Nah, the real mugs are the people that have a melt down every time things aren't going perfect every second of every game, and don't trust the manager or the team to turn things around.

Joseph Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Just now, ohmelads said: Isak looks so much better on the left against teams that drop this deep. When he's up front he drops deep anyway, but he couldn't get in the game today until he was moved wide. Wilson on the other hand loves these kinds of games where defences sit deep. He's so shartp in and around the box whereas Isak does his best work further out. Not sure it's a fair comparison, as one guy is being supplied by Aleksander Isak and the other isn't.

Gawalls Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I now have a dilemma i don't if i should watch the Liverpool game or kick back with a beer (just finished work whilst listening to the game at same time) and just stare at premiere table.

He looks low on confidence and probably needs a goal to get going. Gordon loses the ball too easily and can’t pick out a pass like Isak. But then who can? What an extraordinary player.

Yeah, Wilson looks to push right up and engage the centre-backs physically, and that unsettles them and also creates more space as it pushes them back. To get the best of Isak as a striker, when he's dropping into those spaces, our passing into him needs to be sharp, and we need runners getting ahead of him when he drops. Really useful having the option to change it with Callum when it's not quite coming together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that as KWP initially, completely agreed on JWP but KWP would actually be someone I’d seriously go for in the summer. Does his transfermarkt has him down as having played way more games at RB than LB but i feel like I’ve seen him at LB a fair amount. Am I just delusional?

Kid Icarus Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Brilliant! Really couldn't asked for a better response to that first half than that. That might be the line up we have to go with now if Longstaff's out for a while because Willock and Joelinton are so much better when they're near each other and both Wilson and Isak have made themselves undroppable. That's the power of Howe. The Newcastle I knew and begrudgingly loved make a complete meal of that for the full 90 minutes. Pope: 6.5 Trippier: 7.5 Schär: 6.5 Botman: 7.5 Burn: 7.5 Bruno: 5.5 Joelinton: 7 Willock: 7 Murphy: 6.5/Almiron: 7 Isak: 8 Gordon: 7/Wilson: 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that time we’ve scored 26 in 9. That’s averaging almost 3 goals a game over a quarter of the season and includes getting shutout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 1 hour ago, alexf said: Important not to chase this too much else we'll get done on counter again. But certainly been sloppy and disjointed so far. Too many players have moved positions and have lost their rhythm due to longstaffs injury. Wilson needs to be on soon than later. It's really nice that, like all the top teams from years gone by, feels like we have more gears we can get to and can turn games around and just smother teams now. We are going to have games where we look sloppy and not at it and if we can turn those games around into wins then we are looking the real deal.
