Honey Honey Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Will be without Bruno and possibly Trippier. Difficult task if so. Failed to score against this lot twice at home this season.
Administrator Stan Posted January 19, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 19, 2023 It's funny. I've not heard Vieira moan about the fixtures considering they only played last night. @The Palace Fan
Dave Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 He's dropped Michael Olise and Will Hughes for Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp. Yes, you are reading that.
Honey Honey Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Dominant but goals not coming. Similar story every game lately. Got to cut through 2nd half.
OrangeKhrush Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Another game we dominated but didn't get the result, the wastefulness is becoming epidemic and we really need to get players who can manipulate play better. The wastefulness in front of goal is becoming a concern as this was 2 points dropped..
Lucas Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Miguel Almiron's gone back to being a shit Jack Grealish then.
Bluewolf Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Newcastle need to do what we do and throw millions at the problem and hope something works out for them....

I wouldn't blame him, he wasn't the one with misses, but the problem with the inverted winger is that it is predictable that he is going to cut back, I was hoping to see Almiron and St Maximin switch for a while so they can get to the byline and get a cross in. What we need is a forward that has the pace to make the back post gamble, to many danger balls go missing as nobody gambles on the back post. Anyhow, palace had 1 shot on target, 30% of the ball and gave up 15 corners, these are better problems to have than say Everton's

Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2023 Good point for Palace after midweek. They looked totally out of steam as the Man Utd game came towards the end.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 22, 2023 Subscriber Posted January 22, 2023 Newcastle's toothlessness could cost them I think. I had this down as ending 0-0. They're a good unit and very well organised but they definitely lack a bit of magic going forward. Palace are lowkey the dullest side in the division these days. Which is mad because their players certainly aren't dull.

Dave Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 A great point for us. Newcastle looked good but only created a lot of half chances, Mateta had the best chance of the game which forced a great save from Pope. Seven points ahead of the relegation zone. If we end up with that gap at the end of this horrendous fixtures I'll be delighted. 7 hours ago, Dan said: Newcastle's toothlessness could cost them I think. I had this down as ending 0-0.

Which is mad because their players certainly aren't dull. We've shut up shop in the last three games because our fixture run up until we play you is horrendous. Which is exactly the correct decision to make. We are 2/3 players short at the minute. Hopefully we can get a central midfielder and an attacking player so we can begin attacking teams again from April onwards.
Honey Honey Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 We had a similar problem at the start of the season. Plenty of "shots" but not scoring. Then the goals came. I'm torn between whether we just need patience or to try and force the issue with a change or two. Defensively we remain excellent. Whilst at this level anyone can score against you at any time, in general play we are comfortable and never under threat.

That's the good aspect of having a game where you can't/don't score.. all the time you are shutting teams out you can still walk away with at least a point which for now is good for Newcastle given where you find yourselves this season.. For longer term ambitions though you will need players that can come off the bench and make a difference or get that elusive winner because if Toons are going to be pushing for European football on a regular basis going forward then draws just won't be good enough.. The club have done well not to be going in and spending silly money like some clubs I could mention but always knowing financially you have the ability to bring in a quality player if needed

I think back to when you came here as well though, you played for a 0-0 and got it but I thought it was a criminal lack of ambition against a side in terrible knick. It might be a French manager thing, it reminds me a bit of Puel.
