Too bad for the Newcastle champions league competition to have come to an abrupt and short end, I really hoped for more after that Joelinton's bullet, but that's "How a cookie crumbles - Hhampuz, 2020"
I told you Newcastle United didn't have the players to advance past the group stage of the UCL, but you guys called me mad man
Players to advance past group stage ? Would you say AC Milan and Dortmund both have players better than that of Newcastle ? I would strongly disagree on that opinion, Newcastle might have lacked the experience for playing in Europe but not the players, and Newcastle are injury plagued, while the couple of players that returned are still not at a 100% match fitness level, but I don't quite agree that an AC Milan squad that is playing its attack with Leao, Giroud and a Pulisic that couldn't make a name for himself when he was playing in the premier league are better than Newcastle best attacking options without any injury crisis.
Both pulisic and Giroud are multiple European champions! Thats where the experience comes in. Respect
Yes, Dortmund and AC Milan have more experienced players than Newcastle United! The only surprise was PSG's equalizing and sending AC to the Europa; everyone knew Newcastle wouldn't advance from their group. They sold you guys false dreams with the only win against PSG ( the only good game they had in the entire fixtures)
Taking about injury; check AC Millan list.
Regardless of experience, there is always a first time first for everything, and from AC Milan injury list Kalulu is about the only player there that can be considered an integral part of the squad or a regular starter, Newcastle were a tad unlucky yesterday because they were the better team, in my candid opinion..
