It's only okay if it functions. Don't think we've seen that yet.
Just the attack then? Or defence
True. It’s getting better imo.
Ha!
Ye I agree. Our midfield looked quality against palace in the cup. We dominated the game, scored 3 goals. But once you put 1 bad player in the team then it doesn’t function very well. Rashford or Bruno or maybe both is making us not function well as it proved last week by playing the same team in a week and the performances were completely different. Our attack isn’t functioning properly. We’ve got a 20 year old ST who’s still finding his feet, a LW who turns up when he wants and then goes missing halve a season and looks like he Cba playing. And a RW that isn’t settle as we’re using different players there each game. We’ve got a lot to work on…
I did, I am not sure if you even watch Manchester United play never mind Newcastle. Your strange obsession with Longstaff is laughable too, he’s a better CM than Mount also but you will need time to realize that.If you really watched Newcastle like you claim, you'd know there is a reason he struggles to get into the midfield now. Claiming Tonali is a better footballer when he struggles to get in ahead of Sean Longstaff
By the way, did you have a competition with yourself how many swear words you could make in one post? Relax.
Personally don’t think the midfield is anything special
Yeah Eriksen was great. He transformed the way we played when he first came. But he hit the wall somewhere and now he just can’t get about quick enough. He still runs as far as anyone but it’s not sharp enough to be really effective.
The system is either wrong or not working then
Not working. But getting better.
Longstaff is actually a CM unlike Mount who isn't and I don't think saying Longstaff is better at CM than Mount is such a wild opinion at all.
how many of them are top 4-5 in their position/role?
Dunno. Two of them maybe. I wish they were all much better. But in context, I’m happy with the options and the competition for places in MF. Mount is, for sure, unexciting, even so I think he fits the plan and will contribute a lot as the season goes on.
I actually thought Mount did ok in the last game funny enough.
Let’s just ignore all the years at Chelsea to fit your agenda
It’s clear to a lot of us that both of them together won’t work. We need someone who can actually control a game to allow Bruno or Mount to play the way they do. We have no control in midfield and it’s no wonder we concede so many clear cut chances. Mount was decent enough today but can’t see ten Hag dropping Bruno any time soon.
But still absolutely trash
