Newcastle (A) 8/4/22 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[PuntsWolf]

That’s a free header Fabio

 

[Adrian Peckham Monk]

Finally Hwang gets hauled. Trincao also off. Campbell and Neto on.

 

[Jinky]

I’m still shaking my head that it’s taken him 77 minutes to make a change tonight.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Too many players with 4/10 performances.

Kilman, Trincao, Hwang, Cundle.

Harsh on Cundle, can only really remember one sloppy pass behind Marcal that's gone wrong for him.

 

[YoungWolf]

Rubbish header Fabio

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Fab. Good shot.

Harsh on Cundle, can only really remember one sloppy pass behind Marcal that's gone wrong for him.

There’s a difference between doing something useful for the team and “didn’t give away 4 pens or receive a red card”

Pretty sure most of his passes went backward and just was a body in the middle

No idea what you’ve been watching. Several misplaced passes. Even just then when we’re going forward in a promising area, he’s passed it behind Marcal and killed the momentum instantly.

He’s young and we’re asking a lot of him, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be honest about his performance.

 

[Jabbawolf]

To be fair, even Joao has been wasteful with the ball tonight.

 

[Jinky]

Yep, they both have.

He's been fine.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Freekick just then was a joke, take it short to make the angle even worse and then just dink it into a defenders chest.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He's been fine.

Been no different to Donck. He’s played vert safe, but it’s understandable given his lack of experience and lack of options

 

[Carrotdude]

How is there no urgency in the 87th minute when we’re 1-0 down

 

[Jeb01]

A shambles. Deserve to lose against a poor side. European qualification? We don’t deserve it. So disappointing.

 

[YoungWolf]

Played for a nil nil against a team who have nothing to play for, embarrassing really

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He's been looking for the ball constantly, his use of it hasn't always been perfect or massively adventurous but he's done everything he could to get involved in the game. Would've been nice to see him playing with 3 players ahead of him rather than 1 and then maybe we'd have seen a bit more from him with the ball, unfortunately it's going to limit your passing options when most of your attacking contingent could've contributed as much from their front rooms.

 

[t3ch]

Been no different to Donck. He’s played very safe

The highest of praise indeed!

 

[PuntsWolf]

The highest of praise indeed!

What else were you expecting?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Played for a nil nil against a team who have nothing to play for, embarrassing really

Not sure I'd say 0-0 was the intention.

Still think poor individual performances did far more damage than tactics but Lage was slow to oust the underperformers.
