Newcastle (H) 18/1/26: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

Looks a sore one for Trip. Complete accident.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

“Hwang doesn’t get the touch right”

Sums him up.

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

poor from LK

 

[Jinky]

We’re crying out for the pace/enthusiasm of Rodrigo here. So many times we’ve had a chance to break upfield and everything is so slow.

 

[Wolftone]

Tonali pulls down his Brazilian counterpart??

 

[Mel Evo]

Arias and JSL on

 

[YorkWolf]

FFS Sa how can you not kick the ball out of your hands with plenty of time. Still.

 

[Mel Evo]

Weird. Arias held back. ‘Bibbed’.

 

[Jinky]

Straight swap JSL for Tolu. Dont think that changes anything to be honest.

 

[Jinky]

Elanga and Wissa coming on. Look out.

 

[YorkWolf]

I love Yerson's enthusiasm but if he could never cross the ball again please that would be good.

 

[Jinky]

Arias for Gomes.

Weird subs.

 

[Sniffer]

Should have been Hwang or Mane not Gomes

 

[Derby Wolf]

Can only assume that Edwards family die if Hwang is subbed.

 

[Mel Evo]

Gomes off seems strange. Creativity welcome, but he was holding things together I thought.

 

[Jinky]

I don’t recall Hwang touching the ball in this second half. I think Arias was the right change, but not for Gomes whose ball winning back ability again has been excellent today. Odd changes. Also disappointed he hasn’t put Rodrigo on to at least give us an outlet because it’s all Newcastle at the moment.

Only one winner here.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Gomes played well but let’s call it an “attacking sub”. Squad game also

 

[Templeton Peck]

Joke decision

 

[Wolftone]

Got the ball, no?

 

[Templeton Peck]

Got the ball, no?

He did. Textbook
