samptime29 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Interesting game. A win would put us in a very decent position after 16 games. A draw not a disaster. I'm going 1-1 in a tight game (Joelinton to score). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Should win, 2-0 keep the roll going . I don’t rate Southampton at all, I’d be disappointed if we didn’t go for the throat on this one , win this and I can’t see us in any trouble this season.

Kanj Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Should be getting 3 points at home, where we have a good record. But as always it is never clear with this NUFC team and which one actually will show up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how deluded our happy clapper fans are. We won't be going for the throat mate. When was the last time we even had close to 50% possession? We'll sit back and hoof the ball to Carroll. Bruce just won't know how to do it any other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Couple of interesting stats: Newcastle have scored in each of their past 14 Premier League home games against Southampton - their longest such streak against a particular opponent. Southampton have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past 10 games, conceding 27 goals in total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said earlier today that Rafa did the same, but he gave up possession as part of his own philosophy, the idea being to counterattack with precision when we got the ball. He was quite happy to own that method and coached it from day one of his appointment. Bruce constantly whinges about the defensive mindset inherited by his squad then tells them to go ahead with it as it seems to be working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I’ve never really cared about playing style. It’s always a results thing for me. If the team is set out to play a certain way, I’m more impressed with the execution of the tactics. Whatever they are. Well, to an extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Southampton are fucking dreadful, we will win this I think from 9th down to 18th the teams are actually pretty even, depends on how they turn up on the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I think the frustrating thing for me is how we use the ball when we have it. Okay we want to play deep and that's fine if we do and we don't have much possession, but when we have the ball can we at least look like a professional outfit please? We literally cannot play simple passes into players' feet as a team, whether we are under pressure or not. There is no movement and no patience whatsoever, within a moment's notice they just punt it forward to a forward who has no support around him, because both Almiron and ASM are out wide, despite the fact we are using wingbacks. Can they both not tuck in a bit and play off of Joelinton like Perez and Almiron did last season. We need to tweak these things and we could be so much better and more dangerous as a team.
