Newcastle (A) 13/9 Build up & Match day thread.

[PuntsWolf]

You could pick the 20 players in this match day squad at random and it would all be the same. We just have a full squad of averageness. Zero standout players

 

[Templeton Peck]

We've played well. Should be 1-1. New players look decent so far. Mosquera makes a huge difference. Larsen and Arokodare up top could be immense. Inverted wing backs working well too.

 

[jd1981]

Let’s be honest, though. We say we had chances. They had the goal. The Tonali shot off the post. The sitter that Johnstone somehow saved. Murphy’s shot that flew past the post.

We started well and have played better than I expected, but we’re lucky it’s only 1 going in to half time. We had to score when we were on top.

This is where I am I’m not having we’re unlucky to be a goal behind. They’ve still had the better quality of chances.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Rodrigo should have scored the first one, should have been past Pope before he could react or in the corner. Nothing else really a noteworthy chance where I’d be expecting a goal.

 

[Templeton Peck]

We'll win this 2-1

 

[jd1981]

Can’t keep losing and clinging onto a decent effort here and there.

Hwangs half volley was easier than he made it look. It wasn't in the corner neither had any power behind it

 

[Jinky]

Think we have to get Arias on and play him close to Tolu. Hwang isn’t offering us anything, really.

We all know he’ll lob Munetsi on for Tolu at the hour mark because I don’t think Tolu is completely match-fit.

 

[Wolftone]

Hanging on here. Can't get the ball and play.

 

[Del Woppio]

We are so bad at defending

 

[Jinky]

2nd best to everything this half. Very, very defensive.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Arias for hwang, chou chou for hugo

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Need a ball carrier with pace to get us up the pitch. Shame we haven’t got one.

 

[jd1981]

I think we need to score 2 just to get a point today

 

[EnglishBob]

We are so bad at defending

We're bad at everything. No technical ability, no ball retention, no ball recovery. Nothing. If we were winning and sitting deep then ok, I guess, but we're losing! In hindsight we were spoiled with those skillful players we used to bring in. Now we just have shirt fillers.

 

[Jinky]

Very much looking forward to the ref taking his top off at the end to reveal his Newcastle shirt.

Fucking hell. Absolutely EVERYTHING going their way.

 

[Wolftone]

That wasn't a foul.

 

[Templeton Peck]

What did Tolu do wrong then?

Trippier ran into Tolu and he gives a foul. Bizarre
