Newcastle Fan Posted Thursday at 19:23 Share Posted Thursday at 19:23 Immense today, so much energy and honestly feels like we've got the best midfielder in the league recently,. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Thursday at 19:24 Share Posted Thursday at 19:24 (edited) I actually thought some of his forward passing was a bit sloppy and potentially could have gotten us into bother at times. Sometimes loose from him. Other times players not being on the same wavelength, on their heels, getting themselves marked by spinning off too early etc. However, it has hard to complain about it too much. As it is so refreshing to see someone try forward passes into feet off their first or second touch. He was also everywhere as per usual. The balance of the midfield and the wider team in general looks so much better. All from him sitting deeper. What a player.

wormy Posted Thursday at 19:27 Share Posted Thursday at 19:27 He's going to captain us sooner or later. At the very least he'll be in the leadership group soon. I love the responsibility he seems to take on, just little things to calm things down and directing others where to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted Thursday at 19:42 Share Posted Thursday at 19:42 I thought he was good and it’s really transformative having him playing there, but sometimes he was a bit slack with the ball today which was always my concern with him playing as a 6. He’s not been like that in recent games so hopefully it’s just a one off. He has to be really sure with his passing in the position he plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted Thursday at 19:44 Share Posted Thursday at 19:44 Don’t think I’ve seen another NUFC player as fluid on the ball as him. The way he receives, controls and plays the ball without breaking a stride is a joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted Thursday at 19:46 Share Posted Thursday at 19:46 Bloke is ridiculously good and a full on leader and he’s already taken the team up a notch. He gives the side so much more control, balance and the defence must feel so good with him in front of them. But the thing is he initiates attacks too, absolutely class. Bruno is benefitting from the change too👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted Thursday at 19:48 Share Posted Thursday at 19:48 BTW, he's given the ball away once or twice in every game he's played so far. It's worth remembering that he's not Bruno, he's going to play more risky passes in riskier areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted Thursday at 19:52 Share Posted Thursday at 19:52 (edited) It's also worth pointing out that Howe's style isn't possession focused, high press and aggression comes at a cost of misplaced passes and the types of players howe wants and we have arent metronomes. I have advocated bringing in players to enable us to play more likek that purely as a plan b, and arguably the players if coached to do so could be less risky but I think it's a conscious choice. The players just need to be fit and hunt in packs to get it back, if we're short like we were at start of season we give the ball away and dont win it back Edited Thursday at 19:52 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
