I’ve seen some bad referee displays in my time but Chris Kavanagh and his assistants are having a shocker. Villa’s goal offside, Lewis Hall should have been awarded a penalty and Digne should have been sent off before Bizot for a really horrible tackle on Jacob Murphy #nufc
@Ryan_Woolley Don’t you think they look shattered? Or am I watching a different game? It’s not an excuse. It’s just an observation. Mistakes have been made as I mentioned, coupled with the schedule.
🚨 That felt like a statement defeat for Newcastle tonight. A game they HAD to win, given the schedule and standard of opponents coming up.
🥴 Let’s be honest, the team are shattered due to the amount of games, it’s unprecedented.
✍🏼 But what appears to be mistakes in last summer’s transfer window has made things so much harder — they needed it to work, and it hasn’t.
😐 A really difficult day for #NUFC
enjoy the rest of your weekend”
Eddie Howe on recent results:
"Losing is such a difficult feeling. You have to deal with the defeat, put it where you need to put it and learn from it. We're trying to do that in a quick turnaround while acknowledging the strengths of our performances and also the areas we need to improve.
The main thing is the players entering the next game in a positive frame of mind. That's so important, so how we deal with each defeat we've had in the last week has been crucial to our success going forward."
@markmoylan@_ArsenalTeam No, that part is a great tackle. The penalty is when he lifts his left foot and trips Martinelli even though it wasn’t called, we still advanced….. hope this helps you cope
