KaKa Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We have t played that formation before have we? No we haven't. Not since Keegan's version with Owen playing behind Viduka and Martins It's blatantly something Jones has identified as suiting the players we have, and why he was giving so much instruction, while the Steves were all looking dumbfounded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones would have been there at the time too. All making a lot of sense now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Secondly, Graeme Jones keeps the use of the striker who tends to drift wide more often, Wilson today? Yeah and Fraser too. Both were upfront with the freedom to drift into the channels. Like his Luton tactic below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 /Has Clemence or Agnew ever give instructions/cajole/ encouragement like that to players during a Newcastle match before? if they have i cant say i have noticed Every time the camera ever pans to Agnew he's clapping and shouting "come on". Clemence just stands there with a face like thunder and his daft earpiece in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Love it ... switch ASM and Fraser and we're good to go. Got to have ASM as the one drifting into wide areas and terrorizing defenders with his dribbling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Fair point. Just thought with how much of the ball Almiron saw today, that's probably where we'd want ASM to be long-term so he can impact games and draw in opponents. Fraser was decent when he got the ball, but he seemed the least involved from open play. (Just checked the stats and he only had 29 touches, including set pieces, though I appreciate he went off after 67 minutes. Quick mafs says that would've been 39 if he'd played the full game. Maxi only managed 6 touches in 28 minutes in that role thereafter.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The contrast between the two, here.. Somebody go try and decipher what Agnew is going on about there. A stupid, clueless bunch of Steves right there. By the way, someone we hated previously also liked to give a thumbs up the way Jones did at the end there.

We may even at some point see Fraser where you have Hendrick and then Joelinton in the hole with ASM and Wilson upfront. Shelvey and Hendrick got forward a fair bit today and were okay, replacing them with Almiron and Fraser in those spots would be even more effective. Both attacking wise and even defensively as they are both more mobile and we are pressing from the front now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he has played some fantastic through balls in his time here. Might do well in there with a bunch of players getting forward around him and under a manager with a clue. Cool with any of the setups proposed though, think any would work well. Just wish Bruce was out of the picture completely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
