Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Such a shame that his return to the team was at a down turn point in our season, he's carried us through really hard times and i really hope its not the end for him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Created our only real chance of the day. As mentioned before, Burn makes it so difficult for him to be effective. So easy to double up on him and take him out of the game, with Burn 40 yards back being completely ignored. Think we'll see him finish the season strong when targett is up and running again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Bless him. Thought he gave it a lot of effort today and was unlucky. Final product can be questioned like every player but they defended well. I would really like to see now we have lost a few games and the team needs freshening up: Isak Maxi Willock Gordon Joelinton Bruno Targett Botman Schar Trippier Pope With Wilson, Almiron and Longstaff as alternative options.

alexf Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) My thought is we should trial givin Maxi the free role like he had against Liverpool to try and cause havoc. But I think the front 4 should all be fluid and pop up in diff positions. Almiron is capable too and sometimes looks dangerous when he drives through the middle. Whatever we do we need to freshen up the attack because it's been poor since the world cup. Edited February 26, 2023 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an interesting team actually with longstaff and Murphy on the bench (thought Murphy did ok today when he came on, willing to shoot at least) - and miggy of course Edited February 26, 2023 by Gawalls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He can look world class and like the second coming of Shola Bambeobi in the same game. So frustrating but I still love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We essentially have one formation. Teams seem to let us have the ball in wide positions as they know we will do nothing with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hes a fantastic dribler but his final ball is more often terrible than its good. Its clumsy and just weird the way he is thinking sometimes. Good when its good but hes not a good passer. Think its a position we need to upgrade if Gordon doesnt nail down the spot.

Ketsbaia Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He's all we've got, going forward. I did cringe at a couple of mistakes though, as I fear it's those moments that he'll be remembered for this season. But it'd be harsh, he just has very little around him.

WilliamPS Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Think the comments re. Burn/Maxi as a combo are spot on. Big fan of both players but the combo doesn’t work. Trippier brings out the best of Miggy but on the left Burn and ASM just don’t click Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Some serious wild takes in this thread. We are now a top 6 team and we need to start focusing on attack rather than our wingers tracking back. Give ASM a chance till the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 This idea of a free role behind Isak or Wilson may work. I don't see him playing on the left working as he isn't that great at the press or having defensive duties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) He’d be far more effective with a proper left back on his side but I thought he did really well in the main. Ok he gave away some sloppy passes but he was the only one other than Bruno who looked like creating anything as we were going to get nowt from Miggy or Wilson.

Lush Vlad Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Still looks like he is stuck between trying to be a team/system/Howe player and his usual maverick self. It’s resulting in indecision and shit passes when he should be more greedy. Either that, or his passing is just generally terrible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or his passing is just generally terrible Im indifferent on ASM, I’m not a huge fan but I’m also not someone who rails against him but I agree his hit and miss performances/end product is an issue. He is one of the few players who can create focus though. Ultimately I think we’ll invest heavily in the final 3rd in the summer and he’ll become part of the squad and far from guaranteed starter. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he moves on in the summer though. Edited February 27, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I went on a few threads after the game last night and said we are not having shots at goal as we had previously and this guy is one of them. Many chances to pull the trigger, instead he either further dribbles it or passes it. He has the ability. Look at his goals against Watford last season and againts Wolves earlier this season. Don't know why he is not doing it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
