tinker Posted February 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2022 We have shown nothing , even Martinez looks lost. I'm concerned at this performance we look like we have never played together, long balls over the top to a hapless Watkins who has 3 defenders round him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've pressed hard and we haven't handled it at all well. Let's hope SG gives them a rocket at HT. Let's hope he and Gary Mac put their boots on at half time as that midfield needs shooting. It neither protects the defence or helps out the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The difference between the teams is that they have a pressing game and have a functional target man. We need to do something different in the second half as the 4-3-2-1 shape is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digavilla Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Cash/Watkins are counter attack team type of player , for teams that defend deep and hit team on the break , but totally useless for procession- style team with poor touches / lack of technical skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one player played at least average rating that half. Got to be one of the poorest halves we’ve had this season. Add Digne and Ramsey running into each other earlier. It's a circus act at the moment we are so comical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 If Newcastle win this today Eddie Howe will have won the same number of points for Newcastle as Steven Gerrard has for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Players seem lost out there. Think they've not fully grasped what SG wants to do tactically. If we are going to lump the ball to our striker, we should have just kept Keinan Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also couldn't wait to point to the pen spot. The ref is a c***. As for us, worst I've seen us play in a long time. Not one player comes out of that half with any credit.

We have been largely poor for the time he has been here. Heavily backed, lots of money spent and this is just awful. Questions need asking. Well since his appointment we would be 7th in comparison to rest of league since his appointment, so it’s been fairly decent in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
