Sancho would've been clean through if Bruno could pass today.

They can't give any space away. It's gonna be another 75% possession half
Mason, Bruno and Marcus would have.Dunno if anybody is watching Premier Sports, but these amateur pundits are hammering us. Neil Lennon going in.Guys, it’s been fine. Newcastle haven’t come to play football, we just needed to get that goal any way possible. Hopefully they have to play a bit more expansively and stop time wasting nowMuch better from Sancho today has to be said
I remember his goal celebrations being very muted in his last season here as we was desperate to join Madrid and angry that Fergie blocked the move the previous summer. That was always his dream though.30 tap-ins will do nicely.Id take Matic off for Donny he would get the counter attacks going quicker.Varane feels like a nuisance to play against, he is just in your face until you’re isolated or he’ll snag the ball from you..We played quite well. It's always difficult to break down a side with 11 behind the ball. But we got into good positions and any sane person could see we would score in 90 minutes if it kept going like this. Now the game should open up. Newcastle will pressure Matic and Pogba more.Thanks @GifLord for the clip of that goal.
The noise in OT....
Let's go on and get another goal so we can bank 3 pointsEarly days but Sancho looks an absolute star.Class is permanent.Three points are in hand, but what’s needed to put this packed bus in the rear view mirror is quicker one-touch passing in the final third.
You can open Southgate and Woodgate but they will still play that shite football always. Serves the keeper right.
Been a bit hot and cold for me, still looks nervous, decision making hasn’t been the best, but hopefully grows into the game nowI thought Sancho has been good as well, worth a mention.The bad :
- AWB passing have been sloppy and he can't really do anything but to do a backpass once he gets into a good crossing position
- Matic moves forward but he can't dribble nor cross, he just stands there
I thought Sancho was good on and off the ball. He was open a few times but as often this season our midfielders just held the ball too long and missed him
VDB to midfield for Bruno later, Pogba to left and Sancho behind Ronnie. I am sure this could improve our pkay if Bruno does not improve
Newcastle are piling the bodies in the box, we've not been bad. 15 shots in the first half. "Shocking" is way overboard.Even though we have now scored Newcastle will still not commit too many men forwards. We need to get used to this. Teams are going to be scared to open up now with the players we have.
For Newcastle?Having Varane with Maguire is so assuring. Solid partnership.props to young Greenwood for making that goal happen
Sancho seems to me to be a player that needs to build up a head of steam into his form. I reckon we'll start to seethe best out of him from October onwards.
Not surprised. Seen a few fit gym-goers in the hospital with Covid, completely floored. Most of them not vaccinated unfortunately.
Speedy recovery buddyIt's frustrating to see Sancho making the best runs off the ball and decisions on the ball, but our players seem to not understand him...at least in my eyes that's been the case so far in all 3 games
Yeah watching this. Lennon is such a nob! they talking like we’ve been battered!
If we have the same possession, do they have a choice. We’ve won nearly all the 50-50s. Keeping the same control and intensity is what we need to do and gaps will appear for us. I’m glad we have Varane at the back, Lindelhof would be giving me kittensSancho has gotten into some dangerous positions but has either hesitated a bit or not really had many options. He looks like he's quite keen on a give and go but many of our others seem to need three or four touches before giving it up, which is frustrating.
Agreed, few moments.
The cnuts need someone to pick on. Sancho has been fine theres only so much you can do with fecking 10 in the box.
Some good momenta and movement, our most dangerous attacker overall. Final ball letting him down
We needed a tap in merchant.
Some dangerous looking crosses too. Ronaldo will be at the end of one of those.Well if Castle have any ambition they have to come out now.... *rubs hands
They wouldn't because it isn't about speed. Ronaldo is following in as Greenwood shoots as all good strikers should.
He anticipates, he doesn't react.- Status
