Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I thought he was decent last week and hung out to dry yesterday. Did himself no favours but a few times he followed Trossard’s run (natural for the full-back in a four to do that) but Lamptey was tear arsing on the overlap with no one following him. If he left Trossard each time he’s free on goal in an even more dangerous position. Was on a hiding to nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 2nd game under Bruce and he's already all over the shop. Gotta hand it to Bruce like, he's fucking shit at management on a monumental scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I doubt we will see him for a while anyway now after the injury. Looked really nasty and I heard he has an abrasion to the eyeball. That will be a painful one and quite slow to heal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Manquillo left-back, Krafth right-back it is then. Unless he completely bottles his own ‘philosophy’ again which would be a good thing and goes back to 3-4-3 with Ritchie as left wing-back and bring Clark into the three until Schar’s back.

Kanj Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 just play Ritchie as a Left full back unless that Brazilian chap still has his bags packed.... OR Just sign Jetro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think 3-4-3 is the way forward anyway tbh. Full squad I’d go with Dubravka Fernandez Lascelles Schar Manquillo Lewis Take your Pick Rotate Fraser, Almiron & ASM Wilson The fact we’ve got shot of Lejeune though suggests there’s no intention of that being the main system. Particularly the way it should be played at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 We've seen Bruce's version of the 3-4-3 though. Huge gaps between defence, midfield and the forwards. The front three not playing close together, but instead way too wide. Wilson will end up isolated and weary just like Joelinton did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 His version last season was horrendous. He didn’t play the ball playing centre-backs so the wing-backs and central midfielders were having to drop deep to collect the ball. That meant ASM & Almiron had to drop deeper for them to then pick up possession from those...which meant Joelinton was often isolated with no-one within about 30-40 yards of him.

KaKa Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It's going to be a painful season. Bruce thinks tactics are farcical and so no matter how he sets us up it's not going to work too well, because there are no instructions or directions attached. The best way for us to line-up absence of any tactics under Bruce, is to just have ASM, Almiron and Fraser behind Wilson, as it gives Wilson a trio of quick, tricky players in and around him. That should allow us some results just by virtue of those 4 players being on the pitch together when going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He is slightly suspect,but he's young he can improve. He won't hear. I predict this season will rock his confidence He was kicked in the eye, not the ear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The comments from Norwich fans does look about right. He looks weak as fuck and gets shoved off the ball a lot. Certainly does seem a bit suspect defensively. I'm sure that'll improve with time and good coaching......... Looks pretty decent on the ball and will provide width going forward. Whether we manage to see enough of the ball or keep it for more than 5 passes to utilise this, I'm not sure. Bit hard to have a go at him for how awful he was positionally against Brighton. As the whole team were all over the place. Surely we didn't just have 14 players that all had an off day? Of course the narrative will be they don't try or want to play for the shirt. Not that the manager is not putting them in a system that gives them a chance to succeed on the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Won't really make a meaningful difference with the way Lewis has played so far. Course it does, just the fact Lewis being able to get up there and support ASM means opposition can't double up on him as easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 "He’s gone to have a scan on his ongoing Achilles niggle, but it’s nothing to worry about. It’s improving. "He mightn’t be able to play the two games so quickly, so it’s something I felt Newcastle had in mind for the player anyway." Not 100% out of the Man Utd match like.

TRon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 He's still got a lot of rough edges, but would like to think he'll get better with more experience in the Premier. Not the finished article by any means, but it's not like we have much better options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Still raw but definite potential. Hope we go back for Willems just to take some of the heat off him if he needs a break second half of the season because we will lose so much if we have to revert back to Dummett.

TRon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thought he was better today, although still gave the ball away sometimes. That said, pretty much all of our team do it, I think it is more down to lack of movement from team members which leads to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
