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

What else were you expecting?

Camavinga

 

[The Bear]

Finally got the right team on the pitch at the 90 min mark!!

 

[Carrotdude]

Poor team selection, terrible performance from pretty much everyone. Zero intent, zero quality. Deserved to lose. Makes me really excited for not having Neves next season

 

[t3ch]

Does the team not realize we’re down 1?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Fabio just caught ASM before Coady did.

 

[Jack Regan]

Appalling performance against an awful opponent. Played for about 10 minutes after half time then drifted back to the first half. Waiting until we're losing before making a change would suggest we were happy with a goalless draw.

 

[Throbber1]

It’s a very very tame and toothless performance.

 

[The Bion]

Throwing Boly forward in some kind of desperate attempt to salvage something is bizarre

 

[MobNet Wolf]

I don’t get Lage. I go from absolutely faith in him to total bafflement as to what he’s doing.

 

[YoungWolf]

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.

Too deep for my liking. Stop them playing out so easily if you really want to frustrate them like he alluded too. His version of that is being really deep and hoping they don’t score. We aren’t very clever defensively just fairly aggressive in the moment when needed.

 

[Jeb01]

Began to play (a bit) when 1 - 0 down and 10 mins left. Top four? We’re having a laff

 

[Lupollet]

I’m a bit disappointed with Bruno tonight tbh. We’re looking like if we played another 10 minutes we’d definitely score - so he did a typical Nuno and compressed the game into the last 15 mins. Why didn’t we just play our normal game with our best available players and beat them easily?

sometimes you can over think the tactics I think?

 

[Adrian Peckham Monk]

Amazing how we offer nothing when we are desperate in injury time but everyone we play turns into Pep's Barcelona

 

[The Bear]

Verdict thread is open.

I'd suggest watching the golf instead though.
