Carabao Cup - Semi Finals 1st leg ** Spoilers ** [24th - 25th January 2023]

Was impressed by Southampton tonight in the 2nd half. Play like that they have a chance of staying up

That's the thing. It's going to be hard to finda player with Longstaff work rate but with better quality finishing.

Think he's one of the league leaders in line breaking passes.

He should be in double figures for goals man. He works hard and finds himself in good positions but it's not enough in the premier league. He's bang average imo, not good enough for a top half side. I don't like critising the local lads but I think that's half the problem with Newcastle fans. We are too soft on them, if he was called Jean Grosstick and from France we'd stick him in the reserves

Jean Grosstick

Pope has conceded two without conceding now. This and the Fulham penalty.

Is that 9 clean sheets on the trot?

Assuming Southampton don’t score in the last 10 minutes, of course.

10 in a row according to Sky stats. Decent!

Don't need to tell me. But his workrate is vital.

Our number 6 spends more time rampaging up the pitch and more often than not its Longstaff that drops back to cover.

A more specialised DM would maybe free up Bruno to move to 8. He's been vocal about moving up the pitch also.

They never convert that level to the league though

Pretty Impressed with Jones interview.

 

[adam cool dude]

Luke Shaw out sick. More than likely got food poisoning from Greggs.

 

[SPG]

You Reds.

Nottingham, Nottingham, Nottingham.

2-0 Forest (last minute 2nd goal just as a safety net to shut up all the commenters)

It really is great to see Nottingham Forest back in these occasions. The ground and fans are fantastic but you're getting battered tonight. We got to put the fright down to those oil slick magpie's .

Rashford on fire at the moment

 

[JamesH85]

He's unstoppable. Joy to watch him.

 

[Shamikebab]

Got a little lucky but great finish

 

[robfosters]

I find this version of Rashford extremely annoying

 

[adam cool dude]

That was unreal. Rashford is just becoming so strong.

 

[nemtizz]

Hilarious defending and keeping.

 

[mid_gen]

Definitely flattered Rashford that one, comedy defending.

 

[fez]

Surprised we still aren't seeing Sancho back on the bench yet. Poor Eriksen is still getting flogged as well. I know the drop off from first XI is stark but the guy needs a rest. Hopefully we can start resting players later in this game. Bring on the likes of Mainoo, Garnacho and Pallestri.

 

[shipinabottle]

That was a tidy with his left and nice to see his composure. He's looking a lot stronger than he has done for a long time though which is good to see.

That said... it was terrible defending and a bit of luck fumbling it through - Rashfords usual attempt at playing it through a player.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Anthony need to step up and do that more often, at least try to.

 

[adam cool dude]

Anthony need to step up and do that more often, at least try to.

He has the talent he just needs to keep his feet on the ground.
