Carroll is just a lamp post nowadays, isn't he. More involved in the defence for Newcastle than he is in their attacks.
We pack the box then don't cross
Willian is embarrassing
We have short corners designed to get something out of him, and he does fuck all
Auba really can't figure out how to play with anyone out there.
It's just chaos when we attack
Pepe’s first touch is far too inconsistent to play the type of one touch football that created our 2nd goal against West Brom last week. To play that type of ball you need predictability. Where players will run and how they will control. He lacks a bit of both as dangerous as he is.
I hate short corners with a passion

Agreeb, Elneny has been very good today so far.

Who doesn't?
Sneaky fouling from Cedric. First clever thing I've ever seen him do.
This has smash and grab written all over it.
Was barely a foul let alone a yellow.
Poor by Aubameyang. Doesn't have the feel for passing. Times his pass wrong and puts the receiver under a lot of pressure.
You could say he's the opposite of Özil. One has the finishing but not the passing, the other vice versa.

The players who take them, the coaches who order them, people with mental issues
Cedric so blatantly rusty
that was crap really. we're screwed if saka gets injured
I'm surprised a lot of folks are praising this. Yes, the intent is there but we really do lack top quality with the guys out there tonight.
Pepe/Nelson were hungry and pushed the temp, but neither looks close to producing a goal/assist. That's concerning as chances for Auba were limited and Willian was dreadful.
Looks like we're overly relaint on Tierney today.
That was a bit blunt but still better than what we've seen for a lot of this season. Auba is a real issue. Pepe and Nelson have had some issues but without a functioning centre forward its very hard to do anything.
I really don't know what to do about Auba at this stage. Anyone else and I'd say bench them 100%.
No Saka no penetration. Wish we had someone like Wilshere on a pay for play 6 month deal to support the team with the less important games.
