Happinesstan Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Seems reluctant to alter the plan. A simple switch of Allmiron and Fraser today, with instructions to Willock to get into the box, and we'd have stretched them more. Isak drops deep which either draws the defence out, or Willock gets in there to occupy the defence, giving Isak something of a free run at the cross.

Expand Fresh impetus, fresh ideas, fresh legs… whatever you call it, of course we need to bring attacking subs on at some point. The issue being that the squad is piss poor outside the first 11 (and one of two in the 11 aren’t particularly great anyway). We haven’t got any other options, in case you hadn’t realised.

Expand For me we look worse once we make the subs. They don’t offer anything even when they are replacing tired players, who even though they are blowing out their arse, they still offer more. You know it’s no more goals once those shite options come on. It’s going to take time though to rebuild the full squad and we just have to be patient.

The Prophet Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Last seasons success was based on an intense counter press that allowed us to break while the opposition was in transition. That and our strength from set pieces allowed us to edge a lot of close games, but as Howe says, it wasn't sustainable. This season we're gradually shifting to a more possession based game, but we just don't have the guile or quality in the final third to break down opposition who delpoy an effective low block. I think we'll be far more comfortable against Fulham and Brentford who will attack us and give us plenty of opportunities on the counter attack.

The commentator today was even on about how we need to get used to this because we’re now a team to fear, especially at home, and we need to find players that have the skill and guile to help us unlock defenses like today. Especially after everyone just watched that and said “oh that’s how you stop Newcastle” which will be frustrating as fuck at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'm sure SBR could have lifted a trophy with us if he had the likes of Wood, Almiron, Fraser, Murphy, Willock and Longstaff to play with instead of Shearer, Bellamy, Robert, Solano, Dyer and Speed.

Kanj Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Small margins and injuries seem to always be the underlying story for us but have to take 2-3 steps back and say we’re a VAR or two, stoppage time madness, and post hit x2 from being undefeated and top 5 - dominant, threatening in nearly all matches but 1.
