    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We need to back the managers but I think backing Ange will be easier than Conte due to types of players will need. No way Werner could be bought in to do a job for Conte for 6 months. We just need to make sure we massively reinforce the key positions that make the tactics work.... A Bissouma...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The score line was unpredictable, but the match I think was predictable. As soon as we face a team sitting deep against us, we are going to struggle. The pace we play at is way too slow so we take no advantage of any space.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Whilst I agree, I think people are targeting Ryan Mason for no reason. He isn't defensive set pieces and we hardly get any attacking free kicks in good areas. For both attacking and defensive corners, if you don't have players willing to attack the ball then it will make no difference...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think the big thing that worries me is the pace of us is possession. We moved the ball so slow that we will rarely get the chances our opponents get. Maddison and Bissouma were great when they were moving the ball quick, and Romero was feeding the ball forward. But now by the time Son...

    There were only two players who I knew were marking on corners....Johnson and GLC were the only two I saw actually tussling with players in the box.

    I didn't think it was a penalty. Player gets the ball easily if Bentancur doesn't duck his head into it. Player was already in motion and head went in late

    We seem to jog a lot when we dont have the ball. Also, how long does it take Udogie to get back to LB position when we lose the ball? Porro seems to get back and Romero is rarely pulled out like VDV.

    When Son/Madders messed up, I couldn't understand why Maddison ran towards Son! They were less than a few metres away from each other. It was silly movement.

    Absolutely. Front 3 of Son, Johnson and Richy would be great. Hopefully, someone reminds Maddison his job is to create and use the runners, not be the striker.

    But I'm not saying keep Son on the pitch because it's Son. Bar Johnson, there are no goal threats. You can't just have one player that's scored more than one goal in the last 5 to 10 matches and hope to win games. Our chief playmaker was sitting next to Son or their centre backs most the...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think Ange needs two top class DMs, I'm talking £60m+ so that if one gets injured or struggles, we have a back up. I can't believe Skipp is as bad as GLC that he can't be given a chance to see if he plays better. We also need an upgrade on Maddison. Someone who can actually play slow and...

    And who has scored more goals than him in the last 5 games? That's recently, right? Like I said, I don't think he is a good number 9 but if nobody is outscoring him and it's a fact he our best finisher, and Richy is injured, why would you not leave our best goal threat on the pitch so we at...

    Shocking from Ange. There really is no plan B. No even plan A with a tweak. Midfield was poor, but for me Biss and Madders are ball carriers for us and they were not showing for defenders. In the attacking third, Madders was standing in the Newcastle backline instead of pulling the strings...

    I don't think he is a good no 9. But who is more likely to score their chances... Son, Werner, Johnson, Kulu or Maddison? Sometimes you just need a quality finisher to stay on the pitch.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I wonder why Ange doesn't look at the game after 5 minutes and think these w@nkers are going to sit back so only one of Porro or Udogie goes forward at a time? Teams sitting deep will be the reason Ange wins nothing with us. We play to those teams strengths. Also, wtf are Maddison and...

    We had a striker, he had awful service. Isak looked amazing.... But look at the service he got.

    Look on GLC face as he came on said it all. What does Ange expect him to do with no striker on the pitch and 10mins to go?

    I thought Madders has been awful. He is hiding behind players in the attacking third instead of being central. PEH has been more the involved in attacking situations
