Only one person deserved a bit of stick, and that was Stellini. He and Conte are basically one and the same. He has changed nothing. Learnt nothing.
Mistake 1: Sanchez struggles playing RCB or LCB. He can play as a MCB. Every fan and player knows this. But not Stellini. An absolute gob smacking awful decision.
Mistake 2: Porro is crap at the moment. Not ready for the PL. And it is clear we don't have any other options. But Stellini seems to think players aren't capable of switching to a different formation. EG: 4 at the back. With Japhet as a RB.
Mistake 3: Same coaching issue... 90% of games I've watched this season we get overrun in midfield. Without fail. A big part of this has to do with our front three are terrible at winning the ball in tight situations. Especially Son and Kulu. The only time we started to win this area was when Royal was playing as an inverted WB. Again, Stellini refuses to see this and make any changes.
Lastly, the players themselves do not look fully committed through big parts of the game. It's pathetic.
Primary culprit in the last four games has been PEH. He has been so unfocused. Continuously out of position. Lazy in the tackle. And his passing has fallen off a cliff.
But will the coaching staff make any meaningful changes for Newcastle? Of course not.
I have no idea how we are 5th in the league. I've see Spurs teams finish 7th and 8th that would play this pile of shit off the park.
It's also INSANE how much this team depended on Bentancur. And more recently Royal and Davies. Without these three in the starting XI we have suffered.
