Match Thread Newcastle v Leicester - EFL Cup QF

[glyn]

But it’s OK as we play a system to bring the best out of Daka apparently. Which as we can see is hugely successful.

 

[popillius]

Eight…

And they've only had 7 shots....

 

[Singapore Fox]

And that's the real story. We have some players that simply aren't good enough; Amartey, Thomas (although he could be), Daka, Perez (although he's a decent squad option) but we also have players that are excellent and have proved this time and time again.

These players haven't just become rubbish overnight so why are they all shadows of themselves? Well, to get the answer you have to look at the things that connect them all and they are the manager and the way they are coached.

Look at the difference new management and coaching made to some of the players in our opposition tonight; Almiron, Wilson etc... These have been given a new lease of life.

Absolutely. I can forgive the fact that we have to make do with a weaker eleven due to injuries, but the players sent out should at least be organised. We look clueless

Also, it's just dawned on me he's once again shat on Nacho despite him being our best player at the weekend.

Said that to the girlfriend earlier. She hates football and still got annoyed that Bodgers won’t play the one who is statistically his best striker in recent years.

 

[glyn]

That is some stat. We’ve won 17 out of our last 21 away tie in this competition, and 3 of the defeats were on penalties. Really??

That's quite a detailed opinion from someone who hates foorvall...

Speaking from experience, I think there's a good chance she's just nodding along with what you say

 

[Brown Nose]

Harvey Barnes is looking up for a battle again tonight. Great player when the going gets tough.

 

[FOX Franks]

And remember everyone we’ve got a defender on the bench, alienated by our manager, that is so bad that only Atletico Madrid are interested in him.

 

[homer]

All set up for a breakaway goal to the soaraway super foxes

Yes. I think so too.

 

[Payne74]

Might as well take Barnes off and play with 10 men

[popillius]

Daka is ****ing useless.

 

[homer]

Why didn’t he shoot, the ****ing idiot ?

 

[Graz]

Why is Daka not shooting!!! Argh, that was actually a great chance!

 

[Blue Maniac]

HE SHOULD HAVE ****ING TWATTED THAT

 

[glyn]

Has Daka lost some confidence? Chance earlier where he could run forward on the break but just passed back too.

 

[M17TT C]

Why didn't Daka shoot??

 

[Graz]

Yes. I think so too.

I should point out - I meant from experience of my wife doing the same. Not experience of your girlfriend...

 

[Miles Away]

Because his confidence is shot to a million pieces. And he might be a bit shit (he certainly is worried he is).
