Newcastle Utd 1 - 2 Huddersfield Town - 13/08/16 - Post-match reaction from p24


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a carbon copy of Fulham match. Rafa seemingly didn't learn as half the forum from that game. The other half knew 2 DMs were a mistake before Fulham.

There's not two defensive midfielders though :lol:

 

3 last week, 2 this week. Count.

 

Who are the two defensive midfielders? Unless Anita isn't playing on the wing as per the team sheet then there's only Hayden.

 

And Anita. :thup: He's a DM, not a winger. He's about as much a winger as Colback's a striker.

 

I agree that Anita shouldn't be playing and get your point that he'll offer nothing, but we're not setup playing a formation with 2 defensive midfielders. This was my point given that people are saying the formation is setup negative. It's not, we just have a shit player on the wing that we don't want there (because Ritchie had a knock).

We have a player on the wing that can't do anything going forward, that's the point

 

It wasn't my point.

 

That said, Aarons making way instead of Anita is terrible.

No it's not though, people are say we are set up negatively, with two defensive mids, when were not. No matter who is playing on the wings.

Confidence is clearly still a huge problem as is the negativity that has been allowed to infest the club over the past few years. Not exactly time to panic yet, but Benitez needs to start kicking some bottom and if the players don't respond - drop them. Simple as that.

 

If we can't be confident against championship shite then we may as well give up. I'm not having any excuses, you lose it's because you're not good enough.

Guess Janmaat is supposed to have the freedom to attack with Anita covering up.

Why not just play Anita right back then?  Anita as a right winger is pretty bad in terms of team selection.
