1-1 HT. Awful, awful half of football. Central midfielders are way too deep and forwards were all completely ineffective. Alli on the right is an experiment that was never going to work. Reguilon needs to be subbed off as he's losing his head. Mark Clattenburg is still a massive ****, though. At least some things don't change.
So stonewall that a team might have even got that one at Old Trafford. Ludicrous, unnecessary tackle, especially on a yellow card. Just walked straight off after it.
Not really Pulisball, for me. Lots of possession, short passing and pressing. Plenty of fouls and a focus on set-pieces though, I'll give you that.
I am talking about those two players not Southampton as a team. As a team they pressed us hard and did well but Salisu and Long were just going for the man.
Reguilon’s been matching them though . A Harvey White league debut could be on the cards sooner or later, or shift Davies LWB with Tanganga coming in at LCB.
As has been said. Please get Reggie off. they are going to target him. We have plenty of options We can go 4 at the back or as above.
The ref sets the tone, Correctly at the moment (which is why Salisu is gone and Regi is on the brink) .
As usual nobody noticed Hojbjerg making exactly no effort to close down Ward-Prowse for the goal. Just wandered out of the way.
I just meant that little spat that happened on the touch line that I hoped might reignite the flame. I’m not holding my breath though
Son has been woeful, worse than Dele and Winks. His only reprieve is that he’s a player who needs half a chance to nick something… or draw a pen
I think we've done Newcastle a couple of favours here. Salisu and Walker-Peters banned for their match against this lot. Big losses.
