Maybe that’s a bit naively optimistic mind Until all our internationals get injured at WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I suppose with the way we're set out to play and the injuries that have come with it that tells me we're probably heading for a squad packed with quality right the way through in order to sustain the style. (Inject me with signings!) The high press seems so effective right now in football you wonder why other teams don't do it, this is likely why, and not many clubs can afford to fix the squad depth issue.

duo Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Newcastle has always had rotten luck with attacking players. Really gutting - image the front three of ASM, Wilson and Isak. We'd have won at OT with that front line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 The bloke played 47, 44 and 41 games over the last three years at Sociedad. He was signed as a sure fire replacement for the oft injured Wilson. Not going to lie it's extremely frustrating that he's come in and immediately been crocked.

nufcjb Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Even if he was not injured, we need another striker in January. Wood won't get goals, once Wilson is injured, plus this guy too, we are fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this high pressing is how we want to play, I actually think the sheer injury inducing intensity of it is sort of enforced. We don't have players suited for a controlling possession in a slow methodical fashion really, we are doing well with posession but it is by imposing ourselves. We really could do with players who can slow things down now and then, when we are ahead or whatever so we don't need to be pressing all the time. What happens though often is premier league clubs think this way, sign some classy passing player and they get completely bypassed and look a fool.

Miercoles Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I'm sorry guys, back when he got his first injury I had the thought of "oh great he's just going to be always injured and we'll never know how good he could have been" and then I did not perform the appropriate cleansing rituals to defuse that curse, so this is probably all my fault. Maybe he'll play a little bit in preseason next year, that could be fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Already looking forward to him coming off the bench toward the end of the game and score against the mackems in 2 years when we're already a goal up, and bow and beg for acceptance from the fans during his celebration.

That should play at the exact moment he scores. Watch to 1:56 when there's a litter tornado swirling around the pitch. You won't be dissapointed!

KaKa Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think this guy will be okay. Not surprised he's ended up with some niggles early on. He came in quite late and so didn't have any pre season with us, and he came from a club that played a much slower tempo of football. On top of that he had to get involved quite quickly thanks to Callum being out injured. Hope Wilson can stay fit for a little bit to give Isak a chance to catch up to the different demands in the style of football. He'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
