Interesting to read these BBC sports comments, and lost to Newcastle United with 2-1 against Barcelona.
Neutrals’ comments that mainly tell …
Much of the other than what fans of Newcastle United had expected from the BBC Sport ‘Neutals’.
The BBC Sport remarks of neutral in the past were overwhelming a catalog of abuse aimed at NUFC supporters.
Especially things about the Newcastle United owners and the media-inspired Pile-Ol who have become used to that NUFC fans have become used when the blame is given to who their club now owns.
On this occasion, politics absent, instead concentrates on things on the field and United losing …
The BBC Sport -readers comments Van Neutrals, no Barcelona fans, but the strange Newcastle supporter also contributes to:
‘I felt that Newcastle performed well and the tactics of creating early chances with pace and almost turned his fruit. Was always decreasing return after the first 20 minutes, but the general display was very good, albeit with a few sloppy last balls as legs tired. However, Barca’s midfield is pure class. ‘
‘Before the game we were constantly fed the line that the midfield of Newcastle was pure class!
Apparently the best in the Premier League?
Apparently not! ‘
‘Do you know that tonight’s game was not a Premier League match? Newcastle’s midfield is pure class and perhaps the best in the competition. It is a measure of the possibilities of De Jong and Pedri in particular that they dominated that battle as the game progressed. ‘
‘Barca not at their best but good enough. Cracking goals from Rashford. Newcastle gave it good, but does not have the quality to go with the trouble. ‘
‘The Newcastle matches against Barcelona and PSG do not decide their fate and they are easy enough to get 11-12 points from the other 6 games. Good luck I say. Utv. ‘
“It agreed, this was a free hit and Newcastle might have earned a draw to be honest. The other matches have been friendly and many points have been offered against other non -seeds. ‘
‘A worse team than the current Newcastle side with much less depth on the bench had bad luck not to win 1-0 2 years ago in Paris, with a very controversial VAR-Penalty decision deep in the stop time that it relegates to a draw.
After a scary defeat against Barca, with confidence and fame that improves the new signing sessions in beds, there is no reason why Newcastle cannot get any results there. ‘
‘Starting Gordon at the front was really astonishing. Eddy dropped a clanger there. ‘
‘Not really, the games are thick and fast and large Nick will not last every 3 days. The team has to rotate. ‘
“Starting Linton is also absurd.”
“His name is Joelinton. Not Joe Linton. ‘
“He takes care of the new boy and does not exercise him too early. He knows what he is doing, this is not his first rodeo.
If you are looking for someone who blames this situation, blame Mr. Isak, not Eddie. He might have been a differential if he had made several decisions, instead he is an anchor around Liverpool’s Nek for the time being. ‘
‘Whether it is Newcastle of Manchester, United fans feel pretty ill tonight. Great game Marcus. ‘
“What is it with players who played for Man United who played better when they leave the club.”
‘Seems pretty clear – less media and fandruk, able to play with more freedom.
But of course the commentators who always complain when there is an article about Man United, never have a chance to make it about Man United here. ‘
“People talk as if there are no media or busy in Spain, especially playing for Barcelona or Real.”
“Maybe Rashford tried harder, something he didn’t do at Man Utd.”
‘Newcastle buy a center ahead with height that can keep the game, but I am a bench for Gordon that is not an attacker. Barca grew up in the game and scored 2 great goals.
Barca’s defense has not really been tested. Elanga took away who your biggest threat was.
Strange tactics by Howe.
Felt with Elangas Pace and Woltemade in the front that you could have caused Barca problems tonight. ‘
‘A 0-0 would have been honest and nobody surprised who had carefully viewed the first half.
The header against a concealed marker aside, a team with the quality of Barcelona has several players more than able to score a worldie from nothing in a certain game. Newcastle also has one or two, in honesty. But statistically, you would expect that Barca would win more such games than Newcastle. ‘
‘Posting Antony Gordon in the front instead of a striker for which you have just paid £ 65 million is a very strange decision. Gordon is useless as a rush. When he starts Woltemade, he has the chance to grab the game early because Newcastle started the game. To be honest, it is astonishing how people can make such schoolboy errors in such high -profile positions, including referees. ‘
‘Exercising too much pressure on a young striker who made his debut in European football – not only Champions League – would have been an even bigger mistake.
Woltemade will not go home tonight and blame himself for the defeat, in fact his share in Newcastle’s goal was considerable. Howe knows what he is doing, that’s why he is a Premier League football manager and you are … whatever you are. ‘
‘Newcastle was trained tonight. Barca -Middenveld showed Bruno and Joelinton that you cannot bully games at this level.
It was a pleasure to see Pedro, De Jong etc. Looking, giving a master class about keeping the ball, passing perfectly and dictating the pace.
That say – when Newcastle was at the top, they had the opportunities to win the game.
Great game to watch, but Toon needs more quality. ‘
‘Barcelona held the ball well, but did very little with it until Rashford became impatient and stepped.
Then they almost threw it away at the end by getting Pot 4 Newcastle a late goal, making it an unnecessary Nervy period of added time for them.
They would expect to do better against pot 4 teams in terms of goal difference, but probably understand that Newcastle has sown too little. ‘
“Sorry, but pride and passion do not win football matches.”
‘Are you talking about fans of Newcastle who support their team and enjoy football? Strange comment. ‘
“I don’t get it. Proponents of other English teams are happy when a rival loses in Europe. I support them all. Why do you think we have an extra CL place for this season? ‘
“They are just one or two ‘supporters of other English teams’ and they mainly come from that entitled North-West cluster.
I think that most football fans like to give Newcastle their best wishes throughout the country, of what I have read in reactions. You have to filter the loudest, most arrogant voices, they disqualify themselves. ‘
‘Redemption for Rashford. He was mistreated because he is well mannered and God saved him from that sinking ship! ‘
“Waste went to Ireland and missed training, had a good season and got a new contract and was waste from that moment.”
‘Newcastle is about the standard of your average championship team, as has so far been proven by their 4 league games this season, the Golf in the class between them and Barcelona is ashamed of an early Champions League exit, just like 2 years ago, followed by a relegation struggle on the cards …’
‘You see … the idiots and haters here are brainless. We are defeated, no problem !! Barcelona a great team, no shame there. Isak Saga is over, come over it and continue! We just had a fantastic night in the Toon Stadium, with real home -grown fans. Our colors are not running. … .. tone ‘
