Newcastle United 2 - 2 West Brom - 18/01/10 - post match reaction from page 27

[Jayson]

would any of you make any subs?

 

if so, who?

R.Taylor on for Simpson, but that'd be about it.

 

Ranger for Lovenkrands.

 

This game seems far more suited to pace, than having a big lad to hold up long balls

[Stifler]

R. Taylor for Smith, not seen much of Smith, and R. Taylor for me can give us pace on the right (providing Guthrie goes into the middle) which would stretch them.

[cubaricho]

I think I may be the only one who thinks Nolan hasn't been as bad as it's been made out on here.  He's played some good passes.

 

The goal was his fault though.

 

What?  It certainly wasn't Shola's fault (the person who is marking Tamas) then?

[Dave]

The goal was far more Ameobi than it was Nolan.

 

Should have been prevented at source.

[ChezGiven]

would any of you make any subs?

 

if so, who?

 

Ryan Taylor on for Simpson and one of the strikers off.

[LesPaul]

Anyone else listening to this interview with Warren Llambias? Seems quite reasonable

I did. Love when he said Ashley put less into his film than anyone else

[Nobody]

The goal was far more Ameobi than it was Nolan.

 

Should have been prevented at source.

And Shola shouldn't have just stood there thinking about what he's having for breakfast tomorrow.

[Mick]

We'd be pissing this if we had a central midfield and somebody other than shola up front

[ChezGiven]

Showed a right-footer inside. Schoolboy.

Tried didnt he. If he was a winger on that side you'd expect him to know the players weak foot, not his role though.

[David28]

Smith does the half time team talk down at the tunnel.

Defending isn't Ameobi's role either.

 

Neither of them did nearly enough.

[KaKa]

Nolan is strictly a goalscorer for us, so just have him play just behind the striker, which we did earlier in the season with some success.

 

Guthrie and Smith in the centre would be a much healthier proposition. We could then have R. Taylor providing some good delivery from the right or Pancrate providing randomness.

 

 

[Jayson]

Showed a right-footer inside. Schoolboy.

 

Guthrie wouldve been told to focus on that, not Nolan. Wouldnt have known.

[johnnypd]

great. completely sliced through us.

[Dave]

How did he miss the first one?

[matta]

FU KING HELL.

[NoU]

fuck

[Unbelievable]

Oh for fucks sake!!!

[Parky]

We are stretched down the right because of strength and pace, neither quality Guthrie or Simpson have in abundance. Bringing pace on the right, Guthrie into the middle means sacrificing one of Nolan or Smith, a brave move when you are struggling to contain the opposition.

 

If Houghton tells them to push up we're gonna be fucked.

 

What would you tell em?

 

When they break show them the outside and get more compact in the middle. The main thing is not to get dragged about as that heightens the panic at this level. 

[David28]

Fuck!

[LesPaul]

Ah for fuck sake

[hakka]

made us look like mugs again.

[Jayson]

fuck

[Keefaz]

WANKERS. FUCKING WANKERS.
