Weezertron Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 His mindset seems elite if you believe all the interviews. His football just needs to match it in terms of consistency. The winger situation is still a bit of a mess at the club, like. It's such a shit headache to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I think it's more the fact that we've got about 4 people who can regularly play on the left and only 1 on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things aren't working? Take off Murphy, move Barnes to RW and sub Gordon onto the LW. I'm not criticising tactics, but I can't imagine that move is a surprise to any opposition manager. Not sure it ever bears much fruit either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Issue there is you're nullifying Barnes biggest strength. We've still went with far worse over the years but it would be much better if we had a proper right winger as backup, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Could Gordon play more as a #10 to accomodate them both (in a 4-2-3-1)? Play Gordon behind Isak with Barnes left and Bruno and Tonali sitting central? Could be worth trying while big Joe is injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an odd move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago He seemed more interested in rolling around the floor and diving today than actually playing football, really poor performance from him after waiting a while to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago His flopping routine is horrific. Whatever the contact, it's drop, bend knees up and squirm about. Really embarrassing that he isn't at all interested in cutting that out his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really embarrassing that he isn't at all interested in cutting that out his game. He did it more today than I think I can remember ever seeing. But fuck it, he was otherwise excellent today. Really helped set the tone. It was the game I could see him having at a crucial time in our run in, much more like his old self. Just need him to return to putting that out consistently now.

Sibierski Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Anyone got a replay of the challenge on him before the goal? Convinced it was a pen / foul because Caicedo was wrong side. Think that’s the part of his game I enjoy, the hard running behind. Always from word go at home and opposition hate it, why his record is so impressive at home against the top sides. Needs to improve his overall end prospect (said it end of last season), where it’s the goals and shots. Gets into positions so often that if he had quality to whip a shot in, he could score so many.

khay Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I'm not going to defending his rolling after. but Caicedo went clear through him at least twice like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
