The ref just cut the head off of Liverpool's defense much like the Newcastle owner once did to a journalist.

Can anyone defend that red card? It looked pretty obvious it was a red.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah definitely looked a red to me

Yeah definitely a red, went right through his planted foot. I feel like he had time to go behind his foot and still get the ball, but I'm just sitting on the couch...

Nah, I definitely would've gotten to it without a penalty. Easy.

In retrospect, VVD's sending off really galvanized the team.

The opening 20+ minutes, shapeless midfield, TAA errors, misplaced balls and runs, was a sorry sight of a 'game plan'.

Having the captain, the reliable, the rock of our defence sent off (rightly so), really pushed the mental state of the team to make or break. Knowing how lethal NUFC can get, they held off to HT, and came on in the second half with a belief of not making a mockery of the club.

The tactical changes were made, and on the day we needed him to put 1 in the net, Nunez put it in twice, TWICE!

Pep twice
