As Fraser never had the ball and Cancelo was away, that's effectively what it was. A foul in the penalty area is a penalty. It's that simple. It's not true that you have to be in control of the ball, and I don't get why it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper was off his feet Contact was waaaay off the ball Any pressure Fraser could have applied or advantage he might have gained was effectively nullified It's a penalty all day long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd quite like to see opposition players against Man City, in their next game, just start flooring City players all over the pitch whilst off the ball. I'm fairly sure Pep would agree they wouldn't be fouls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 In Howe's defence - the fixture run they've had - how many points do expect this shit show to get against man city liverpool etc? Don't get me wrong I want these pricks to lose every game until the end of the season, but I don't see what many other managers do differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be right, he could get a win every now and then and that's all they needed this season. I wont be happy until they are properly down mathematically.

Nah They have 5 points in 7 under Howe so they've seen a bit of improvement compared to the 3 points they got from 8 games under Bruce. Their best spell probably was the 3 games where they didn't have a manager and picked up 2 points Ediie Howe was a dreadful choice thou. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 20, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 Their penalty shout was so obviously a penalty it's not even worth a discussion to be honest. Very possibly the worst decision of the season 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Playing behind closed doors would probably help Newcastle without the fans expectations on them. I do think Howe was the wrong choice for the circumstances as he can't organise a defence at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The defending is what is letting them down, it's atrocious. Unfortunately, Howe is not known for his defensive abilities, so I doubt this will change soon. Warnock ripped them a new on SSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Howe seems a crazier choice each week. Wasn’t know for organising a defence and they are shipping goals at an alarming rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
