Put Koumas right back I say

Bit more like it with the pass down the side from Grav.

Gakpo messing around with it before that

Cody, use your left foot there

Why? Have we even conceded any chances down our right?

This was always going to be a work in progress… Add in Hughes ineffectiveness in the market and you have a cluster fuck of a fuck

Right now he’s very one note - wants the ball to feet, wants to get the defender into a standing start that try to beat him. It isn’t working today and it’s creating a bit of a void on that side. For all the criticism of Cody, the bigger issue today is on that side

We might need Macca/Nyoni early in the second half as both Szobo and Gravenberch are fucking shit in progressing the ball into dangerous areas…

At least more commitment for runners getting back to defend the counter there

I think to call this team a work in progress is an understatement. Far too many times we have balls misplaced because they don’t know where their teammates are or where the ball will be placed.

Oddly enough, Virgil and Jacquet seem to have a reasonable rapport.

Andoni Iraola has to bring in someone who has to create something.

We need to bring the big German Schmadtke. He got Graven, Endo, Macca and Szob at reasonable prices. Edwards second stint is a disaster. 500 million spent and we have this bench !!!

A push on Cody. Whistle blown. Newcastle lad kicks the ball away. Our fullbacks would probably pick up a second yellow for that.

Not yet anyways but hopefully someone who can cross.

They dont even want the ball.

Standing there letting the CBs do everything. Criminal.

Get Nyoni on. At least he wants it.

I need to hold up my hand and apologise to Schmadtke for calling him the intern DOF…He is contributed way more than Richard fucking Hughes…

Kerkez :rofl:

Gutted we missed on him. Was such a no brainer signing.

Ryan wow

Worryingly there looks another goal in this for Newcastle. It’s too easy for them to turn any turnover into a man for man run at an exposed defense.
