Newcastle United 2 - 2 Stoke City - 06/12/08 - Post match reaction from page 16


Recommended Posts

the owen-martins partnership is working cos Owen is staying purely in the middle, both up top and dropping deep, while martins is switching to the flanks, staying high up the pitch, opening up space and creating havoc. we dont really need someone to hold the ball upfront cos our wingers have pushed stoke so far back and are offering so much support anyway.

 

Good stuff. Sounds like Kinnear has actually given them good instructions on how to go about their business, rather than just putting them both upfront and hoping something happens.

 

 

 

yep, its like Martins is playing as a winger sometimes. typical move is guthrie or geremi spreading it wide, martins and jonas-beye/n'zogbia-enrique trebling up on stoke's full back, their centre-half pulled out of position by martins, opening up space elsewhere.

Sounds good.

People are gonna be in an arse come the 90th minute, regardless of whether or not we've maintained the victory. [/cynic]

I'd regard it as a missed chance to improve goal difference yeah, but would hardly complain as long as we win it - even 2-1. God - I hope I haven't put the sodding mockers on the game....

Just seen Decos goal. I know it should be in the todays other games thread, but fuck it, its that good. Brilliant goal.

Keep them at bay, keep up our tempo and eventually bring on the duke from 60 mins onwards and we could get a few more if we keep it up.

 

Fingers crossed. Plus I bet we're last on Match of the Day as usual......bah
