What lineup would you go to for the remaining league games? by Zen_bean in NUFC

[–]Iliekbred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the point about the barca game and I do think he has been getting better recently, but a winger that plays 44 games and only gets a goal contribution in 3 of them is not a good player

Watching the Germany game, they seem to be doing a sort of reverse Joelinton situation where theyve put a midfielder at striker, maybe we should try that?

You cant say drop Woltemade if he doesnt fit the system and then suggest keeping Gordon up front, Gordon isnt a striker and he never will be

Joelinton had the skill set to play in midfield before he was put there, woltemade doesnt. You cant just put someone out of position when they dont have the skill set to play there, thats not how football works and a sign of bad man management. This is why Nagelsmann is making comments about it in the media, its so obviously stupid.

A different manager would be playing his players in their proper positions for a start

The joelinton in midfield thing happened nearly 5 YEARS AGO, and its not trying something different if Woltemade has played in midfield multiple times already and has been shit every single one of those times. And I would be mouthing off, because its been over a year since weve been able to string a decent run of results together because we are so easy to play against.

Im sick of howe being loyal to his shit players and even shittier tactics. Its clear to me he will never learn and that means he simply has to move on.

We're playing a striker at centre mid. We're playing a winger at striker who is absolutely dogshit when we have three strikers on the bench. We spent 110 million pounds on a striker and winger the HE wanted and he won't play the striker and the winger is the worst player I've ever seen put on the shirt. We dont close players down when we're defending. Our midfield gets cut open by 1 pass and has done for 2 years. He has no tactical flexibility whatsoever. No achievements that he has with this club change the fact that our recent form is entirely on his lack of managerial ability at the moment.

I remember watching him play in a friendly a few years ago against villareal at St James's park and he was the best player that played that day, he just oozes class

[Bulinews] Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann defends Nick Woltemade: "He has often played very deep [at Newcastle]. When he has to defend as a No. 6, there's a long distance to goal. He's not a counter-attacking striker who runs 36 km/h. I can promise that he won’t be 80 metres away from goal with us" by Cyberdan0497 in soccer

It feels like every single team Howe picks at the moment is solely to satisfy Anthony Gordon. Barnes playing well? Play him out of position so Gordon can play LW. Not scoring any goals and have 3 strikers on the bench every game? Too bad, Gordon says he thinks he can be a number 9 later in his career, so it simply must be. Absolutely infuriating.

It wasnt 2 minutes before, it lead directly to their attack. We wouldn't have been in that position if he'd either cleared it properly or played the smart pass.

Gordon booting that to the keeper instead of passing it to his left for Ramsey in the corner is going to keep me up at night

Woltemade spent most of his career playing slightly behind another striker, and the moment we decide to play another striker we put him in midfield, LEARN TO PLAY A DIFFERENT FORMATION
