Sancho has to be up there as one of the worst signings we have had. I don't think he'll ever come good

Play them in their best positionFrom BBC Sport:
‘For all the (justifiable) concerns about Mitrovic’s interactions with referees and its impact on grassroots football, Fernandes should be ashamed of his constant histrionics, which are also a terrible example for youngsters. It’s a pity that no referee has had the guts to book him for this behaviour and show it’s unacceptable- this game is yet another unfortunate display of this’
ABU spin or accurate?Passing hasn't been good enough imo, giving the ball away far to easily.
Get the ball out to Antony so he can get at that fecker Burn.
Newcastle aren't great we're just turning the ball over far to easily.Dominated that first halve. Need a strong 2nd halve. Get martial on for weghorst. Possibly Fred aswell.
Yes, Sancho in centre midfield would go brilliantly
What on earth?
Not sure if Martial can make it through 45 mins! I’d think 30 mins of action at most.1.72 xG vs 0.17 xG. Bloody hell...I don't get why we keep knocking the ball about in our own half when Newcastle is pressing so high up. Just bypass them and play the ball further upfield. Even if we lose it upfield at least it would force Newcastle's front line to drop a bit deeper after a while. Also, Wout really hasn't offered much this game, not even holding up play which he has been generally quite good at for us.
yea at least he used to score regularly
It's not being dramatic, you might need some new specs if you can't see they're playing us off the park
Said it before the game that I wasn't optimistic at all but that losing this isn't a huge deal given the games in hand on Spurs. Hope we grind out a draw. But performance wise it's woefulHope Weghorst and McT are off by 60 minsMcTomminay habit of hiding and shying away from the ball is a major problem. Can't have a midfield player who would rather hide than get on the ball and take responsibility. I'd have much more respect for McTomminay as a football player if he'd seek the ball and messed up(which he does the few times he gets on it anyways) rather than completely hiding away in fear of being shown up.
They're by far the better side but xG is complete nonsense.We should thank our lucky star for even having an opportunity to still change this game. Should be done and dusted to be honest.
I forgot on Sancho. Why the hell he is not playing instead McT? McT is playing classic no10. Its not like he is playing no10 on paper but in reality he is another dmc.Another painful 20 mins coming up? We normally start the second half like a hearse.
Should be hooked at half time.I think we're suffering from burnout and a thin squad in key areas, but I'm also concerned that we don't look to have tactically compensated for that.
We're sloppy in possession and are being torn apart in defense - with holes all about the pitch for the opposition to exploit.
We look disjointed.
4 or 5 to them is an exaggeration..... they are playing better than us but it's not hard when we haven't got Casemiro or Eriksen, plus Weggy up top...No subs? Oh ffs
Completely insane to compare Bruno to Mitrovic, but the histrionics are annoying.Same team. Shocking. Hopefully at least the formation is tweaked.
It's very obviously not, it's a stat that rates the quality of chances that every professional club uses these days. But anyway.
Left CM. Role is playmaker. McT is our most advanced CM almost a #10.
Problem is whenever Bruno had the ball there's basically no one to pass to as Rashford was always tightly marked, Antony out wide and WW/McT both useless. We basically played with 9 men first half.
Next, we'll have a comment about how Rashford hurt the grass by throwing his shoeDid the ref ko without antony on the pitch ffsWout coming out for the 2nd halfSurly Martial can play 45 minutes. These lads need helpHow have we not made at least one sub. Fred should be on
Oh yeah Sancho, the guy who literally had to be sent away from the team because he was so useless. Sounds like a great solutionNo changes oh feck off Werghost should be of ffsSacrilege but I've bet on Newcastle 5-0Why is Fred not playing, was one of our form players and pisses all over Sabitzer.
No Changes but looks as if McT has dropped in and Bruno pushed up, sensible.Weghorst still on the pitch ...
