CPL Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 5 minutes ago, HTT II said: And a 50-60 yard switch ball to Trippier I think? Ridiculous how good Tripp's first touch is. A few times today when he was the last man on a clearance and he just nonchalantly brought it down and played the simple pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He also played a ball through to Wood in the first half that should have led to an opportunity in goal but Wood just didn’t have the pace to make anything of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems properly focused and appears to have fully bought into Howe's approach. Hopefully he carries on this season as he's started! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He was right about playing with Wood last season, there's no way a player like him can benefit in anyway with having Wood as the main point of attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having a functioning full back behind him is much more of an issue. His game completely changed when Targett came into the side last season and offered the ability to actually have purposeful overlapping runs that actually created danger. It stops him from being double and triple teamed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 1 hour ago, CPL said: What was more impressive? His 25 yard volley or his 70yard sprint defending their disallowed goal.

NWMag Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Today I kept thinking back to his comments last season along the lines of ‘put better players around me and I’ll have more assists’ Its clear he trusts Wilson and has no faith in Wood, and I can’t really blame him.

Kid Icarus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Absolutely delighted he got that goal like. Right up until then it was looking like another one of his after the lord mayor's show performances and then bang, he pulls that out, outstanding. Got wrong for waking up the child.

Off the volley right in the corner, was fantastic to nick the point. That said, I know he loves the theatrics but it sure seemed like he fucked up his hamstring on the late counter attack.

Had this exact thought yesterday during the game. He seems to actively avoid giving the ball to Wood. I can’t necessarily blame him either, but it is clearly unworkable and if Wood is going to play Maxi needs to form some kind of relationship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardsleymagic Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The only thing I can't understand is if we are playing with Wood who is, should we say limited in his approach, then surely we should play with St Max on the right and Miggy on the left so they can ship first time crosses in. Playing with these popular inverted wingers is all well and good if you have quick intelligent forwards darting about in the box looking for a through ball or creating space for the winger to shoot, but not so good when you have a fairly immobile target man being marked out the game due to his lack of movement.

Yep, was thinking that same thing yesterday. Inverted wingers is a really bad fit with an immobile big man up top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
