r0cafella Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Bruno and his composure is a exactly what we need. Every time we cleared our lines with a hoof it just lead to Brighton recycling and starting again. we need to work on our play when we turn the ball over deep in our half it looks like they don’t know what to do.

Conjo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Schar or Fraser obvious candidates for MOTM. Burn was really good too but not MOTM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Linton Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 No way we're getting that result 4 months ago. Look like a proper team again and the crowd were fantastic second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this entirely. He represents the next evolution of this team, the confidence to keep the ball when the opposition goes into swarm mode, and punish them. Shelley did well but he really did look knacked at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players who can hold the ball under pressure and find the out ball are what separate football teams from cloggers. We need more of these, not less.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 We were really bad but nice to still get the points. Think Fraser, Burn, Schar and Big Joe were good. Dubs, Murphy and Krafth were dog. Brighton are so patient and able to pass, they’re always going to make a team like us look poor. Since we either can’t or don’t try to retain possession. Nice goals though, TBF.

Ste Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Thought it was going to take another mistake from us for Brighton to get the equaliser, but defensively we held firm. We gave them every opportunity to try for the equaliser which was very disappointing after a few games now where I've thought our control of a game has been improving. Great 3 points, but that performance in general was a few steps back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty confident we'd hold, especially once Bruno came on. We continued to give the ball away cheaply, but Brighton weren't that threatening. A breakaway goal from ASM was more likely.

christ Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Delighted with the result but that was a horrible game. Apart from that ten minutes immediately after our first goal when we were the better side I thought we were really sloppy. Too many loose passes. Our defensive organisation saved us today. Bound to happen some time like, and I suppose it’s a good sign we can claw our way to results when we don’t turn up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 We made this much harder for ourselves than it should've been, i hope its a good lesson to the players that this is still the premier league and there is no room whatsoever to be complacent.

Maybe Shelvey on one of his few good days or Big Joe if the stars aligned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Massive win; huge shift by everyone even if some of the decision making was a bit shite at times, always going to be case at our level. Always looked like we had a goal in us when we went forward though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Brighton make teams play like this, they have done it to better teams than us this season. They have also never lost 4 in a row before today, so that was the size of the task facing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Great win but we let them have way too much of the ball. None of the midfield three had a good game so no excuse not to start Bruno agaist Southampton. Fraser was great and Schar to an extent too. On a negative note - Wood is an absolute travesty of a footballer. Offers nothing. Actually can’t remember him even being close to scoring a goal since he came and his hold up and link up play is not good. Can’t wait to see us with a proper striker.

I don't disagree but I thought Joelinton's work rate and impact was a level above Shelvey and Willock. Edited March 5, 2022 by Mountain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Wood is a hard one as since he's come we've won loads of games. So have we won in spite of him, or has he contributed. I like him but you can't ignore he's been toothless and has lacked dynamism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
