Match Thread Newcastle (A) - Monday 25th August 20:00

[Fabio ★]

Pretty triangles by our corner flags

Can't get out our half

 

[Holle ★]

We're losing the midfield against them again.

We need to get our foot on it & slow it down a bit.

A bit difficult to hold them at bay if you aren't allowed to touch them.

 

[Farkmaster ★]

We have no midfield on the ball so far.

 

[Pesam]

Jones is as invisible as ever.

 

[Markeh ★]

gravy looks like he has been doing the night feeds

 

[Shay_K ★]

We haven't started playing yet,
....we should be super fit for the 2nd half.

 

[Holle ★]

Where the fuck is Jones?

 

[Fabio ★]

Id like a spell outside our half

 

[Fabio ★]

Oh fuck off mo, that was our best chance and you slowed it down

 

[Barnie78]

Meg kell tartaniuk a labdát és le kell lassítaniuk a játékot

 

[Number21]

Jones is as invisible as ever.

Literally. I genuinely forgot he was playing. Where the fuck is he?

 

[Farkmaster ★]

This was a tough matchup for us in midfield last year. We responded by making our team lighter and more technical. Wirtz an absolute luxury in this sort of gamestate.

 

[Markeh ★]

wirtz is starting to look like the german harvey elliott

 

[Fabio ★]

The goal is coming. This is playing out like the cup final

 

[Fabio ★]

Gordon is having a blinder.

 

[Modo ★]

Guys...I'm starting to think that Wirtz isn't really worth £100 whatever million we paid

 

[Fabio ★]

Kerkez seems more and more out of his depth.

Elanga isn't that good a fucking winger

 

[Fabio ★]

Guys...I'm starting to think that Wirtz isn't really worth £100 whatever million we paid

He's not when we don't have the midfield behind him. Jones isn't that guy.

 

[Shay_K ★]

Midfield set up isn't working

 

[Shadey ★]

COME ON LIVERPOOL FC
ride the storm and sucker punch em.

 

[Modo ★]

Kerkez seems more and more out of his depth.

Elanga isn't that good a fucking winger

He's getting zero help

 

[Holle ★]

Kerkez is all over the place.

 

[Holle ★]

WE GOT A FREE KICK

 

[Farkmaster ★]

Guys...I'm starting to think that Wirtz isn't really worth £100 whatever million we paid

I don't get how we can play with him and Salah, we'd need some seriously impressive athleticism in midfield, and the only impressive athlete we have in midfield is playing rightback, and fucking doing well at it too.

 

[kerlon10]

Imagine if they had Isak. Good grief this is abysmal. How much did we pay for Wirtz kin ell.

 

[Fabio ★]

He's getting zero help

He's not even tracking runs.

 

[Number21]

Gravenberch is well off.

They're winning nearly every 2nd ball & most 50/50s.

Add to that just sloppiness. All over the place really.

Just a matter of time it feels before we're losing.

 

[Kvarme Chameleon]

This was a tough matchup for us in midfield last year. We responded by making our team lighter and more technical. Jones an absolute luxury in this sort of gamestate.

Wirtz isn't the issue.

 

[keniget ★]

Did we plan for this game? Training? Anything?
