Almiron looks fucking tragic. This your first Newcastle game or something It is poor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock aye. Looks dead on his feet. Think we'll be gassed and hanging on shortly, really worried about how much the Norwich game took out of us.

Jaqen Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 That was grim. Loads of nervous touches and passes, going backwards alot because nobody wanted to take any responsibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just now, Bompeter said: The praise for Joelinton is way overboard. He looks like a bi-pedal humanoid finally but is still, without fail, fucking up whenever he finds himself in a dangerous position. He's clearly not a final third player, his only chance at a goal is in the box shot without anyone blocking it. I think his hold up and break up play has been excellent last few games, miles miles better than other options on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 At least Shelvey doesn’t give the ball away much, Willock isn’t doing enough to deserve a starting place. Hayden has to come on for him. Or drop Joe back to midfield with Shelvey and bring on Murphy or Fraser who would offer much more going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Its as bad if not worse than the worst football we have been served up under Bruce. We desperately need someone in the midfield to take control of the game, hold up the ball and be comfortable in possession. The worry is not seeing any real cohesion or gameplan on the pitch. We can't find each other with passes. In the past few games we looked better passing in triangles, we can't even do that. A real nervous brainfart of a performance with zero clue about how to build attacks. Joelinton, ASM and Shelvey have been decent, we know we can rely on Wilson for half chances if he is given them but we need to do that not punt the ball to the relative midget and hope, the rest have been nervous wrecks. Hopefully we get some confidence and relax for the second half. Burnley players in comparison know where each other are, know the runs, play intelligent balls and most importantly have some height. Lascelles should be winning more in the air and not getting bullied though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWTL Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Lads are nervous as fuck especially in midfield, don't blame them but Eddie needs to try and settle them now. Next goal is going to be crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeepShow4life Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Been lucky so far. I've never seen Almiron have a good game on the right and Willock is hopeless. Hopefully we can improve second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Nothing at all controversial about that goal. Seem nervous (no wonder). Finding Willock especially frustrating and Shelvey wasteful in key moments that I'd have expected him to have a good go on last couple of games. Where was Manquillo for that chance near end of half, criminal he was open like that. Going to be so stressful second half. Please for the love of god get a second and keep a cushion.

nufcjb Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Been kicking on and on about how useless we are playing Willock. Rarely wins the ball. His cross for the goal was poor. Control has been bad and decision making is frustrating. 0 goals 0 assist this season. Tell me which midfielder can constantly keep his place like him?

Aiston Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 For all the criticism of Willock, he has been part of all our good attacks and it was his cross in that was difficult for Pope Still he needs to play better and he and Shelvey just don't work together at all (sort it out Howe).
