We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Champions League game between Newcastle and Barcelona.
Here are some of your comments:
Jack: There isn’t one Newcastle fan leaving St James’ park tonight without a hoarse throat – mine’s on fire. We can absolutely get something over in Spain, Yamal shouldn’t be playing that game though! The referee had an absolute stinker! HOWAY THE LADS.
Lee: Absolute gut punch at the end, all Gordon had to do was hold on to the ball and try and run it in the corner, our game management – once again – comes back to haunt us.
Davey: To a man the Newcastle players did themselves proud. We can talk about game management, should we have gone defensive, should we have gone for a second goal, all week. But either way we went up against one of Europe’s giants and they just snatched a draw. Another Eddie Howe masterclass! It’s all to play for in the second leg!
Kris: Newcastle were great value today and looked threatening throughout however…the ending summed up the frailties of the team and game management reared its head again. We can beat them in the second leg and should not fear them.
Si: Another game with a lack of cutting edge and taking our chances. We’re playing good football, and seem to have a good understanding of how to play as a team. It’s that final ball, that top level touch and thinking in the final third we’re missing. I would have probably taken a draw before the game, but after seeing the way we played feels like we missed the opportunity to go there one or two up.
Paul: Very good performance but to make it great we have to manage the game to the last second. Keep the ball, keep it up the pitch, walk it into their corner like Shearer used to do. If Barca didn’t have the ball they couldn’t score. We gave them the ball. Still in with a chance, but on worse odds than it should be.
Larry: Absolutely brilliant performance by the lads, with an out and out striker could have won easily. One mistake, not seeing the game out and settling on1-0, bring on the second leg.
Farhan: Fantastic but boy, do we miss Isak. Could have been three or four by half time.
