Thought it was a bizarre decision to move him out to full back... Especially as we didn't need to at all.
 
Positive, moving him on RB was fecking mental decision. He should partner slabhead instead of VL but he wont because thats not how we roll.
 
Made errors and was a bit uncomfortable with the hold up play from both Newcastle strikers but you know what (?), he got physical and challenged pretty much every single time.

That means he tried to affect the ball and made it difficult for them to have easy lay-offs.

Overall good and promising.
 
He's mint.

Flawless today at centre back. I haven't a fecking clue why Ole put him at right back. Maddening.
It didnt effect the game but it was a ridiculous decision. He changed three positions as it meant maguire moved to rcb. Just slide young to rb and play rojo left back....

No it wasn't. Tuanzebe is as much a RB as Rojo is a LB. Both have played in those positions before. Difference is Tuanzebe is the better footballer of the two so more suited to play as a fullback. All Rojo does from that position is take ridiculous longshots that never hit the target.

The young kid is going to be a cb. He was playing well. Dont shift him. We resuuffled our whole defence instead of shifting young to his actual rb position. We ended up with 3 players out of position.

Young at lb
Maguire at rcb
Tuanzabe at rb

Only positive from last week, he's stepping up fair play to the boy, feel sorry for him and the rest at the back in how awful the rest of the team is.

Exactly this! It was a foolish desicion to move him.
 
I hope he has a strong ego because the poor kid is going to be tested playing in this shower of dogshit. He doesn't deserve it. Had a good game really, didn't do much wrong.
 
Spider-Man Tuanzebe Maguire Shaw
I hope to see them 4 get a run of games together eventually
 
He was poor IMO. Lost every duel.
You didn’t watch the game or else you don’t know who Tuanzebe is.
He was the player behind the useless fella. He wasn’t wearing the no 17 jersey
 
Good performance today. Has all the attributes to be a top class defender
 
Think he was was overall ok and had some good moments but poor positioning and horrible in the air. That is probably the reason why he was moved out to the right when Carroll came on.
 
He played well today. Maguire and Tuanzebe were good and pretty much everyone else was rubbish. It's a bit of a shame really.
 
He's pretty decent actually. But anybody with a bit of form would look decent in our team at the moment...
 
Quite like Tuanzebe.

Comfortable on the ball, aggressive and has a decent pass into the forward positions.

Played a cracking pass in the first half between some players that started a great phase of intricate play. However also played a couple of passes that were easily telegraphed by the opposition.

Hes young and he will learn but its one of today's positives.
 
Moving him to full back mid-game was utterly reckless and brainless and ultimately what cost us the game.
I do ’t see why that was so reckless and brainless?

Tuanzebe lost 9 of 11 aerials tonight. You dont want a player who is that weak in the air against Carroll.
 
Almost cost us a goal with that Almiron chance, bad defending. Also lost many headers. Not too impressed.
 
The type of performance Lindelof is criticized for. Very weak in the air.
 

Spin at it's finest. Let's break it down.

1 tackle won 0 times dribbled, technically correct 100%.
2 interceptions
This is good.

0 blocks. This is not good but this is something the entire team is shit at.

2 aerial duels won, 9 aerial duels lost. 18%.
This is shit and it's obvious why "statman" Dave didn't include this stat. It doesn't fit his agenda.

8 inaccurate passes, 2 accurate long passes. 89% passing accuracy is completely meaningless.
His passing was NOT good.

Statistically Tuanzebe DID NOT play well because a) he was poor in the air b) poor in possession c) did not do enough defensively.
 
Can't help but think Axel is getting the normal hype a new first team player gets on here.

He was OK today but certainly not the all conquering centre half that some on here would lead you to believe.
 
Impressed - he wasn't all-conquering like some people seem to be implying but I'd have him as our best player today. Love his composure on the ball.
7.

You certainly don't want Young against Saint-Maximin.

He was losing aerial battles, and they brought Carroll on who is notorious for being incredible in the air.

His partnership with Maguire was the only positive thing going for us, Newcastle barely threatened. We were on the front foot and sweeping up every Newcastle attack. Disrupting that and shifting him wide was very naive. Carroll is shot.
