Newcastle United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (06/08/2022)

[54]

He also gave Trips a 5.5, what did he do that was so poor to get that rating? He had some lovely interchanges with Almiron and Bruno. His set-pieces where poor, but everything else he did was decent  

[Rich]

Bossed the game, almost 100 touches, made three chances from DM, did all the dirty work he needed to at a high level. 7/10

 

Joelinton getting a 7 is hilarious as well

I think that’s the one I’m more baffled by!

Must admit I thought he had a very poor first half, gave the ball away about 3 or 4 times and looked a bit off the pace, second half he seemed to sort himself out though.

Giving Bruno a 7 is absolutely comical like 

 

Even more so nowadays given the ease we can all access match data. We pinned Forest in for 90 minutes becuase every player on the pitch grafted their bollocks off, moved well and were great in possession.

 

Trippier was involved loads too. 5.5 is insane.

 

 

 

Bruno was 8/8.5 material Saturday. Trippier did have a poor first hour or more and was our weakest performer on the day.

You sometimes see this at first with Trippier. It seems like he's having  some weaknesses exposed then before you know it he he has adjusted his game and is world class

[Kid Icarus]

I honestly thought he was class throughout  A few balls just into channels near the start, but still decent balls. 

[Shearergol]

Said to my mate about 25 minutes in "wish we had more Trippier's at the club, he's absolute world class"; he then proceeded to give the ball away 3 times in the next 10 minutes. After that he was back to being brilliant again though.

Rember seeing this. Stats alone don't tell the full story, but it shows you how much he was involved.

 

5.5 is obviously mental either way

Match cam.

Two days late, but I don't care (I doubt you bastards do either). My take on the performance:

 

6 Pope. Did what very little he had to do perfectly.

6.5 Trippier. Always looks dangerous. Gave the ball away a couple of times. Not tested defensively. 

7 Burn. Excellent defending when someone tried to beat him on the outside, otherwise not tested. The floated set penis needs to fuck off, just try and headbutt the ball in to the fucking goal, man!

8 Schar. Absolute thunderbastard of a shot. Not tested defensively, 

7 Targett. Not tested defensively. Did the low key right things further up the pitch.

8 Willock. Didn't look out of place in one of the most dominant midfield displays I can remember, which speaks volumes about this young man.

9 Joelinton. Absolute monster. Like an adult in a children's game. Won a ridiculous amount of turnovers. Great movement up front too. Could have scored a worldy if he didn't snatch at it. Defo a CM rather than a CF.

9 Bruno. Could walk into any team in world football, no joke. Vision is second to none right now.

8 ASM. Had his critics (me included) close season. Answered them in spades. Mega effort, pressed, never stropped. A real threat. If he further develops his end product, he will be world class.

8 Almiron. Top drawer movement and effort. Always a threat. Needs to trust his right foot and just leather it.

7.5 Wilson. Quiet apart from an exquisitely taken goal, which is what CFs do, I suppose...

Trippier?

[Hanshithispantz]

It's driven by data. Forget about what it looked like to the naked eye, his stats were very good, which is great news.

I think he was their best player, tbf. Not saying much, I know.

Actually [I think his name is] McKenna was probably their most involved in defence. But Colback stands out so much.

 

 

 

He was a pest. That’s the positive. I don’t any other Forest player managed to do that.

[JP]

Just watched extended highlights for some nufc fix and wow forgot about Maxi not squaring it to Wilson just before Schar's goal at 0-0. If Forest managed to grind out a draw there would have been some serious Maxi fume on here, HAD TO PASS!
