Newcastle 0-0 LCFC - Post-Match Thread

[Legend_in_blue]

We're now at where we were with 8 minutes gone in injury time in the Everton game at the weekend.

 

With what came 1 minute later, I'll take it.

 

It's not great, but we're at least forcing the issue for Everton to have to do something.

A bloody massive point! Excellent tactics by Smith. Just gotta beat a West Ham who will be saving themselves for the conference league final. 

And hope Everton do nothing....

not even try to win in the end.

 

Iversen didn’t care.

 

Ndidi, just fock right off.  You sat on your arxe and took 2 mins to walk off when we bloody need a miracle win.

 

Disgusting

You are joking right ?

Good news - Got a clean sheet

Bad news - Didn't win

The ugly - Need to beat West Ham and hope Everton and Leeds both lose.

A draw for Everton and wins for both us and Leeds would put us all on 34 points and keep us up on GD.

 

Futbol heritage.

0-0 At Newcastle is great result this season... but not today. Defended very well on positive. But we needed a goal from somewhere that didn't come until 90th minute! not enough. Out of our hands now. Iversen the biggest bellend of all your manager is telling you to hurry up and you take your time. Honestly my respect gone for that goalie..

woeful.. Everton win and we are done for

It makes it simple on the Weekend - we win, Everton don’t and we’re safe.

Everton only have to draw…. Against Bournemouth 

[ARM1968]

Can’t see us beating West Ham unless Moyes sends out the kids. Can’t see Everton not winning against Bournemouth. So, all in all a pointless point. 
 

Newcastle got what they needed. We didn’t. The hand is on the chain and we are about to be flushed. 

[purpleronnie]

Not sure how we got a point, but if everton don't win and we do...stranger things have happened.

 

[Pliskin]

Our only hope is that DCL, is injured. 
 

I mean come on, Everton aren’t going to go down? It’s impossible.

Why did they settle for the point? Just stood off. Madness 

I get the feeling that if they went for the win they'd have been torn apart by Newcastle. Rather a small hope than no hope at all.

[fazzyfox]

Worked very hard, didn’t concede, still not great belief in themselves but the likes of Souttar put a lot in which is the minimum but has been lacking. A bonus point, you’re not going there on party day and winning.

Have we lost Evans, Ndidi and maybe Nacho for Sunday 

[David Hankey]

Down to the wire then.

 

Win and Everton lose or draw then we stay up.

Everton have done this before, no way do they blow it. 

The Everton team has just as little backbone as we do, pressure on they could crumble.

We just need to do our business against West Ham.

[Gevans_97]

That is a point gained. We would have been smashed if we hadn’t gone that defensive. Not pretty football but it means Everton have to win on Sunday. First clean sheet in 20+ games. We played 3rd place in the league away from home! That’s not a bad result. 
 

one game to go. Get behind the lads and pray. We don’t deserve to stay up but let’s do everything we can for the boys. One to go

[adam]

Piss poor. Wasting time at the end when we need a win. Have these twats had a look at the table.

One shot on goal in a must win goal. No way are Bournemouth beating everton

Dont want to see anyone attempt to defend that. Absolutely disgusting. No fight, no effort, no desire. We had to win and we spent 90 minutes backs to the wall riding our luck for a draw. Heinous. They should all be ashamed.

Was there not more fight and desire in this game than there was at Fulham? 

 

We wanted to shithouse a win, and we nearly got it. It's not about 'defending' the performance. But if you can't see what the plan was then there's not really any point in discussing it.

 

Look how open we've been in several games before tonight. Of course we had to win, and we actually nearly did with how the game panned out for that Castagne chance. But had we played how we have for the past 15-20 games, we'd have lost. Simple as that. 

 

'If you don't win the game, at least don't lose it' is probably a fitting football adage here.

[Fightforever]

That Everton penalty miss would have kept us up. I can feel it now. With all the bullshit Maddison has been spouting this season it will be ironic.

Would've been a good result earlier on in the season

 

But at this stage with the table as it is we needed 3 points

 

Need to hope now that neither of Everton or Leeds win on the final day, and that we beat West Ham

Leeds can do what the **** they want if we win, unless it's by 9 goals more than what we win by. 

[OntarioFox]

Well done lads. That's the sort of gritty performance I questioned this lot even had in them.

Realistically we were always going to have to set up backs to the wall. The goal led a charmed life but every one of that backline deserves praise tonight. I thought Souttar and Thomas in particular put in a proper shift.

Whatever happens on Sunday, happens. We've just gone and made things a hell of a lot more awkward for Everton, and almost certainly doomed Leeds.
PIZZA TIME, NERDS

The tactic to simply kick the ball randomly up the pitch no matter what for 85 minutes away bizarre to say the least.

Everton will win.

That first 85 made me hate football a little bit
