Got it. Expand Yeh this is in response to a League Cup game and trying different approaches. I also suggested Sandro at 6 there but I admit - I didn't think it would work... but I wanted to see it given a go. Eddie tried Sandro at 6 in the next league cup game and that was the start of our renaissance - so I guess there was value in my comment Likewise with Hall, he's such a brilliant player in low-stakes games i'd like to see him in midfield. Early League Cup or FA Cup games against lower league opposition are an opportunity to experiment. But I'm not suggesting we bring Targett at LB and Hall to CM and remove Joelinton going forward. Best to take my posts in good faith rather than trying to find silly holes. Look at the context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 As much as I enjoy watching him play now, I'm already looking forward to his Pirlo phase in ~10 years time when he doesn't have to run anymore because he just knows where the ball will end up, and where his teammates will make runs.

PauloGeordio Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Tonali looked emotional when he sprinted over to the fans after making it 3-1 but said he got good vibrations from the 3,000 strong Toon Army right from the word go.

Dr Jinx Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 We may actually have the best midfield of any premier league club on current form Tonali could just play as a holding midfielder with ease but his attributes get more from those around him.

Cristov Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I've been mulling this over for some time now, but I'm pretty sure Sandro is going down as my favorite Newcastle player ever. We've just not had a player like him for as long as I can think. When younger I always favoured attacking players like Cole, Beardsley, Ginola etc but this guy is just pure class from deep in midfield. Just in awe at how he goes through a game.

Expand He's Gattuso with technique and I don't think that's being hyperbolic. Over the last few months watching him perform there's been many a moment where I've said inwardly "how the fuck does this guy play for us?"
