wormy Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I know I said it in the match thread and I don't know if he's being instructed to do so, but I'm sick of watching him on throw ins. Doesn't seem to matter if it's the 1st or 90th minute, it feels like he wastes a whole minute every time. That being said, he did a job last night. Kudos; didn't expect we'd have continued this run with him in the side, especially without him gifting a goal or two in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 As average as he is he doesn't deserve to be dropped yet, he seems to be improving slightly and put in important tackles in the second half, hopefully he can start building on this.

Guest HTT II Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 He’s an awful awful footballer, simple passes down the lines and he couldn’t even do that. He defended well enough, but one of the reasons why Murphy struggled and Willock at times in an attacking sense especially the first-half was because of the shit balls he played or balls he failed to play to them.

buzza Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 He still suffers from exaggerated backing off when someone gets near him, I was screaming at him to hold his ground a few times last night!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the right back version of Dummett, who gets a pass cos he is local. Both very limited Edited March 11, 2022 by 1964 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Always expecting him to give away a free kick on the edge of our box. Fortunately he didn't do it last night but Murphy did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Gets more stick than he deserves imo. Walker-Peters was all over us first half, but I thought of the two on that side it was Murphy who wasn't cutting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Clearly not good enough for the direction the club is going in/wants to be, but he's played his part in keeping us up. And for that I will always be grateful for Kraft's work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 He was decent. Tough for him, he gets very little help from Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got plenty of help from Murphy, but the idea is to put them on the defensive and several times he put a simple pass out of play down the right, into one of their players or overhit the pass which they turned around and forced us to back track and meant Murphy was constantly back peddling which allowed Walker-Peters a constant run at the two of them. Compare and contrast to how Trippier’s passing and delivery is… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra points for World class shithousing when he rolled back onto the pitch. Was actually proper creased when he did that. He seemed to emphasise the fact he was being a total cunt with the theatrical roll, it was beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe can do what he wants as far as I’m concerned (I know I’ll still question team selections, mind ) But if Manquillo is fit to start games. Then he really should be, IMO. Krafth has been average at best a few times he has played and basically shite the rest of the time. Not sure how bad you have to be to get dropped when the other option is a better and more consistent player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I feel bad but he's a total bombscare. They targeted him in the second half and he offers nothing of note offensively while also being a hair away from dropping a clanger at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Thought he kept giving away daft free kicks but was otherwise untroubled. Manquillo might be the better player but he wasn't last night at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outremont Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Dependable, I love Manq but he was awful last night. Bring Krafth back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The ball he cut across after Bruno’s through ball was decent. Apart from that I just remember him slowing down our attacks on the right-hand side with Almiron by dawdling, then passing back. I also remember his lengthy throw-ins. I’d have Manquillo back in without question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Manq for me. He didn't look great yesterday but I'd still trust him for a full 90 ahead of Krafth. Defensively he may not have been overly troubled (other than being a walking free kick) but offensively, him paired with Almiron was abject. Every attack down the right hand side just stopped dead.
