Bailey Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Whilst Ancelotti should get credit for the changes, was it not the wrong side to start with? Not the easiest time of the year, which I get, but Richarlison wasn't involved until the sub, Sidibe was beaten time and time again at right back and neither Holgate or Keane were dealing with their centre forwards. Davies in central midfield was also a passenger for most of the game and it wasn't until he moved to the inside left position that he found any influence. The changes that were made were perfect, but for them to have such an impact it shows that there were problems to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and I think Ancelotti was holding something back for the City game, he knows if we can go there and get a result the message it will send to the rest of the footballing world would be massive in his quest to attract better players, well it wouldn’t hurt.

He stuck to his word when he could have played it safe. The players still played for the badge (which was a criticism of the last guy). In years past people have been upset when we rotate because the managers canT get the players to click. They did here. Carlo must have something special because it was 7 changes to either position or player and we still won and in the league no less (unlike a cup tie against a lower side). As to why the rotation he said the players needed a rest and I think he wanted a good look at some of them that didn’t play last match or played a different position last match. i was surprised it worked, but it seems Carlo has the rub of the green as you guys say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has to make changes at this time of year or you risk injuring key players. From what I heard we were all over them for 30 mins with 70% possession but then they came back. We held out for a while, they equalised, then Carlo made changes and we won. So no, he got it bang on Newty82 and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 For the first 15-20mins of the game we were absolutely untouchable, Newcastle could not get near us and it was lovely to watch. Davies and Sigurdsson were brilliant during that period - , always finding themselves little pockets of space, winning the ball quickly, using it intelligently. They were our conductors. Thankfully we got at least one goal that our play deserved because after that time it was all Newcastle for the rest of the half. We did well to repel them. The second half was more even and end to end but I was so pleased with the way we responded to them having the crowd right behind them and then to them scoring the equaliser. Not that long ago we'd have capitulated and gone on to lose that game with a whimper but not these days. We showed a lot of steel and heart and withstood it all and then killed the game with a second goal. barryj and Aidan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why managers/coaches are employed. I think we dominated for about 15 mins. We had them penned in and they couldn't get out. We had a few corners on the bounce but from then on we didn't have any control until the subs. I don't think Newcastle actually changed anything, it was just that their plan was better but the circumstances of the game meant that we could pen them in their half. Once we lost that control and couldn't stay on the front foot, they started chipping away at us.
