Newcastle United 2 - 1 Stoke City - 16/09/17 (post match reaction from p21)


Recommended Posts

Mbemba's been outstanding.

 

Really pleased for him and would love for him to make that LB spot his in the meantime. He was very patient last season, and has been a great pro.

 

Just love the guy's positive play and energy. He always tries to make things happen, and always plays with confidence.

Joselu is just to eager to score. Rafa will calm him down at half time. Gayle probably would have scored there but Gayle also doesn't get in some of the positions that Joselu does.

 

His overall contribution is good. There'll be tired legs in the 2nd half for sure though. Huge off the ball work..

:lol: How in the world did we get Merino.

 

Amazes me that such a player was buried on a team's bench, while the likes of Colback was in line to be starting every week :lol:

 

We didn't really have a bunch of competition for Merino either. Crazy the talent that is wasting away out there, just from being in the wrong situation at the wrong time.

Pinched him from under Athletic's noses didn't we?

We should be at least 3-0 up, hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

 

Yeah, but happy we at least managed to put one away and establish the lead. Just need to come out with the same mentality as the 1st half.

Obviously, there's chances to come in this game i reckon regardless.

Yeah, that's my point ... not exactly a ton of competition, as it was just Bilbao we went up against, and they didn't seem to be much of a challenge tbh.

In the past, this has worried me, but not under Rafa. He just gets our organisation right.

 

Being 1-0 down to one of Rafa's sides isn't where you want to be.

Can someone give me a half time report. I saw bits and pieces but from what I saw it was all us and again, the opposition haven't looked like scoring?

 

Couldn't pick out any individuals.

Not the best start, they had more possession but did little. Scored the goal and dominated from there except the last 5 minutes or so before half time. We have created chances and should have scored more. Merino is sitting well in the middle, picking up everything. Even when we have the ball he's sitting behind our player in case we lose the ball. He has mopped up well like that and it was that situation where he picked the ball up which led to the goal.
