Not sure it's his positioning, we had 8 up the pitch at the start of the second half, this can only be as a result of instruction from the manager. Somehow we kept them at bay for 20 mins with last ditch clearances, but clearly we were begging to be picked off.
Personally I don't mind...
We have very similar thoughts on the matter.
I personally think we look a 3 at the back squad now. RDZ should take the summer to get his head round it, and go balls on on it in pre season
Barco and Pervis competing for LWB
Solly, Tariq and Hinsh competing for RWB
Veltman, JPVH and Webby...
Some brilliant moments. I thought his shot was his way of saying to the manager, "your no shooting tactics are a load of shit and I'm going to ignore you and do it anyway"
I stood up and applauded him
I guess the most likely outcome is that he comes out of the team for Sunday and Igor slots in. But I think he'll play more than he doesn't for the rest of the season
Agree. I thought he was terrific.
I like the way he properly pings his passes into feet.
An obvious cock up for the Foden goal, but he's being asked to take huge risks at the back, they all are. Those ones are down to the playing style
I believe he is a much better left back than left...
I'm hoping and expecting to see plenty of Barco in the last few games.
Pervis still bang out of form, the Fati gamble looks to be one which won't pay off. The way I see it, let's develop our own player and make sure he's 100% ready for next season
I agree with you. He's 100% ready.
He's one of those young players, that steps on the pitch and has a presence, like he owns the place. He found space, demanded the ball and made things happen. Contrast this with our two other young players, one starting, one from the bench. I wish them...
Complete bell end in every single way.
But the Toon fans, incorruptible judges of character that they are, love him.
Maybe we need a little more fire in the belly sometimes
I want this though.
I want players with fire in their belly. We're too nice most of the time. I'll risk a sending off. What I don't like seeing is the likes of Villa and Fulham, beat us, because they've niggled and snided their way to victory. We need players who can mix it with them in...
