Marka Ragnos Posted September 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Jeez. You see this? MIlan seem to keep pushing Newcastle back every single time they start to mount a progression until suddenly Milan have the ball in Newcastle's half. Long balls galore from Milan. But Milan are making handling Newcastle look relatively comfortable so far. I feel surprised, seeing this. Gordon turned into a pathetic scamperer trying to make something happen and just failing repeatedly. But Milan hasn't threatened as much this half.

DJBOB Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Newcastle are going to be gassed this year. They can't continue playing their style and thinking they'll keep any sort of fitness going into the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa, Brighton and Newcastle are really going to feel the pressure of playing so many games with smaller squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree except that Newcastle play a lower possession and a higher regular off the ball intensity than us. Reminds me of MON and Leeds under Bielsa. I think part of the reason Unai acquired the players he did was to have more ball retention and less chasing. It's how the top teams keep themselves fresh instead of chasing and then going in transition each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I see Kalvin Phillips is not even trusted to play against Red Star Belgrade now, really pissing away any ambition of playing regular football now.

In fact, you could almost see that realisation on the faces of Giroud and Pulisic. They definitely "lost" this draw. It was there for them to win, and they failed to capitalise on some good chances. I would venture to say that our offense has more of a cutting edge than Milan's. Their defense was superb today, Tomori especially. So confident.

tinker Posted September 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2023 Nice job by Newcastle, tough place to go and get any result. They didn't threaten that much but their defending was first class, blocks, closing down tackles you name it , keeper was solid as well. Disappointing up front though, seem to run out of ideas and ended up turning over possession time and time again as the game went on, should have just kept the ball rather than trying to win the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
