His first few detailed posts in this thread cover it if you can look back mate. I think the gist was they are not necessarily comparable given they play distinctly different roles, but Barella is more attacking and does far less defensive duties. I think I also read that Barella has thrived when he’s had a wingback and 3rd center back for cover. Edited July 23, 2023 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly responsible for Villas first goal, generally seemed to struggle a bit with the tempo/physicality. Good learning experience for him though.

Newcastle Fan Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Very good that we are playing premier league sides in pre-season rather than some random Thai or American team, it will give players like a him a good taste of whats to come and what to work on.

Toon88 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Was awful, but it’s pre-season. Think Howe will bring him in slowly. For the first PL game, I’d imagine Howe goes with the tried and tested, and Longstaff starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So based on the reactions to his first two games, he's either world class/signing of the summer or piss poor. Hopefully his next game balances things out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully his next game balances things out. He looked off the pace and, unsurprisingly, not yet sure of his exact role / positioning. Which given he has played under 90 mins for us in preseason and has likely only had a few training sessions with us is completely normal. Some of the reactions are the real worry.

Hopefully his next game balances things out. Villa are a tough strong side. They bullied us in the away game last season, so even in a friendly can imagine Tonali got a far more physical and competitive experience. I think it's very useful for him to get an idea of the pace and power of the game to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The formation was definitely an issue, he looked like he knew his role/position a lot better against rangers in the 433. Tbh the whole team looked dodgy for the first 30 last night; it was an extremely open game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I hate writing players off this early, but it's fairly obvious he's not suited to an Eddie Howe style team. We should have used the money elsewhere, on Jeremie Frimpong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
