Parky Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'd like to see Emre move up 10 yards and Zoggy release the ball a bit earlier. Otherwise we've basically dominated. Dawson has been horrific as has Jenas. Lennon and Berb to deal with yet so we need to keep our concentration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Enrique's long range passes are simply fucking brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoU Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 What a great first half. It's really refreshing watching us play this way, although quite ironic our solitary goal comes from a long ball. It seems we've got the players to play this kind of game, though it's clear they don't know each other through and through so they are liable to lose the ball after 'bout 5 passes. Hope that doesn't get us in the second half. All in all a great game, Owen and Martins are fighting up front, it really seems that they want to show that they can work together. Butt, Geremi and Zog is controlling the midfield. Defence looking solid. But best of all Jenas is looking like a kid coming in from the Conference his throughballs are just making me laugh mackems.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 so nervous now COME ON NEWCASTLE A GREAT SECOND HALF AND A WIN TOON TOON BLACK N WHITE ARMY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Keep a clean sheet now and everyone is laughing... Oh and Barton on tonight at some stage..60 mins.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I never thought I'd see the day when we would be so tough at the back. We've had our moments back there but on the whole you can see the potential of this defence. They have confidence and don't play scared. Emre has been disapointing which has meant that we have had to rely on passing it long more than we should, but at least when going long we have tried to play Martins in behind a few times. Martins movement has been great by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hoping to see Barton in the second half. With Jenas and Zokora playing as badly as they are, we shouldn't be depending on these long balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Think Jose Enrique has been excellent, and he is something we have missed for ages. When J.E comes on a "overlap", Zoggy should play him instead of try to dribble past 2-3 men... I also thought some of our players had more pace/accelration, but it seems like the tottenham players are faster than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 We'll see Barton for about 15mins I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'll be worried if Lennon comes on, I dont rate him that much but his pace will fuck Enrique up. He seems to want to much time on the ball and doesnt bust a gut to get back. Anyone else notice that Enrique doesnt seem to be passing much to Zoggy?

johnnypd Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 commentators say it is a tactical change. 4-3-3 maybe, owen in the middle, milner and oba out wide? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Perhaps he's trying to single Chimbonda out? Milner more likely to cut inside, meaning Chimbonda having to tackle with his weaker left-leg, meaning more chance of a silly foul and second yellow.
