Erikse Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) How are the Spanish and the Italian media even more shameless than the English media? That's impressive. Edited April 19 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Some interesting #data here: We are absolutely fantastic when we are ahead. Literally better than Man City. We are down there with the relegation teams when we are behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Find that surprising given the leads squandered against Liverpool, Forest, Luton (twice) and Man City. Milan and Chelsea in cup comps too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan and Chelsea in cup comps too. it's weighted 70% to xG and 30% to actual goals, so things like the Liverpool 1-2 where those goals were pretty much their only efforts (they only registered 0.67xg in that game ) won't register as much as the might have if it were just weighted on actual goals. Outlier games like Sheff Utd away where we generated 4.75xg and Liverpool away where they generated 6.14xG will exaggerate things too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Out of the current crop of PL managers, where does wor Eddie rank in most likeable stakes? Got to be near the top, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Eddie's quite reserved and politic in interviews. I wouldn't say in front of the cameras he necessarily comes across as the kind of guy you'd want to hang out and eat wotsits with like De Zerbi, or go out, get bladdered and chin people with like Dyche, or go out and take some pills and rave to techno all night with like Ten Hag.

Pilko Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 If this is what ten days of his training and coaching produces we may as well send the lads on a week long all inclusive to Ibiza next time we get a fixture gap. Not sure what he was trying to do tonight and yet again didn't change a clearly shit performance until we went behind. He should have changed it at half time and chose to serve up more of the same below par shite. Thankfully, we've another game quickly and on paper it's our most winnable game of the season. Needs to get it right on Saturday and win because we can't rely on the other teams to get beat again. Tonight will be forgotten quickly if we win on Saturday and that's just as well, frankly, because it was absolutely shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Got it wrong tonight. Not helped by some cowardly performances. I know it’s very basic analysis. But the amount of times they were flying into challenges and we pretty much pulled out. The shithousing from them. They genuinely seemed a yard quicker to every loose ball. That was us last season. But our tactics seemed well off. As did the effort from most of the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I understand not wanting to change what worked against Tottenham but by playing that way we played into their hands, he needs to have diffrent solutions to diffrent teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufi Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Think it was obvious within 30 mins the tactics were a bad matchup for palace today. Waited until 60th to make a change. Kudos to palace, they played with a ton of energy. Brave as well leaving only 3 men back most of the match. I think we tried too hard to go route one and there was no outlet ball when we won possession back so it was easy for palace to win it off us. Few of our players didn’t look up for it as much as they usually are. Only knock on Eddie today is seeing how overrun we were for 60 mins and only reacting to it when we were 1-0 down. I’m not a fan of first half tactical changes but if it’s that clear you have to change something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
