defending the counter attack ahead of the massive events of next week. This was up there in the top five of nightmare scenarios. Not only had Pope surely ended any hopes for this game but more importantly, the Carabao cup mission must now be attempted without one of our most important players. Bizarrely, this realisation was transmitted from the crowd, who welcomed Martin Dubravka onto the pitch in the lukewarm knowledge that his petty excursion to Manchester meant he would be unable to deputise when it counts.
Firstly, we need something of a storybook display from Loris Karius. The keeper remembered for a calamity performance for Liverpool against Real Madrid needs to have it in him to perform a redemptive story arc in what will be his first competitive appearance for Newcastle. You couldn’t make it up.
