Because he has no attacking bones in his body. You could replace him with a wall most of the time; Toby passes to Winks, the ball bounces back to Toby. Most of what he does is negative or seems largely pointless, he doesn't play long balls, through balls, spread the ball, his passing range seems to be limited to 10 yards and he isn't great defensively.
He needs to be far more aggressive and offensive in these type of games imo. I think Sissoki has no idea what he's suppose to do as a CM this year, he's just standing around and following KWP like a lost puppy.
This is what Spurs do to you when they play like shitJoe Linton sounds very British until you take the space out!
Also a bit weird how a former centerback can not teach another centerback to lead a defensive line.Completely spot on - Jan is the glue of any successful partnership we have had for years. Baffling to leave him on the bench when he is available.
He has changed nothing . For fuck sake
Judging other fans, moaning all the time about them & basically saying 'I'm a better fan than you' isn't exactly great support either.Just you lot who literally only exist on this forum to moan about the club and everything connected to it. You're entirely miserable, and can't wait even 15 minutes into a match before you start slagging off the manager. Just piss off. Definition of shit supporter.
I think the tempo is good, the idea is good and it’s the first time we’ve played this team, so for me some decent early signs.
I’d like to see Lo Celso come on later, but feel we’ve got this game.
Love the aggression and press, and don’t know how anyone can say we are slow today.
I can take losing, I can’t take a team littered with half hearted passengers though.
So far hats off to Poch for me. Big statement and more of the old way with relentless forward play and closing down.
But knock yourselves out......suddenly being a negative cunt is cool because Eriksen isn’t playing
You spineless whining cockwomble. We have been watching this scenario play out season after season. Clubs come here knowing that they will get hosed if they try to win so they defend in depth and hope for a breakout.
Some get one and still get hosed, and sometimes we get the rub and hose them anyway.
Chill the fuck out, stay with the faith and trust in the players and management.
Seriously, you were whining 10 minutes in.
We have the players, the experience and the infrastructure to do this. Do you really think they are better than us?
Grow a spine
I've thought this for a very long time: we need some sort of final 3rd coach to train in penetrative combinations around the box.
We just can't go on like this. #Static
Annoys the shit out of me too my dudeWe are not going to always come back in games like this.
The day Poch makes a half time sub is the day hell freezes over.
We’ve created chances, just haven’t got many shots offI'm not, I'm talking about moving the ball intelligently and with some incision through midfield and creating situations and chances.
Pick a better team then, clearly Poch has had a falling out with VertsWe have a better squad than Newcastle right NOW so we should be beating them NOW.
This has little to do with transfers and all to do with team selection.
I think you are missing the point, Newcastle were tipped to struggle this season, if our squad is so strong we should be able to rotate, clearly is isn'tWe have a better squad than Newcastle right NOW so we should be beating them NOW.
