Newcastle United 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers - 15/01/2025


Recommended Posts

We're not being cocky, but we need to be careful not to get too comfortable with the scoreline and it seeming like we're in control in 2nd gear. Wolves are wearing sheep's clothing a bit here, weeeeeey, and tactically look set up well to get something on the break.

 

We could do with a few more playing with the intent and enthusiasm that Murphy is.

We were playing oppressive, grinding football for a while towards the end of the half. Probing, quick recycling, constant pressure. Must be exhausting to play against. But we're just lacking a little spark when it comes to scoring. It's well balanced for the second half, hopefully we score in the first ten minutes.

Pretty good overall. First few minutes they looked good but barely anything after that. We've been largely in control.That said they've been playing it long and we have two massive fuckers at CB that helps. They've also had a couple of decent chances on the counter to be fair and we haven't exactly been carving them open, but on the balance of play I'd say we deserve the lead, although there's been a bit of sloppiness from Gordon and Isak.

 

Still, thank god for Isak at the end because Dubs ain't leaving his line for no bastard.

 

Also I'm gonna say I like the fact the ref has on the whole not blown up for little things and encouraged the game to flow.

Our quality/touch isn’t quite there. Hopefully Eddie can have them even more focused. The effort is there. 

 

Think they are defending the box really well tbf, will take some good football to unlock it.

They are, I agree. But we’ve been a bit sloppy in many moments where we usually can do better.

Need a lot more from Bruno in the second half here. If we’re gonna have the ball he needs to be creating for us.

Wolves have  been extremely physical with him first half, I'm sure he will get more space in the second half. It has allowed others to utilise the space though as they don't realise we aren't a one trick pony anymore..
