Newcastle (A) 2/3: Build-Up & Match Thread

[YoungWolf]

Oh come on Jose

 

[Jinky]

A CB engaging a quick player that high up the pitch with no help is categorically the wrong thing to do.

I don’t recall anyone saying he should engage with him? I said he shouldn’t back off for 40 yards. Show him wide? Do a tactical early foul? Backing off and letting him run straight towards the goal is fairly low down the list of options.

Anyway, 2-0 - shite from Sa. Game over.

 

[Squeak]

Ball falling for them nicely again....

 

[The Bear]

Sa terrible.

Suppose we have to give him the benefit of the doubt with the defender right in front of him and the conditions.

Bit unlucky actually. Saved it ok but hit Kilman and obviously fell perfect from them. Another slice of luck.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Sa and Killman mix up, no talking

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Well that's shit, either Kilman calls and clears, or Sa calls and collects, neither did, or both did.

 

[Alan]

We’d kind of lost our mojo anyway.

Comms sucking off Newcastle’s crowd like mad.

 

[The Bear]

Not at all. Kilman left it fine. Just unlucky deflection back off him.

 

[The Bear]

Well that's shit, either Kilman calls and clears, or Sa calls and collects, neither did, or both did.

Too much of a stretch to collect IMO. He tried to palm it to his left but caught Kilman and deflected back.

 

[Squeak]

Still have the feeling we can get back into this.... just need to move it quicker.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We need half time to compose ourselves

I dunno...weather conditions certainly didn't help.

 

[The Bear]

I was always fearful of today's game. Away at a top half team, 3rd game in a week, tired legs, no bench to speak of.

Based on?

We’re relying on Pedro to do something spectacular not once, but twice.

That’s all we’ve got.

 

[Alan]

We almost look tired. So many passes just that little bit off, even simple ones under no pressure.

 

[Tony Towner]

write this one off then.

I think GON subconsciously already had, a lot of negative talk in the build up about tiredness, injuries, small group, extra days rest etc

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Based on?

We’re relying on Pedro to do something spectacular not once, but twice.

That’s all we’ve got.

We're a bit better than that, there's Sarabia, Doyle, a set piece, and Lemina who has 5(?) goals.

Based on the fact we have attacked with bodies and have got behind them a couple of times. Another good move there and Pedro was in behind. Linesman gave him off but he wasn't. Semedo is finding space and Sarabia is making some good runs. Bellegarde is the weak link but we've generally done OK going forward.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I don’t recall anyone saying he should engage with him? I said he shouldn’t back off for 40 yards.

He backed off the correct distance. He had allowed players to get back. He’s forcing him wide on his weak foot. He’s actually pretty much the only player you can definitely say is doing the right thing.

Show him wide? Do a tactical early foul? Backing off and letting him run straight towards the goal is fairly low down the list of options.

See above. Engage any earlier and Gordon just juices him down the outside leaving a 2v1 on Dawson.

I’d a 100% put my mortgage on us not getting anything out of this today we look knackered
