Premier League Games 29/30 Dec & 1 Jan 2025

with that substitution you saw the end of 3-4-3 Amorim nonsense. he will start playing 3-5-2 and be sacked in the summer
 
I could genuinly see that moron Ratcliffe start putting pressure on the manager to change his style for the remainder of his season, and he might walk
 
This is a massive tactical blunder by Amorim.

He went TOO defensive with these fullbacks as wingbacks, they looked better when wingers like Amad played there instead in his early games, what an awful change he has made.
an awful change indeed....and it's superb
 
yep see the dissallowed goal for real madrid against liverpool in the 2022 champo final for the utter insanity of the offside law and how and when touches from an opposition player apparently dont matter

albeit not when its man city v tottenham in the last minute and bernardo is deemed to have played the ball rather than it being a defection
I don't recall the situation, but it has to be an intentional touch from the opposition player. Remember when Bernardo scored when he was hiding behind a player who brought the ball down, then Bernardo took it off him
 
Amorim might get credit for making an early sub to plug the holes but it was shocking management to start with a midfield 2 of Casemiro and Eriksen in the first place - especially when you consider how dynamic Newcastle’s 3 (three!) in there are.
Message to the board?
 
Also, huge shame that we couldnt beat these at all, much less 7 or 8-0 which it literally would have been if we were anywhere near our form the last 15 years
