No idea what Thomas was doing in the build up before the corner. Should of tried to win the ball. Brain dead. Must be something when playing on the left like Barnes. 

This. He simply gave up on the 50-50 ball

[Shane]

Have we paid off Sky to big up Chris Davies? He’s been mentioned about three times and they’re calling him our set piece coach?

That goal knocked the stuffing out of us and we lost hold of the ball and started to look nervous at the back. I’d be tempted to bring in fofana at some point and I could see Maddison making an appearance too if it stays at 1-1. 

Fofana is not on the bench.

Confidence, simple.

Yes confidence but he is making good runs just no one finding him. He does work hard which is good to see. He needs better service. Actually any service.

Getting pissed off with skys coverage too. I wanna see a replay of when Daka went down for a peno and when Target l (yet again) went through the back of his leg causing him to go off for treatment.

The sky coverage team have been choking to mention the Newcastle support at every available opportunity. 

 

They just ignored it for the first fifteen minutes when it was crap. 

 

Just narrative driven bullshit that you expect from sky. 

[NaijaFox]

We have gotten behind their defense a few times, but need to do better in the final third...

No idea what he’s been doing since Liverpool at home, seems like Salah is still in his pocket. Been terrible all first half but it’s just a continuation of all his performances in 2022

[tsintskaro]

Mendy, Thomas and Daka are woeful 

few changes needed asap

[lgfualol]

Dodgy goal to concede. Need to sort final ball out.

As above. A narrative they can continually mention in the hopes of being correct

 

[foxes_rule1978]

We have conceded some poor goals from corners, but that one seriously is the most embarrassing… everyone just ball watching and waiting for them to score

Going to have a job with that one he's not on the bench...

Schmeichel has had a howler but why doesn't VAR show it from before with Burn climbing over the back of our player?

If Chris Davies is our set-piece coach, can we please Sack Him? We concede way more than we score!

I don't know why people are struggling to see this. Daka has to drop into midfield or pull on to the wing to ever get a touch. What do they want him to do?

They’re probably just as amazed as us that we scored from a corner 

[Sunbury Fox]

Sick of Alan Smith being on co-comms on all of our Sky games.

In fairness they mentioned several times how good it was in the build up.

Pretty sure it came off Burn's arm too, the reverse angle seemed to show it, but ah well

[Tom12345]

Need to change. 

 

Bring Justin to the left and replace Thomas with Castagne to play on the right.

1000 attempts later we score from a corner. What a set piece genius!

If they're calling him our set piece coach, there's no way they're bigging him up

They did check it and didn’t see anything wrong. 
My issue is the fact Amartey would rather try stop the defender winning a clear header as opposed to anyone going to win the header ourselves. Weak mentality, no one prepared to be aggressive and attack the ball

That's life as a forward, sometimes you have to live of scraps especially playing away from home in a side that's made 8 changes.

 

Hopefully we can create something second half for him, I fancy him for pace against their whole back 4.
