TRon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Winjambum will be alright. Needs another 5/6 games. Not with McClaren in charge under a new positive and flair manager he would be but we all know it's not going to happen. Just thinking aloud. The team mentality stems from the individual players as a collective. After the last couple of seasons, with Pardew draining all creativity out of them and the Coup de grâce of Carver for 3 months - that is some challenge right there. The injection of new players and new coaching set-up should have gone a great way to turning that around but the early results have had a predictable adverse effect? The doldrums of previous history is swamping the enthusiasm of the new. If we'd won our first two games how different might things be? No excuses, as I said, just thinking aloud. The gap between the midfield and attack is an ongoing problem. I don't know if that's because the players can't shake the coaching from the last few years or they just lack pace and power in general.

Newcastle Fan Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 When he's own the ball i'm happy, he can play well and has good vision, but off the ball he seems to be anonymous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 When he's own the ball i'm happy, he can play well and has good vision, but off the ball he seems to be anonymous. Needs a partner that will win the ball and play it to him. Our only player who can halfly do that is Tiote unfortunately... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Poor mans Sissoko. He doesn't address any of the shortfalls we had last season. Such a poor signing and waste of money. There's no such thing as a poor man's Sissoko, he fulfils that role himself. He has a foot like a croquet mallet and a head to match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Disappointing against Sheff Wed: wasteful and ineffective. Not sure if just an off-night (horrible vibe/'nervousness' in the crowd by the way: toxic) or ill suited to deeper role, but disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Asking him to control games and make dribbles sounds exactly what he's all about, along with arriving in the box.

Shak Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Long term if we're going with a 4-4-2 I think how best role would be as a CM who has license to get forward. Would move us to sign a quality ball winner to play in there with him. A good version of Tiote, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 He's only been in the league for seven games, think he'll get more comfortable in that spot. Don't think he's looked great as a #10 either and if we're gonna have Perez and Mitro up top I'd prefer us to go with a leftie on the left and a right footed player on the right, give Mitro some service. Key would be getting a suitable partner in CM, someone who can do the majority of the ball winning and protect the back four. Neither Anita nor Colback are that player. Tiote is the only one who fits the bill, sadly for us though I think he's wrecked. Would be curious to see this though. Sissoko Wij Tiote Thauvin Perez Mitrovic A lot of strength and speed in that midfield, if somehow the Tiote of his first year came back it'd be a cracking front six.
