I'd be pissed off at Kane being injured, obviously. But it's getting ridiculous how little contact can be made these days.
Do they actually know this is a real match ? Why have we given them man advantage voluntarily? Why do I do this to myself year in and year out?
God this is sh*t. But I would take a sh*t performance and a win. Newcastle really are a bogey side. Sissoko hasn't been worse than anyone else tbf. Kane has been virtually anonymous, yellow card aside.
I know we usually don't make subs until 60-65mins, but with Newcastle having made 2 already, it makes sense to give Son 45 mins.
0-0 HT. Tons of possession, but virtually no end product. Never looked like scoring and rarely tested the keeper. Son for Sissoko on the hour looks like a fairly solid prediction right now.
I doubt Poch will make any changes, for the simple reason that we aren't losing. But this has been shocking. I would've thought we saw more than enough evidence last season that 4-2-3-1 doesn't work even with a full strength side, let alone one lacking key players. Newcastle are more than content to drop to 2 banks of 4 and just hit us on the break when possible. So far, it's working. They've had the better chances and Elliot has barely broken a sweat.
