While not many points on the board he is the one who always starts their counters by going Adama Traore on speed down the flanks. He wins free kicks and corners from which they score and while absolutely prolific he is extremely suited to the way they play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it’s a bit short sighted to just look at assists and goals stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their front 3 only have 2 assists and 1 goal between them all season. Welsey is a striker so that's what he primarily will be judged on. Although goals is the least of his problems right now.

sne Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 28% possession at home against Leicester First club in PL history to average less than 40% possession over the season. They are a disgrace and I really hope they go down. Edit: 2nd team in PL history as the mighty Cardiff also managed it once.

Important to get the basics done. I've got a mate who supports Newcastle who sent me that. After giving it the big uns for a while he is now convinced they will definitely go down. What I found interesting is he said Bruce keeps rushing players back from injury then they are getting injured again almost immediately (I think 3 went off injured today). I wonder how many careers he's willing to sacrifice to keep himself in a job for another 6 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even try to have any sort a play themselves, just deep and punt it towards fast or tall person. I'm sure he will once again come out and blame individual errors but those errors happens because his players are sat under pressure so deep in their own half.

We can argue about tactics etc until the cows come home but I don’t like to see players being risked like that. I was a bit disappointed to find out McGinn had a niggle for a while before his break this season. I guess we have to trust the doctors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Joelinton was their highest rated outfield player today with a score of 6.2 out of 10. Not one single outfield player had an even OK game 158 accurate passes compared to 724 for Leicester. And even before the injury they only had 27% possession.

LakotaDakota Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Not sure what you can do about 4 players going off injured within about 20 minutes leaving you with 10 against a team like Leicester. Already had 6 out so has limited their rotation over the 4 xmas games & now 10 of their squad are injured. They have got a relatively kind run of fixtures coming up i guess which may easy things a bit (home games in bold). Wolves, Chelsea, Everton, Norwich, Arsenal, Palace, Burnley Edited January 1, 2020 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves, Chelsea, Everton, Norwich, Arsenal, Palace, Burnley Not a lot in the moment. When all three are hamstrings and (I think) a couple have recently come back from injury there are definitely questions to ask. Edit. Looks like Bruce agrees. "You get injuries by forcing players to play tired. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. I was concerned before the match, I made that clear."

Not like this is a new thing for Newcastle is it, For those that actually care about the pointless stat that is possession they have been in the bottom 3 for the past 2 years under genius football messiah Benitez with 43.8% in 17/18 dropping down to 42.9% last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
