Article analysing his first competitive game for us - http://thesefootballtimes.co/2015/08/14/wijnaldum-newcastle-double-pivot/

 

Can't say I've had time to read it yet, so if it's awful don't blame me.

Really enjoyed that; thanks  :thup:

 

Wow, sounds like there had been some thought put into how the players should play and how they should interact, and move both with and without the ball.  Amazing stuff (F*** you Pardew, you cretin)

Would love a better left-back to exploit the space our centre-midfield manufactures when we're in possession. Anita/Colback dropping back as shown there is vital to a cohesive attacking unit. Worlds away from the hopeful, slapdash approach employed by Pardew.

Thirty quid for Depay is a great deal like.

 

I take it you didn't watch tonight's game then

I watched Manyoo last week and imo Depay is the real deal. Manyoo have general problem tied into their transfer strategy that means they've got players and don't seem to know what to do with them, but the general level of quality of player will see them through.

i wonder if he's in the no10 slot cos he's not fit enough to work in teh engine room deeper for the full 90 yet. Ideally i guess de jong will end up there and wijnaldum will drop into colbackcs slot

Not saying it's necessary his best position but Gini's pretty well suited to the no. 10 role imo - eye for goal, good eye for a pass, links the play well. Can definitely understand why McClaren's been playing him there but would like to see him moved deeper long term.

Probably because if you are going to play 4231 and that's the only way to force him into the side, today proved IMO that we are much better with Anita sitting and two CMs in front of him trying to break forward like we did after the first 20 mins.

 

Sissoko for Colback and Thauvin for Obertan IMO.

I agree but don't rule out Perez for the slot you've put De Jong in.
