Tiresias Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Stupid to dive but otherwise bossed it today. Outshone the Sanches wunderkid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Man of the match again. Great all round performance. The dive was doubly annoying because it looked like he was through on goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'm with Lee Ryder, he's entitled to dive. And yet Mitrovic's wasn't a free kick. Make your mind up. Honestly despise the extent to which diving has become acceptable. I could just about understand being entitled to go down when there's contact because it's vindicated by the lack of pens given when players stay on their feet despite being impeded. Actively looking to dive when there's no contact and literally no reason to go down though? That's where we're at now? Honestly, fuck off forever with that shit. What about the contact on his shoulder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looked like a clear penalty from the stand like, poor from him if he did dive. Absolutely stunning player though, love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It looked to me that he had it in for Sanches. Mikel seemed to have an eye on him, first half in particular. I thought he was moved on purpose myself. Sanches started pretty well first 20 minutes or so, getting lots of space and the ball as Merino was on the right of the two. Once he moved over he shut the lad right down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The way he uses his first touch to get away from opponents reminds me a lot of Kroos. That's a good call actually, his first touch almost always takes him away from his closest opponent. Makes it look easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Have to wonder how long he would have had to wait for a run in the side if it wasn't for that brainless Shelvey red - might turn out to be one of the moments of our season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 He shouldn't have dived, however the media focus on it is going to be unbearable, especially when it's their 'Sky elite' teams who introduced it here and are the worst offenders.

Aye, that first touch helps an immense amount. It puts him into space and he already knows what he wants to do. I don't recall a Newcastle midfielder making so many tackles in a match as he did today. Awsome. Bossed it. He shouldn't have dived, however the media focus on it is going to be unbearable, especially when it's their 'Sky elite' teams who introduced it here and are the worst offenders. The criticism has been light tbf. It was a total dive so he's going to get stick. The whole panel gave him props for his game but you can't ignore that like.

Lush Vlad Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 This lad is class. Always seems like the ball has got away from him, or he's falling over. Yet he comes away still in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 His tackles are timing, not supposed crunching man tackles that thick as fuck idiots like Cattermole make. They're about nicking the ball away if he can, if not then stop the ball but he's so clever, such a rolls royce player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
