Newcastle 1-1 Watford - post match reaction from page 7

Plenty of negatives, especially how unfit we looked towards the end - completely ran out of steam. But I will say that Willems looks a huge upgrade on Ritchie mind, at least on today's showing.

Fucking gash.

 

Not to say we didnt have flashes of decent play but Watford were piss poor.

 

We have how lever now mastered the:

 

Anti-press

Casual overlaps

Panic possession

Easy pass avoidance

 

For plusses willems when bothering played ok. Krafth was better. Joelinton is a stud and schar played well. The rest flip flopped throughout the game from average to numscullery.

Played some good football in spells. Bit flat at times and some poor decision making in the final 3rd.

 

Overall fairly pleased with the performance if slightly disappointed by the result.

 

You should be slightly disappointed after predicting a 4-0 thumping of Watford pre-match.

Didn't see it but you can imaging us struggling whenever we've got to force the issue. We've lost too much in getting rid of Rondon, Ayoze and obviously Rafa. Not that we were ever particularly capable of swashbuckling stuff. Being solid and nicking points all season long, probably be enough to stay up.

Not bad but not good. A good chance for three points missed.

 

Atsu played well and was very composed on the ball. Almiron lacks composure and maybe needs to slow it down and concentrate on basics like staying onside and finding a team mate. Jetro looked good.

 

We bossed the first part of the second half, but they nearly won it after bringing their subs on. Bruce should have acted sooner.

I don't think he was that bad like. The 'chance' hit him in the mid-riff so would have taken some reaction to either head or volley it in. Late on in the game as well he dragged us 70-80 yards up the field and got us up to their box. His offsides are irritating though.

He had plenty of time to get into position for a first time finish there, shouldn't have been looking to take a touch.
