I expect a draw unless we start shorting outside the box and catching them out from a counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins has probably had his worst half for us so far and El Ghazi is looking like our only hope. McGinn has done nothing. Nowhere for passes. Nowhere for chances created. Nowhere for interceptions. He does nothing except the occasional diagonal ping. I just don't get it. He brings nothing. The invisible man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 To be honest our reputation as fans is deserved. We're without our best player away at a ground we barely ever win at who are scrapping for their lives. 0 - 0 is fair (so far). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 You can’t keep chopping and changing the midfield 3. The balance is all wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn started well, was our best player but then like everyone else we stopped the pressing and got I to the slowing down okay and build up. Konsa is head and shoulders our best player first half.

Villa 59 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm sorry but if Ramsey is ineffective against the toon I don't think he's going to make it in the PL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to take an El Ghazi wonder strike to win this one I think. Are the tactics wrong or?? Just can't see a game plan lately, it's just like Smith's playing Bruceball every game waiting for Grealish come back. European places are still available to us, although we look like a team that's not interested in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle are properly awful and we are so far off the boil these last couple of games that they deserve some flack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Garbage. McGinn has been caught in possession god knows how many times, Watkins seems to be made of 100% rubber tonight, Ramsey seems a bit too indecisive on the ball, Mings looking his usual casual self (and has been done 3 times by joelinton already). Very little between these two teams in that half, here’s hoping something changes second half! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to his busy best but lacking in quality and his passing left a lot to be desired. Hopefully he is regaining his form but he is way off his best, maybe it his new role?

He chests it down and holds it up... And has to pick out the team mate 30 yards behind him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
