If this stays close until an hour or so, might be good to let Lamptey and Mitoma run at them when their defenders are tiring in the heat.

My only concern is Webster unnecessarily committing, he’s giving them openings out of nothing.
Decent first half, bit scary how easily they’re getting through us on the counter though.

Where being too sloppy and making too many mistakes, but that might be due to them pressing.
We look very good at times though, although they also look very threatening, be surprised if this ends goalless.
Their #9 has got the right hump for some reason, might be something to try and capitalise on...

probably the worst half of passing ive ever witnessed - must have been 50% of passes missed

No complaints there pretty even first half and very good refereeing. One goal or incident could decide this.
Anyone else think these kits clash a bit as well and that’s contributed to some missed passes from both teams?! Looks that way from my dodgy stream anyway.

Was the ball over the line from Solly? BBC text saying that we would hear a lot more about that decision.
Very close game.
Solid performance from all of the team so far, Lallana looking really good.

One extra player with real pace somewhere in our front line would really take us to the next level. When we break, we usually have to either check back or wait for support for too long.

Agree on the poor passing compared to normal. Especially the usually excellent Caicedo. Though Newcastle have played their part in causing SOME of that.

Goal decision system showed most, but not all of the ball over the line - oops, responded to wrong message

I think there was at least one genuine pass to the wrong team on purpose.

Here in the stadium they eventually showed the goal decision system indicate it didn't cross the line but was close, though.

On the s tr eam I’m watching, it looked like the tech might have glitched as the first go at showing a replay seemed to freeze
It looked it but I guess it was deceiving angles or something. It was interesting though that they waited a few minutes before showing the replay from the decision system and it didn’t seem to correlate with where the ball actually ended up (only showed as around a third of the ball over the line).

About 3/4 over! Trippier cleared it I think.

Wasn't over the line. Only 2/3 of the ball over.
