Rafa has his plan. Give him better players and they execute his plan more often than not. When you’re dealing with a Ki, Clark, etc as your replacements for your starters then you’re going to have far more execution risk.
I’m not going to get carried away, City have it in them to turn us inside out if they click but I’m sick of people saying having a go is all you need to do and the lads will hold their heads high no matter what. You don’t think for a second the Newcastle players are pumped up for having matched the champions for 45 mins with the game plan their manager set out?
Rondon has been brilliant imo. Absolute brute. None of our strikers in recent years play that pass either.
