Emery ball is really hard to watch. Basically just run around, and hope our strikers create something outta nothing.
We still gonna struggle to create chances playing Emery(work rate) ball. Just hope our strikers can keep up their high conversion rate.
And that came in April.
Newcastle played pretty dirty and should have ended up with 4-5 bookings at least - Atkinson was poor
we held our nerve though and given it was a maskeshift we side did well enough - the goal was a great pass and finish
Mhki was awful, everyone else ok though it took a while for Auba to find hiis touch
Missed the game but sounded much like a lot of our away performances over the past couple of years.
Still, a clean sheet and a win to start the season with a lot of regulars missing. I’ll take that.
On we go.
It was far more comfortable than our usual away performances, that might speak to the attributes of Newcastle's players but it was pleasant not being overly concerned we only had a 0-1 lead for once.
That Maxi bloke had me worried to start off with, but the rest of the barcodes were a little bit shit.
They took off Shelvey who seemed to be he one breaking up our play, so Mrs Doubtfire did us a favour there.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
