timeEd32 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Youtube: Newcastle 1-1 Sunderland | Rafa Benitez Post Match Interview Biggest thing I learned from that is he's only been in charge 9 days. Ridiculous - feels like three times as long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He has got almost the whole squad to work with apart from Janmaat, Gini and Sissoko during the international break. Hope he could also get some players back from injury too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Break will be huge. Hopefully see a couple of options at the back reappear, especially on the left and he can start drilling an organised defence for the remaining games. I'm hoping he's sussed Colback and only used him due to having no other option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He actively got us a point. Maverick but well-thought subs that paid off..... legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Think this fortnight international break might've come at the right time for us. 4-4-2 didn't seem to work for us today, need to either work on that or get 2 weeks of something else trained before the Norwich game. gives him time to watch a few videos of the crap he has inherited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Serbia Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He has got almost the whole squad to work with apart from Janmaat, Gini and Sissoko during the international break. Hope he could also get some players back from injury too. And Mitrović. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 God, just thinking about it. It really would be torture. What an incredibly cruel tease to have had a genius in the dugout for a bit, only to have all that passion and reinvigorated hope just smashed again. Absolutely vintage NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Little thing, but I was impressed by how he handled the Mitrovic fiasco. Yeah. Pretty sure I saw him saying it was his decision. Calm and collected under pressure. I still have faith in him to get us out of this mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 For me our biggest threat at home Wijnaldum played deeper? Bad choice in the relegation fight. Perez ineffective, Townsend unaware. Sissoko just not a wide player. Best on the field most natural roles Shelvey & Mbemba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 It was just the perfect appointment for us, at the wrong time unfortunately, should have happened a month earlier. If he can somehow pull of a miracle here, we could have a very bright future presuming he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Worried we don't have the right players or they aren't good enough. So much is wrong it's scary. Sunderland full value for the point. Rafa needs to get rapid improvement from this team and it's going to be so difficult. Norwich is must win. Fear we got Rafa in too late.

Playing deep yes he can do a bit, but we need to score a few, playinig him in cm i dont agree, sorry. The guy can do a job further up, ayoze was innefective in a derby, at worst id have pushed him wide where his assist came from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Anyone know how many players we have going away on international duty? If the bulk are staying we have two weeks to work on a game plan for Norwich. Despite our terrible away form all season, for the remainder at least, I can see us being better away from home.

Mick Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Any word on where he's moved to or is he commuting all the way from the Wirrel? I'm sure he said that he was living in Newcastle during an interview, i would guess a bit of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
