It's a shame that this match was passed by Newcastle because they really failed to maximize playing against a club whose performance was far below them.
The match ended with 1 point for both teams which of course although this is still quite good but it's a shame for Newcastle because they could have been more than that.
Their mastery in attack dominance and possession was very good but Leeds also played very well in this match even though they had to lose 1 player in the last minutes but they were really good at maximizing 1 point against a club that was actually better than them.
Yes, unfortunately it is like that. Newcastle couldn't win against Leeds, I already guessed this would happen. But at least Newcastle didn't lose, because Leeds missed a golden opportunity in the first half through a penalty shot, if Bamford success to get a goal maybe now Leeds will get three points. But this draw is also not too bad for Newcastle, they are still in third place above Manchester United, although they have the same points, but Newcastle have an advantage from the goals different.
I was hoping Newcastle would defeat Leeds as well, but it was a dull game between the two clubs. I wouldn't say I'm disappointed with Newcastle; I just thought they could have done more. But that's football for you. But despite the game ending draw Newcastle doesn't have anything to loose since they are still maintaining there position. And Crystal Palace did well today played with confidence i was impressed.
My Chelsea family members should take note: even for next season, success is not assured.So let's mentally get ready for the worst while hoping for the best. That's for the Chelsea fans.
Lead City is trying to avoid relegation zone, it is safe to say that the match was fair for them to open the match with a goal and close the match to equalized with Newcastle that was priviledge with a penalty. Newcastle should have done better though, but I think Lead City played well in the first half but all went under the water in the second half, Newcastle rule them throughout the second leg.
Chelsea can improve next season but first, they need a tough manager that would be under pressure to bring the players into form, they should also add more strikers with good track record that can make them proud, they will improve no matter what has happen to them this season.
Both Leeds and Nottingham Forest can very pleased with their results, when you are either of those two teams and you win a point in a game against Chelsea or Newcastle, you would think that you have some advantage over your opponents also trying to get away from relegation zone. That both teams played against top teams (Chelsea should be one, but isn't these days) and a point was won by both of them is quite telling what's going on right now. Newcastle is going astray again and Chelsea is doing what they have been doing the whole season. Manchester United is a winner this weekend because that was an important one right now after losing two in a row.
