Actually, it didn’t look like we had a holding midfielder today (and even in friendlies when Shelvey wasn’t playing). Bruno was all around the pitch, and so were Joe and Willock of course. This backfired Big time today when all three midfielders were in and around Forest’s box and then we suddenly lost the ball, we literally had no one of Newcastle players anywhere from their box all the way to our half of the pitch, and the Forest player was just running through the center without being challenged. The center of pitch was just empty. That was dangerous but Forest just squandered that ball. This happened also once against Bilbao and resulted in a one to one against Pope, but they didn’t score. I wonder what Howe thinks of that and how we are going to fix it. Edited August 6, 2022 by Solitude20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like Rafa's short blanket theory you are always going to be short somewhere. Against a lethal counter attacking side especially away would probably be worth playing Shelvey or Longstaff in the deep role and tell them to make sure positioned to stop counters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Those weighted through balls to Almiron were a dream. Bruno is such a glorious player to watch. Does everything and does it incredibly well. Would walk into any almost any side in the world. Edited August 6, 2022 by Memphis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Was triggered when those Bein brutes Keys and Gray were ripping into him for that great run and scuffed shot. ”Wow is that Neymar, there he goes, there he… oh no, yep it’s definitely Joelinton”.
