We contained Newcastle first half when we had Martinez in goal. I thought we had a good organisation and solid performance in the first half. It was a disappointment to lose a penalty and by full time 4-0 scoreline.
In fact, it was somewhat disastrous. And it was unacceptable to me that the players failed to get a single shot on goal, which is not acceptable in competitive football match.
Perhaps I'm being stern as Buendia, who was very busy in the first half, had several chances to score but was just about stopped before he could score. I think that happened like 2 or 3 times.
It was frustrating how Wilson was able to score his second goal because say Ings had such a chance, he too, would have also scored. But we lacked a defensive line of substance in that second half and little thrust in attack.
No shots on target, not even a corner.
Penalty decisions goes against us, Almiron worldies scored and Martinez getting injured- didn't make any luck today.
Danks but no Danks.
Over to Emery.
