6 new signings only 2 start. Your so called Cunha replacement gets 24 minutes.
Ok … I only watched the last 20 minutes…It's clearly Munetsi that's made the difference.
I was joking...Ok … I only watched the last 20 minutes…
Maybe VP should start Munetsi and then replace him with Arias
But his strategy today did not work either..
Yep. Said as much in this very thread during the match. We needed to score while we were on top as Howe & co were confused by our set up and where we were playing people.We had basically 20 minutes where we completely surprised Newcastle with how we set up with 3 in midfield and the wing backs on the wrong sides. Basically once they adjusted and they kept us penned in for practically five minutes before they scored then that was it. They were all over us for ten minutes after the break but after the 65 minute mark they were in first gear.
If we had anything to offer from the bench (or seemingly any idea how to actually attack) we could quite easily have got something from this. Unfortunately our lack of depth or any particular plan from the substitutions rendered this an impossibility.
