Newcastle (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Simple solution to me is move Kev out wide and Phil in the 10 role, the crosses he can provide out wide will create loads for Haaland. Inverted wingers don’t have the same deliveries and not as threatening to me.

It's crying out for Kev to move to the wide right now.

Give Phil his opportunity in the ten (and his workrate) and there will be some serious directness and opportunity for Haaland.

Bernie sat alongside Rodri and bring Gundo and Mahrez off the bench.

Stones alongside Dias and think we win the lot.

It's about helping Kev to work smarter, not harder.

He can can still shift enough in the final third and cover Walker.

Agree and it’s weird pep not played him there! What’s worrying for me is reports this morning about foden a ankle playing up again and rest hopefully will be enough, at just 22 and having this problem is not good! Wonder if needs an operation on it or something!? It’s a big worry for me..

KDB is very much the elephant in the room.

A once magnificent player but for me a player that now has magnificent moments.

Pep will have to really earn his money with this one, a huge decision on where does he play in the team or incredibly, does he play in the team?

Personally I think your harsh on Akanji, he's been a very good signing and without him our season would have been up shit creek without a paddle.

Is he a first team regular? NO but he is a superb member of the squad and let's be honest, he's 5th choice CB.

Amazed that Foden does not have issues with his neck! the way he looks in the opposite direction to where he is passing or shooting is unreal and an incredible attribute to have.

Can't agree mate. I see a defender who is afraid to get hurt, which is always a worry.

The left-back issue and injuries to Stones and Dias this season has simply created the window for him to cover, and he's cover at best.

Ake would have obviously played the left side of the central pairing if we had had a left-back to speak of or Cancelo hadn't bombed.

Akanji seems a decent enough guy but he's responsible for some very porous holes, whether they lead to goals or not.

Agreed on Kev, have felt this way for quite a while about his downturn. He's in need of a good rest and reboot in a different position if he is going to justify starts in the future in a revamped City middle.

It doesn’t help his case that’s there somewhat of a group of decent holding midfielders in the league at present.

That’s why I think wide right is where we would see the best from him, not as many good left backs.
