I wish we could just play our pressing game every match, we’re lethal when we play that way. Just impossible to sustain it every game so I get it, just a shame as we can have anyone on our pressing games.
Gordon and Almiron are now completely fatigued and it's only November. If they can't get players back Newcastle are going to implode results wise over the winter months. They've got serious problems now.
Can you imagine if Joelinton or Bruno pick up an injury while away with Brazil? We are rapidly approaching the hardest run of the year and with each passing week there seems to be a fresh injury issue to add to the pile of crocks we currently have.
100%. I thought we should have gone into these games like how we played against Man U in the cup - wingers on their 'good' side in a counter-attacking 4-5-1 rather than a high press 4-3-3 with huge gaps between the lines.
The rotation has been poor, use of subs not been great and the style of play has left players exhausted already.
Yes I think that was a bit of a changer.. Newcastle simply have to in Paris though and I don't think they will... the current 11 is relegation fodder.
Neither do i but hopefully Isak will be back, maybe Botman but probably not. You just never know, even a draw and beating Milan COULD see us through.
The problem is that it takes a good 5 weeks after coming back after an injury to get back to your best. This situation I feel will see Newcastle struggle unless it clears up fast.
