🇩🇪⚫️⚪️ Newcastle need goals. Badly. But since Nick Woltemade has never been prolific, is he really the man to replace Isak? In a word, yes. He's technically excellent, creative, and a magnet for defenders. There's a reason the German's call him Wolte-Messi. youtu.be/yEgp7qDGJ5E #NUFC

One of the weirdest quirks in the Premier League right now concerns Alexander Isak's finishing. He's probably the best centre-forward in the division, but at vital moments his brain can't access the fact he possesses a left foot. He definitely does though... open.substack.com/pub/87minute...

Martin Ødegaard tonight showing you why Arsenal missed him so much. He creates so many goals and chances from that right-sided area outside the box (getting Saka in, crosses to Havertz or Rice, full-backs overlapping down the byline) and there he was for their 2nd goal against West Ham.

Really weird set-up and performance from Newcastle, that. Tonali was the ‘6’, but it never really allowed Bruno to have an impact closer to goal. Almost like a 4-2-3-1 but with two left wingers instead of a 10. They’re really struggling for an identity at present. Concerning. #NUFC

Harry Kane had the fewest touches of any player in the first half, next to zero impact on the match, and less impact on the Irish defence than the siege of Jadotville. Then he gets out wide, puts one outrageous ball in the box, penalty, red card, 1-0, game over. Mad what quality can do.

Adam Clery @adamclery.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Kane's greyed out to show he hasn't been involved enough to get an entirely accurate position. Which obviously says LOADS.

Adam Clery @adamclery.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

The England vs Ireland 'average positions' for the frist half are mad. Of the outfield players, only Geuhi and Ferguson have done more in England's half than Ireland's. And yet not one shot on target for the hosts. About as one-sided as Kanye West's phonecalls but Ireland doing a job on them here

Adam Clery @adamclery.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

When you think about all the defensive options England had going into the Euros, if you'd have told someone that by the end of the year the back four in a 'must-win' game would be Livramento - Walker - Geuhi - Hall they'd have... well I have no idea what they'd have done but it would felt unlikely.
