Diffco Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Thomas has done alright tbf. Just no attacking threat. Madders is needed but who does he replace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Phew! That's done now but got to offer more in the 2nd half. After about 60 mins, Barnes for Vardy, Maddison for Tielemans who's done bugger all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as though Smith believes a point is good enough and then he is confident of beating West Ham. We need two wins...playing like this we are not achieving that It could be he's hoping to wear out Newcastle, force a few cards, and then throw some attackers on to hit them quickly?

BigGibbo Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 It's a miracle, and absolutely more by luck than judgment, that we have survived to half time without conceding. We need to actually play to our only strength and attack in the second half now. We are as good as these in attack. Play like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountesthorpeFox1 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 1 minute ago, FoxyJim1987 said: That's pure luck. We look like a league two team. It’s Smiths game plan! expect, he wants this until 65/70 minutes and he will introduce madders, Barnes and Daka and try and get a foothold at that point. Newcastle will naturally sit back if they don’t score by then as they only need the point. that’s our best shot of getting 3 points. It’s just if we can hold off until 65/70 minutes. Half time was certainly needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Maddison on at half time please for Ndidi. Sorry but the game plan is definitely working -- it's 0-0 and he's not made the attacking changes yet Whether that's a good game plan is another question though!

Pliskin Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Performance means **** all. We’ve gone to frustrate them and so far it’s working. It’s clear Smiths ambition is to stay in the game, and then bring Madders and Barnes on, hopefully by this point Newcastle will just have 10 players in our half, and we might, just might catch them on the break…… Its all we can do, in our state we can’t match Newcastle man for man, we’ve just got to try and stay in the game and look to Nick one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxin_Mad Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 To be honest I can't fault the effort. It's ****ing horrific but sometimes horrific is just the job. Keep it tight then go for it final 20. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete disgrace Let's not make out with 10 men this wouldn't end any different. You could reduce Newcastle to 9 or even 8 men and I'd still fancy them to beat us. Hell, send all the players off except for the keeper and we would still pass it round the back. Edited 22 May 2023 by kristianity77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks its unsustainable as it stands you can be sure that Howe will tweak things to exploit whatever spaces we are allowing - as it is they’ve had way too many 2 on 1’s given our shape no point in kel being so high - he looks understandably rusty and we probably could bring on madders for him and inevitably daka for vards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Draw and win takes it out of our hands. Everton will beat Bournemouth. We needs two wins, it's as simple as that. We are giving Newcastle way too much respect and making it far too easy for them to pepper our goal. We need to get the first goal and we aren't even trying. 14 shots to 0 shots is pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabuch Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 This is the best our current (shit) team can hope for. We are never going to outplay Newcastle at home. We''ll bring Barnes and Maddison on at 70 mins and score. The question is, can we hang on until then, and how knackered will everyone be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
