Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Many emotions.Truly awful first half. Absolutely wretched stuff and this is just.. it's a pattern man. We are consistently awful coming out of the gate. What is the deal with that? Good team on paper but they look utterly lost time and time again.Then.. we woke up, stole a goal thanks to Reece Beckham, and looked mostly the better team in the second half but still fortunate that they did not convert two huge chances. The ref had a mare but did not screw us on two big calls so its not all bad but ffs.. I've never seen more tactical fouls go unpunished or just bad calls made in general. The one late on for Caicedo falling into a player while playing a pass where we would've had a 5 on 3 was absolutely deranged stuff. Lots of really, really bad stuff here from the ref. It made it a very annoying game to watch. No one bar Enzo F to come off the bench. The SDs man. Where did the money go? A really positive sub could have turned this into a 3-2 win. Garnacho wasn't great and Neto was pretty ineffective. Just not enough quality in this team a lot of the time and we continue to fall further into what is a total dogfight for top 4. Only what, 1 win in 5 in the PL now? EM needs to shut the hell up and get this team humming before whining to the media because that is BAD form.

The engagement farmers were right. Our strikers have been unbelievably poor when starting as strikers. Reece James though... what a stud. Lucky to still have him around and FIT - genuinely thought he was crocked.. but that guy never stopped working, never stopped believing. That takes guts. Our captain.
