“Front-foot, expansive attacking football”

Not only have Newcastle made the fewest passes in the top flight this season, they have also made the fewest in the opposition half (4,332) and delivered the fewest balls into the box with just 540.

 

According to WhoScored.com, Newcastle also average the least “action” in the final third, with just 22 per cent of their possession coming at the opposite end of the pitch. Most sides average between 26 and 31 per cent.

 

Considering Newcastle also have the lowest average possession in general, at just 34.3 per cent, and little more than a fifth of that is enjoyed in the final third, it highlights just how infrequently they are in offensive positions.

 

Watching the game highlights that, also.

A proper manager this season and we could have been in for a Champions League challenge.

 

This. And to think that person WAS our manager less than a year ago. :weep:

 

Yep, I honestly believe we’d have been top 8. Especially if he’d been allowed to spend the Joelinton money on who he wanted to.

Cliche after cliche!

 

"They’re a good set who roll up their sleeves and make sure they have a go. When you’ve got a team like that, you’ve always got a chance.”

 

 

 

He’s basically Ron Manager

We are more dangerous without the ball. :pards:

 

Is that a real Alan quote?

 

Sure is. Classic Pards.

 

I thought it was 'We're very vulnerable when we have the ball'  :lol:

 

Either way that fucking bloke is such a tosser  :lol:

 

It was definitely something about teams being more likely to concede when they have the ball, can't find the quote but either way it's classic Pards shite talk
