Yorkie Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It really does just scream 'bottled it', the lack of attacking impetus in that team. We're basically playing five centre-midfielders behind Cisse. Need a huge performance from YoCabs. I'd have started Perch ahead of Williamson, too. He's proven that he's better (in this competition, no less). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many. That's what I thought like - Perch for Willo (not exactly a huge difference) and Marv playing probably the only real options. All very well saying we should go all out attack but lose an early goal or 2 and it's finished... There's a pretty decent difference between Williamson and Perch (especially against this opposition) and Marveaux has been our most creative player by far recently. So those two are pretty significant, even more so when you consider we were already missing several key players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why put them on the bench? Never understood the logic of benching someone who isn't ready to come on if there's an injury 30 seconds. With 7 subs you probably have other options so Marv wouldn't come on if it was an early injury but he could be fit enough to play the last 30 against other tired legs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm quite mellow actually. I fully expected him to prioritise keeping them to nil for an hour, I actually thought he'd rest Cisse too. Anyone who thought he'd just go for it hasn't been watching closely enough. As for Williamson, Perch isn't exactly a massive step up anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they are not this is our season tbh we have nothing else to look forward to, resting players is moronic.

Sorry mate but he's had too many chances, he's got no ability, no fight, no quality and is one of worst player i've seen in a Newcastle shirt for a while. He simply isn't good enough.

He'll bring on Marv and HBA around the hour mark and be hailed a savior if they manage to pull us out of the shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's no chance that we could keep a clean sheet for 90 minutes with an attacking team out. Playing 45 defensively and then changing things up at half time makes some sense. Granted it's a risk, but with how shit we are I think it's the only way we can do something without relying on luck. Fully expect Marv for Bigi at half time and HBA for Anita on 70. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
