Newcastle United 1-4 Bournemouth (18/01/25)


Recommended Posts

All four of the defenders have been really poor.

 

Botman looks like he's running in treacle. Hope he hasn't lost a yard of pace with the injuries, as he didn't really have one to lose to begin with.

True, but press our defense and we look very vulnerable all of a sudden

Having slow CB's that are not comfortable on the ball really shows the issue - Also we are getting baited up the pitch like a schoolboy side.

Horrendous trying to play round their press from the back. It’s like they’re targeting Burn, Botman is uncomfortable that side and Hall is having an off day. We all know about Tino’s limitations on the ball. We give it back to them almost more than if we went long. 
 

I hate to go all John Beck. But feel like we could try and turn them round now  and then. Might tire them out even more for later in the game and all.

That's been the case all season. Botman being on his wrong side and neither Tino or Burn are particularly good at resisting the pressure. Not all teams in the Premier League have the player capable of doing what Bournemouth are currently doing this entire half.

Probably volume of games after being out 10 months?

He's looked slow in every game so far, and did before the most recent injury too.
