Matt1892 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I found the interchange of positions in attack really interesting and looks to be going one step further than last season. I do think he might shift to a 4-2-3-1 going forward and having a front four that can be fluid with their position, with Bruno and Tonali playing a double pivot.

The Prophet Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Good to see the young lads doing well. A couple of the senior lads look well off the pace, obviously still early days though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Cucurella's defending for Miggy's goal. Christ on a bike. Hope the rumours of our interest in him are wide of the mark. Edited July 27, 2023 by Skeletor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Tbh I think Big Joe can get a hard time getting in to the team. I mean look at Miley(!) and the potential of Tonali (beside of Bruno etc). For all the running he does, Joelinton seems to struggle in possession and lost the ball quite a fair bit. Yes I know the steel he brings. but to be fair, do he has a place in our best line up? We seems to want to be more in controll of the ball this year and that not really his strength. Can he still be part of the first team and take us to the next level?

SUPERTOON Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Howe will be well aware about our lack of pace at the back, I’d be amazed if it isn’t address before the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it wants you to grab the puke bucket, it just shows how much time they've spent promoting themselves abroad This was always my biggest argument with Mike Ashley, even in the early years where plenty of our own fans were arguing how great Mike was (they will never admit it now, remember having a heated debate in the monkey bar 0-3 man utd where it seemed me and my mate were the only anti Ashley) that he put millions of his own money in, wiped out the debt and stopped us from 'doing a leeds'. In actual fact he shrunk the profile of the club to the point the rest of the world didn't know who Newcastle United were anymore. On an international stage that process of reversing his damage has probably only just begun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Our lack of pace in defence won't be solved with just one player, like. We need it as an option but if 1 of 4 defenders is the only one with proper legs then there are still plenty of targets to hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Anyone got any suggestions as to finding a centre half with blistering pace but is also as good as Schar/Botman at defending and distribution? Or are people suggesting just sticking Usain Bolt back there? Edited July 27, 2023 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness there are probably quite a lot out there, fortunately that’s why we have a whole team of scouts and don’t have to find them ourselves.

kingxlnc Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Tierney on loan to buy Todibo Lavia (ideal world) then Chiesa on loan to buy Pace problem sorted Don't think Lavia is realistic but others possibly are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird, that the lack of pace was mentioned as a problem already when Botman was signed. Burn with him there is really a target. Was not a big problem last year, when we pressed well enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of love how he's just refused to learn the language despite being seven years into his career in two different English speaking countries. And some people want him to start using his right foot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Unsurprisingly, for here, some people think Tripps, Schar, Botman and Burn aren't good (fast) enough, ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
