Shakhtar didn't look too rusty last night!

They cruised their group - D-W-W-W-W-L, only lost the last game to Rapid Wein because they had already qualified (the only points Rapid Wein got in the group). Finished above Leverkusen who are one of the best teams in Germany this year drawing with them away and beating them 2-0 at home.

I think this may be a tougher tie than we expect!

Decent side alright,just think if Newcastle bring the intensity Pardew said they would, we should have too much for them.

In saying that, seeing the lineup has subdued my confidence.

Metalist look a decent side

M5

Obertan... useless

M5

Linesman... oh dear

BetterCallSaul

Cisse cannot get a break.

Yeah, that's happened at least twice this season. Can't be easy to take when our in a poor run of form. Seems like everything is going against him

BetterCallSaul

Welcome back Tiote.

M5

Spill glaringly obvious which players aren't doing it for us. Cisse failing to finish, obertan and Jonas wasting good positions out wide by failing to get the ball into the box

There will be a red in this game

M5

Papa having a great game at the back for Metalist!

M5

We need to start playing corners short... clearly a waste of time putting it in to the mixer for us

cadete

poor decision on the offside, look good at times, but as it has been said wasting possession on the wings would like to see ober in particular gettin it into the box early,

TaosHum

Strange game, first goal will be crucial. Both teams are committed to attack and leaving some big openings.

As for Newcastle, M5 has already pointed it, same problems going forward. No end product from Jonas or Obertan and Cisse unable to finish.

Jonas has actually done well since I criticised him

M5

What the fcuk are they at now?

M5

Tiote should be walking down the tunnel

TaosHum

Tiote should have seen red there

cadete

would like to see this hadiera guy come on and push santon up the line, more pace and better delivery from him

M5

Another waste of an hour with over tan in the side

TaosHum

Really impressed with Mbiwa's defending

cadete

we've no threat this half at all..... hopefully pardew will shake things up soon

Moneymaker

OH COME ON!

M5

No fcuking way

BetterCallSaul

2 good goals disallowed. Joke.

M5

Disgraceful refereeing

bazual

He scores when he's off,
He scores when he's off,
Papiss Cisse,
He scores when he's off....

M5

This is as bad a refereeing performance as I have ever seen. Shocking

Moneymaker

I say this without hyperbole, but this is some of the worst officiating i've ever seen. Beyond a disgrace.

TaosHum

Awful officiating tonight.

The hits just keep on coming....
If I had bet on a draw we would be coasting this...:rolleyes:

M5

My money is on a Metalist offside winner

bazual

First decision he got right all night. What a dive....

M5

Well the ref has most likely cost us the tie... figures

M5

Ah come on...

Moneymaker

Cisse is cursed. Unreal. He honestly could have had 5 tonight.

bazual

What a chance to win it, he couldnt hit a barn door with a banjo at the minute unless he is offside.

BetterCallSaul

Ya have to laugh

He scored twice tonight to be fair. Should of had 5 though.

TaosHum

Don't fancy us getting anything out there next week, especially with Southampton a few days later.

Very frustrating night.

M5

Video fcuking replays fcuking yesterday. "Perfect refereeing" my hole

cadete

nil nil not what we wanted but clean sheet is a plus

will be interesting to see what kind of side we field in the return leg with Southampton on the sunday

bazual

True, but that's just his luck at the moment. He hits it straight at the keeper far too often for me but tonight he just had no luck along with the rest of the team. We really need HBA back for a bit of creativity in the final third.

Moneymaker

I think we played alright. They never really troubled us and we could have easily had 3-4.

BetterCallSaul

Not the end of the world if we go out tbh, because we wont get by Anzhi in the next round anyway. League is priority until we get the magic 40.

Are we on TV on Thursday, I'm assuming we're on a 5pm kickoff given the match in the Ukraine.

Kickoff is at 6 and its live on ESPN, but due to contractual issues, I don't think it can be shown in the ROI.

Correct.

Don't think we're live on any channels. ITV are showing Spurs and Liverpool. Same with 3e I'd imagine. :rolleyes:

PauloConn

Really??? What contractual issues have ESPN got with ROI??? We're fans too.....
So updates on SSN then.
Boo urns.

It's been like this for a few years now. I think it's because Irish channels are showing the game simultaneously but that's not the case with Newcastle games unless Setanta Ireland are showing it.
