Newcastle (a) post-match thread

[FJRMCFC]

Not sure why anyone was arguing Sane does not deserve same as Sterling - the pace he offers no one else has in the league. Based on current form he actually deserves more than Sterling. Get the contract signed and get him back happy once he recovers.

Current form? He’s not played football in 3 months. And the last time he was fit he couldn’t get in the side over Bernardo.

He has to move Fernandinho back into midfield.

He is 34 and not the future.

 

[Marvin]

You know we had 24 shots, only 9 of which were on target and only 2 goals.

THAT’S our issue this year, not pep or the midfield.

injuries obviously don’t help an already shit defense but that conversion rate is unforgivable.

In truth we've got issues all over: a big part are down to injuries. And part is down to aging players.

Come back Alex Kolarov

Playing Ferni at centre back is just not working, he is making midfield challenges in the back line and it does not work. KDB worked hard and deserved his goal. We are getting punished by not playing the ball in defensive situations, but look to stop the player instead. We have to be more aggressive in the tackle and when competing for second balls.
Sterling is better on the right but Mahrez and Bernando aren't as good on the left. The balance is just not right.

No, can’t blsn

Because Pep has everyone back to defend in our penalty area.

no can’t blame pep, he wouldn’t have given those instructions. We went brain dead. No leader on the team.

 

[Cotswold Knight]

Mendy, Gundogan both shit
Man of the Match Those who didn’t play

Our finishing is a bigger worry for me.

Kun is coming to the end and Sané may leave so we’d be left with what we’ve got now and I don’t think it’s good enough. Not clinical enough!

That’s it’s both ends of the pitch is the even bigger worry!

 

[Mancityus]

Jesus is no replacement for Aguero of past and current Aguero is no match to Aguero of past. Desperately need a real striker.

 

[manimanc]

Gundogan has been shite since he got a new contract.

No he hasn't.
