In the first 10-15 minutes they were.

I'd swap a winger for a midfielder. Need to get hold of the ball.
We aren’t playing that much differently to normal. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be losing, but pretty much everything that could go for newcastle has gone for them in that half.
We’ve ridden our luck a lot this season and won games we shouldn't. This is the football universe righting itself.
We haven’t been terrible. We just haven’t been lucky.They weren't. I counted 6 free kicks before their goal that weren't.
Think you might be somewhat partial.
What kind of dickhead came up with this thread title?
In Shady’s defence, Gordon was just given a freekick for being fouled by his teammate.
I would normally defend Chicago, because he is a legend, but this thread title was asking for trouble.
Livramento just got booked for winning a tackle, so it goes both ways.
That has been coming. Newcastle have been letting us have the ball and challenged us to have a go at them, and we have responded well to it.
Gordon throws himself to the ground and rolls around 3 times. It was a foul but fuck off.
Newcastle have been so sloppy in possession around their area. Criminal we haven't taken more advantage
In the Tyne!
I ended up feeling a lot better about that game by the end. Could easily have won it.
Certainly salvaged a bit of respect
It was a weird one. Could’ve been 6 down at half time yet we almost nicked something. And we were on the rough end of a fair bit of luck - deflections, dives, the bundle into Yates at the end - that on another day might have turned it our way.
Still think we’ve almost become a parody of ourselves though. It’s ok setting up to play in the break, but in 3 of the last 4 we’ve been really passive and allowed the opposition to just dominate us.
