Newcastle United v AFC Bournemouth

[dragonm8]

Does anyone else feel like our press has gone slightly off the boil in recent games? The effort is still there but it feels like teams are playing around it quite easily atm.

Other teams are learning which spaces to pass in to, when they beat the press.

The press has been very good today imo....Newcastle playing a lot of long balls because of it.

That’s fair. My stream has been awful so I’ve not seen as much of the game as I’d like haha.

 

[USCherry]

The Newcastle fans do not like this ref at all

Yeah....the whole of Jason's body is ginger, not his hair.

Not mutually exclusive.

Hard to maintain for full matches or in double match weeks I suppose. Also, the better teams should in theory be able to play around it through excellent passing and movement, not necessarily Forest or Fulham, though.

[Topfarrier]

Loooollllll......How's that for a press.

 

[CherryInHove]

lol. That was completely not deserved but will take it.

 

[USCherry]

Goalkeeper with a howler!!

 

[USCherry]

Yeah that was all press, Solanke with the presence to go straight to the keeper when he closed in on their defender

Haven’t seen the goal yet. I’m personally blaming the stream for my lack of ball knowledge.

 

[dragonm8]

Don't water the pitch Eddie.

 

[MB1980]

Have we swapped keepers at h/t?


GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLanke!!!!!

 

[Cherriess]

Right. Can we give Tav a rest and bring on Sini now?

 

[billythekid]

Solanke keep up his record of not going more than two games without a goal.

0-1.

 

[Ken Baileys Ghost]

Here we fucking go

 

[Topfarrier]

That can't be a pen surely.

 

[CherryInHove]

That can't be a pen surely.

It certainly wouldn't be if it was the other way around but who knows this time.

This has to be offside
