It's kinda the cycle which most high-pressing teams have to go through. It works well at first, until other teams simply stop trying to play through. Then you have to change your style to be more possesion-oriented
All fair enough. But I wound point out that against EFC and BHA we created plenty of chances and it was simply poor finishing. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nice lippy in the thumbnail
They need to start playing Almiron again
they need more Arab cash thats why
Basically, skill issue
"why Newcastle can't score" and yet theyve still scored more than united under this fraud
I still think Newcastle made a huge error going for higher quality players so soon, 2 seasons back to back that’s infested with injuries and lack of squad depth yet they don’t invest in less valuable players
They haven't played Chelsea yet
Naa Jacob Murphy is one of Newcastle's best players. Better than Gordon
Hpw long till long ball kick and run tactics come back to expose higg pressing teams before teams can drop back in a low block?
This is why it is advisable to elvovle as a manager tweak 2 or 3 things in your tactics before a new season starts so that teams don't figure out your team too much bc once they do you're doomed that's the EPL for you
That's why Chelsea is not letting madueke leave in August but they can get bakayoko from PSV.
I THOUGHT SANDER JNR SOLVED THIS PROBLEM 💀
The only thing stopping newcastle from solving all their problems is FFP😂
And palmer exploited it
Funny how Chris Wood went from Newcastle’s third choice striker, to one of the best in-form attackers in the premier league at Forest 😂. Not saying he is one of the best strikers in terms of quality, but he has definitely been one of the best strikers this season.
They have over achieved in previous years
Every FM player knows you can’t use the same tactics 2 seasons in a row unless that is cheat meta tactics
Newcastle, Girona, lens, and Stuttgart did incredibly well in one season. Then the next season they lost consistency and performed incredibly bad
What happened to Almiron?!?
