He's been getting a ridiculous amount out of these players. It's no wonder we have the odd off-day when you look at some of the weaknesses that are still rife in the team. We're still very much a bottom half outfit personnel-wise. And we have had Trippier, Wilson, ASM and Shelvey out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 5 minutes ago, Newcastle Fan said: I don't think he got much wrong today aside from picking a very toothless front 3, needed ASM in there for some threat against what was a weak everton defence. Starting Krafth ahead of Manquillo who is better defensively, offensively and on the ball than him. I don’t understand why he’s seemingly ahead of Manq in pecking order. Almiron starting on the right was baffling as well. He’s so bad on the right as he’s one footed. I also think he should have took off Willock as his legs had gone.

An off day or two is inevitable with the squad at our disposal. It'll be the same next season too. We've effectively overperformed for ten games in a row.

He's clearly tried to keep it the same while we were on the undefeated streak until the recent heavy run needed rotation. I imagine Manq starts at Spurs and stays there providing he doesn't have a shocker. Edited March 17, 2022 by wormy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Nothing wrong with his setup tonight, apart from the right flank arguably but any combination is not particularly inspiring down that side. Players just didn't put in the same pressing that we've seen in recent weeks and lost their composure as the game went on. At least there's a break now to hopefully finish the safety job.

Manquillo has been under appreciated in his time here but being behind Krafth in pecking order at the moment is unforgiveable. He’s absolutely terrible.

et tu brute Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Got it totally wrong tonight, selection and tactically. But he's certainly done better than I was expecting and as long as we stay up he has more than done his job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 It's very obvious Eddie has got us on the right track. With so many bad players still getting games and such a weak bench, results like today will happen. Convinced he is the right man to lead us to great things next year.

Wilson Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Other than Krafth/manky and almiron/maxi i was fine with the set up. Wasn't a great performance but when you are forced to rotate and you have a squad as week as ours, shit like this is going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He could maybe welcome the break too. All this shite that's being fired at him about Chelsea and Saudi Arabia could easily be affecting his performance and focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He didn't get it wrong at all. A better striker and the game would've been done. We were poor, but they weren't exactly superior Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Don't think he got anything wrong really, another day we win that and everyone applauds him for winning ugly again, its just variance - some days you get it and some days you don't.
