Yep, goal happened because Romeu waited an age to decide what to do while surging forward, a pass was on but he blasted it and Newcastle blocked and broke. JWP then pussied out of a strong challenge and the rest is history.
We look like a much better team than them but they have a couple of guys that are real game changers. We don’t really have that. We have to graft hard to win whereas they can get away with an off day but St Max smashing in a screamer.
Hopefully that’s not all we had and we’ve saved some juice for the 2nd half.
I’m a bit concerned about the play of Romeu and JWP but it would be brave of Ralph swap one out for Diallo.
Get at them early and perhaps get Tella on for Moussa or Ely on 60-65 minutes.
