Newcastle United 1-1 Sunderland - 20/03/16 - Post match discussion from p.47


Recommended Posts

Shelvey can play an exceptional long pass, but when he's not afforded time on the ball the game passes him by, and we've picked up fewer points per game since his signing: once again today, we're relinquishing the midfield, with nobody to press or play the short passes that can build moves and encourage some attacking structure. The full-backs have both been atrocious defensively and Colback has nothing to offer in any part of the pitch, Mitrovic is plodding as always, Wijnaldum has barely featured, and Perez is getting by on the bare minimum, with only Townsend doing anything to impress.

 

We could do with five or six changes, but I'd consider shifting Shelvey and Colback for Saivet and Anita in some combination, bringing Sissoko back into the midfield with Wijnaldum behind the forward and Perez out wide, and then I'd look at bringing Mitrovic off for Cisse.
