OverThere Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) We definitely have the right tactics given a deep bench. However, given where we are I'm thinking we need to keep the ball more. He has to think of changing things to reserve energy. Edited January 13 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Gallowgate Toon said: For any folk going on about the gap between defence and midfield today, they very often tucked Foden and Doku well in to massively overload the middle while massively stretching their FBs out. One 'DM' isn't doing much against that. Unless our FBs man marked them across the pitch, there's very little we could do about it other than sit even deeper & narrower as a team. We took some chances for better counter options until we couldn't any longer. It's been a problem all season, even with a fit team. It's not so much people mentioning for just the game today.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 You can't blame him much when the other team can put on KDB on the 65th minute after the exhausted us, one thing i would say is that he needs to do something about that Gap between midfield and defense, even Sunderland and Pritchard managed to exploit it.

It was a massively overcooked problem until the injury crisis, as our defensive record proved at the time. Teams who attack leave gaps. City are a fantastic side and it's happened to them plenty.

nemtizz Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I get that people are frustrated and we were for the most part, despite defending well second half, shit. But the fact haven't been able to making a meaningful sub for almost 2 months is absurd, and overlooked by every pundit and commentator, and seemingly some of our fans.

Whether or not we could keep up the intensity of last season given the extra games was always going to be a question. It’s been proven that with such. A small squad we can’t.

Interpolic Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 9 minutes ago, 54 said: See personally I'm coming away from today's game more positive then before, a last minute defeat is never nice, but I saw signs today along with the derby win last week that we where returning back to our old selves, our intensity and zip was back for long periods, if we had personnel to call on, we get a result today imo. Massively. If we had 2 or 3 front 6 players on the bench we'd have won that game. Every time we went forward first half we were threatening, the team flagged second half as the capacity to change personnel once again wasn't there. We were against the top club side in the world as they're hitting their top form and made them look toothless and vulnerable for long periods. There were way more positives than negatives to take from today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fact that you stated was our recent form, without of course adding the context of other mitigating circumstances. Is the form bad even including those circumstances? Yes. Does that mean that we are terrible? No. I also suggest that you look up what the word average actually means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
