“WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEEGUE!” (sic!)
Another disjointed performance in wor 45th game of the season, meenz we have won just one oot of wor last 7 Prem games, and have lost 3 Premyaa Leegue games in a row at SJP!
Put it in simple terms, NUFC don’t have a proven striker to score wor goals and with 2 games a week for the last 4 months, wor thin squad looks absolutely knackered!
Evaatin’s away record iz much better than their home form at their new abode next to the Mersey river, where The Toon win 4-1 orlier this season!
Any hope of a Leegue double quickly evaporated when wor visitors took the lead in the 19th minute, from one of their set piece corners! (They’ve scored quite a few goals from corners!)
Garner’s corner heeded in by Branthwaite off the post at The Gallowgate End to give them a 1-0 lead!
Then, just 12 minutes later, we were level when a great Sandro Tonali pass, foond Jacob Ramsey and wor number 41 wellied the baall past Pigford ( hiz original name) who woz wrang footed from a deflection, to bring us back on level torns!
We were still celebrating that goal when, within 2 minutes, Evaatin were back in front, when a McNeil shot woz parried away by The Pope in The Toon goal, when he should have caught it!
It fell nicely to Beto who couldn’t miss with the goal gaping! 2-1 to them at HT
We came oot in the 2nd half and before the game had restarted, Jacob Murphy ‘ hoyed up’ on the pitch and had to be replaced by Joe Willock!
Both Waltemade (£69 million) and Elanga (£55?million) were in terrible form and were substituted for Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes, just 10 minutes after the restart! (Yoane Wissa (£55 million) aalso came on in the 75th minute for Trippier, but woz inafective az well) Those 3 costly summer signings haven’t produced the goods, for certain! £179 MILLION!
(Waltemade haz scored 7 Premyaa Leegue goals, Wissa haz scored ONE Premyaa Leegue goal and Elanga haz score NEE Premyaa Leegue goals!)😵💫
Just when it looked az though the 2-1 scoreline would win the game for The Toffee Noses, up stepped Jacob Murphy to hit a shot from 25 yards oot, which took a deflection off an Evaatin defender, to again wrang footed 🐷 Pigford (Name changed to Pickford by deed poll) to level the score again in the 82nd minute!
Again we were still celebrating Murphy’s goal, when Anthony Gordon dribbled roond himself and lost possession!
The baall ended up in wor box and a mad scramble foond 2 players and the BAALL in the back of wor net, within ONE MINUTE of wor equaliser!
To concede one goal straight after scorin iz terrible—but to concede TWO goals after scorin’ iz unforgivable! (Substitute Barry their scorer in the 83rd minute!)
Sandro Tonali aalmost foond an equaliser in stoppage time, but hiz piledriver shot woz somehow tipped onto the bar by their mackem keeper, to deny the Italian!
FT Lost 3-2
Again, the players were unforgivably boood off at the final whistle! Like the Brentfaad home game, where we aalso lost 3-2)
Something The Geordie Times haz never done!
We are SO FAR behind a Champions Leegue place, (12 points) that the anly way we will qualify for next season’s competition, iz if we win it this season! An easy 2 legged tie v Barcelona next in the roond of 16! 😱
Attendance: 52,167 (3,000 happy Toffee Noses!)
