Angelino watching Mendy and thinking WTF!!!!!

 

[Goater=Legend]

No directness, just passing it around, players aren't moving off the ball

 

[blueinsa]

Miles off it again.

We have waited so long for a fit Mendy, we saw glimpses of his great crossing but either he is taking a very long time to settle or he never will.

I actually think we’ve played well, some passes just not coming off and Newcastle look dangerous on break.

You drank the kool-aide

Usually our first halfs are shit, lets hope improvement is coming second half.

but against park the bus teams when you go 1-0 up finally you have to keep that lead as they have to come forward and open up which you can punish, but as they came forward first time after 1-0 they scored immediately, what a joke.

Now they are back defendiing 541, very deep, hard to get any accurate pass or cross into the box. Even if we do, 4-5 of them trying to block any shot.

We need speed, moving the ball around looking for a gap much much quicker and some long shots. They wont go trough their defensive wall but might deflect and create an odd chance for us.

We have become a team reliant on moments of individual brilliance, rather than a unit which completely dominated and overwhelmed teams with its intensity, precision and desire.

I never thought I would say it about a Pep team, but we have become a little boring to watch.

I agree, though I think it’s more that teams have worked us out but yes, it feels like we’ve gone back 5yrs.

I have to wonder if you've been in a coma for 9 years if you think we are playing well.

 

[BlueAnorak]

We're poor to today. Lethargic more than anything else.

Nothing has changed
