Newcastle 2-1 Fulham EFL Cup (A) - 17/12

[Twig]

Playing poorly...but, we wouldnt be in this round without his heroics last time 

Heroics? Let's not go overboard. He conceded a fairly soft goal in regular time and made two saves in penalties (one of which was not terribly difficult).

Against Wycombe Wanderers FFS!

You still have to save a penalty whoever takes it. If you want to be critical then blame Marco for not picking a team capable of beating Wycombe in 90 minutes.

Exactly it's a penalty. Which Really can go either way regardless of opposition. Not like he conceded multiple goals and was the main reason we found ourselves in that shootout

Do Find it rather strange how insistent some people are on going out their way to talk down or discredit our own player even when he did well. To what purpose? Guy saved 3 pens which ultimately kept us in the cup.

By the same token, not sure why some people need to go out of their way to make more of it than it was. There was nothing "heroic" about his performance against Wycombe.

It bloody well was. He dominated that shoot out and demoralised Wycombe.

ITV commentators talking about us like we're here to make the numbers up, where do they find these idiots

Someone said this game will be a battle for midfield domination.

Lol

Because I'm a Fulham supporter...clues in the name 🤣

And because he saved THREE penalties, 2 of which were in the corners that got us through to the next round, it's not that deep calling it heroics in a passing message.

Jesus man ya hell bent on negativity about this ,let it go.

[ron]

[Twig]

They are comprehensively outmuscling us.

[Deeping_white]

Get Raul off he's absolutely fecked

[Twig]

Nice touch from ESR

[jayffc]

Ooof unlucky from ESR great movement to make the chance

[SerbianLad]

A bit better in the last 5 or so minutes

[SP]

Pleased that ESR looks to be enjoying his football this season

[Twig]

Lecomte, Kevin and Raul all need to be replaced soonest.

[SerbianLad]

We need some subs

[SP]

Woldemade might be able to nick us a goal

[Twig]

We need some subs

Asap

[jayffc]

We need some subs

Yeh it's probably time

Newcastle being active whilst we just wait to concede it feels like...squeeky bum time

King, Adama, JKA, Castagne , there are options there that could help the attack against tired legs

[ron]

Fresh legs required now. Don't leave it later...

[Twig]

FFS Fulham, retain the bloody ball!
