This has been **** so far with only positives being Bentancur and Romero. We always struggle to break newcastle down at home. Really slow laboured first half
Awful game so far, very little quality from either side. No way this ends 11 v 11 either. I can only assume tempers are flaring because the majority of the players on the pitch are currently embarrassing themselves.
The front 3 have been awful, as has Hojbjerg. My feeling is the WBs set-up is what's killing us. Royal can't cross a ball - this is news to no-one. Doherty isn't comfortable playing as a LWB - again, this is news to no-one. If he isn't willing to go to 4 at the back, I'd be up for seeing them just swap sides and at least allow Doherty to be more effective.
