Newcastle (H) 28/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Alan]

And all of our forwards just give up at the slightest contact.

This is dire.

 

[jdrodrigues]

Newcastle brought the sticks out?

 

[The Bear]

Get in RUBEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

 

[Alan]

Fucking get in

 

[The Bear]

Pick that fucker out Pope.

 

[jdrodrigues]

GEEEET IIIIIIN

 

[EpsomWolf]

Get in son!!

 

[The Bear]

Fuck me. I hope Neves never leaves this club

^^^

 

[Alan]

But for the love of Christ, Bruno or someone has to understand that scoring goals like that is not a sustainable way to play.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

We've got Neves

 

[Del Woppio]

Beautiful but if football, and what a strike

 

[big mean bunny]

I'd just make him player-manager if he wants it.

 

[The Bear]

But for the love of Christ, Bruno or someone has to understand that scoring goals like that is not a sustainable way to play.

He's obviously after a more traditional type of striker who stays within the confines of the two goalposts and will try and be on the end of everything.

Time will tell when Salajdzic comes in whether he is it.

 

[The Bear]

What a fucking player Neves is. Winning this game all on his own so far.

 

[Alan]

Everyone bar Jonny and Collins have done okay for me. Making the most of our ridiculous tactics (if you can even call them that).

 

[Del Woppio]

Longstaff has been allowed to turn and make a progressive pass so often, we're getting nowhere near him. Joao needs to be getting a lot closer to him

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Dont think we have been bad tactically

 

[The Bear]

Nunes has been bang average IMO. Looks a bit off it (based on the Spurs game).

 

[Jinky]

Glad to be 1-0 up at half time. I stand by the point, unless Ruben (or someone else) scores an absolute thundercunt, we’re clueless going forward.

 

[Wolvensam]

That midfield is different gravy with its ability to turn defence into attack, dribble and drive forward. But there is no chemistry between that front three at all currently.
