Newcastle couldn’t turn possession and chances into three points at Selhurst Park. They take an away point to stretch the unbeaten streak in the league to 15 which is a club record.
No changes were made after a first-half stalemate with Allan Saint-Maximin doing individual warm-ups during the break. Newcastle immediately got the ball into the box but had their shot blocked and cleared.
Wilson had a crack at goal in the 52nd minute from a corner routine. Trippier pulled away after a short corner and whipped a delivery into the box. Wilson flashed his header straight into the waiting hands of Guaita.
Newcastle again sent an effort straight to the Palace keeper a few minutes later. On a break, Almiron peeled away from two Eagles and found Joelinton down the left. The Brazilian struck his shot well but it was straight to Guaita.
In the 64th minute, Palace continued to defend well but were conceding a lot of set-pieces. From yet another corner, Newcastle came tantalizingly close to a breakthrough. Trippier’s delivery was met by Botman, whose header flashed wide of the near post.
In the 69th minute, Howe brought on the arsenal. Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak made their entrances as Willock and Wilson made way. Saint-Maximin took up duties on the left pushing Joelinton into the midfield three.
Nick Pope was forced to make a critical save in the 73rd minute. Odsonne Edouard and Burn vied for a ball in the box. It was deflected and Jean-Philippe Mateta latched onto it with a blistering effort that Pope parried over the bar. It was Palace’s first effort on target.
Trippier put another enticing ball into the box after some good buildup play in the 79th minute. Almiron played Trippier down the right and his measured cross was met by Isak. The Swede’s header was straight to Guaita; a common refrain for the evening.
Howe threw Jacob Murphy on in the 85th minute for Miguel Almiron to get some fresh legs down the right flank. A few minutes later Murphy was down the right and flashed a delivery across the 6-yard box just missing two Magpies before Saint-Maximin had his shot blocked behind for a corner.
The match ended in another scoreless stalemate between the two clubs. Newcastle move to third in the table with the disappointing result. The Magpies had over 60% possession with 16 shots and 15 corners but no goals.

Comment #42Well earned point.
Them Palace fans singing was like a song on repeat with that drum. Wor fans done us proud as per. The lads went over to them gutted as if we’d been beaten. Sign of a team with a winning mentality.

Comment #53Dingo all im saying is if we could have scored just one against leeds palace bournemouth we could have been much better off in top 4. We also look a bit stale up front and need better attacking players to refresh the squad and team. Nothing wrong with that

Comment #73BDBs shot was a cracker, needed a good save.
I voted him MOM although the defence were again on top.
Wonder if GS was having a look at him.

Comment #74Anybody who thinks we were unlucky is living in a black and white paradise.
I would estimate we had 70 per cent possession and created nowt. That’s not unlucky that’s poor play.
That’s the 5th or 6th nil nil. That’s a trend and not bad luck.

Comment #75And we were going to be so patient! We would be perfectly happy to see the development over 3/4 years into a team we could be proud of that would compete. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT? A few months on if we’re not winning every game the moaners are all over it. Goodness knows if we actually lost a game.

Comment #80AP – I just have a positive mentality and dislike moaners. Especially NUFC fans who can find a reason to moan currently. They sound like entitled 12 year olds in my mind.
We are doing great. Rationally that is not even up for debate. Not perfection sure but for perfection we would be top of the table with a 100% win rate, no goals conceded in both cups, Mbappe on the bench etc etc.
