Though I may be wrong, but I’ve yet to see a team in this EPL as physically strong as these Newcastle players. From defense to midfield and even up front, every single one of them are solid and physically fit. 💪💪💪
Bournemouth comes close or ahead for me,not in terms of height and imposing physique though but da kinda peak sadio mane fitness and athleticism,they will run,press for 90mins and cover all blades of grass...

I once watched semenyo training routine,I was wowed by his fitness

Only one point separate us from man united.

We have won the same number of matches in the league as man united. Just two.

Remember they have played two big matches,Arsenal and city.

Man united fans are calling for Amorin Sack but let sign more defenders for Maresca to play rubbish foolish football to draw half decent teams.
Oga! If you know Maresca's style of play, you will understand he needs an intelligent ball playing defenders that can handle pressure and physical attackers.

Recently, we are losing games because our opponents mount pressure from our defense, forcing the goalkeeper and defenders to kick the ball away instead of maneuvering their way out of the pressure.

Most teams now understand if they allow us build up from the back to the midfield, we will have more time to create chances hence the need to press to cause mistakes which we are experiencing currently.

A ball playing defender and goalkeeper are needed for Maresca to carry out his ideology.

A full chelsea squad can go head to head with barca and the chances of winning will not be complex


Maresca acknowledged that his best CB was out for a long time and needed someone close to his pedigree but met resistance.

How do u expect a backline of Acheampong n hato to dominate and coordinate d defence at one man down....


Reread n understand what u quoted b4 responding.

There is no way those CB will survive d pressure of one man down vs Brighton...

Do u know that Brighton has a 0.01xg just b4 d red cardhuh
Initially, I don't want to reply this but something tells me you are still covered and struck with an illusion and fraud of the bald man and don't want to see the reality. Newcastle came behind with a man down to level Liverpool if not for the last minute goal that saved Liverpool, they would have drawn the match with Liverpool with a man down.

A man down Arsenal drew man city at Etihad last season . A man down Barca wouldn't have much effect. All these boil down to how their teams are structured to manage such situation.


I can bet you that a man down Chelsea would have seen Lincoln city beat the hell out of us. What are you telling me? This team is not structured and disciplined. Look at our last two games and see how they played.... That tells a lot about the coach.

You talking about Hato and Archempong shows how faulty your point is. Put those two guys in Barcelona team and tell me if they will not beat united and Brighton with a man down. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

Huge twist in the Milan/Napoli game. Red card for Estupinian for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity, and penalty for Napoli!

I came here to ask if you were watching the match. It’s been quite interesting.

I thought Conte would go intensity for intensity but he’s surprisingly taken the intelligence/tactical route. Napoli have been good, especially in this second half.

Conte making strange decisions here. Politano, KdB, McTom and Hojlund all taken off. KdB and Hojuju walked off grudgingly.

These are the goal creators and scorers in his team.

Acheampong and Sarr are good enough as CBs for Chelsea, our midfielders are easily overwhelmed against half decent opponents due to lack athleticism and control.
Thank you brother. I don't know why people are not seeing this

Is there a way to inject pace into our game? I just don’t see us moving the ball as fast as other teams, see the high intensity of this match and it’s been a while I’ve seen us play like that
Na quality defender way we no get dey cause am not Maresca philosophy.

In other words, Mikel Obi was wrong, no?

Why are you asking of Arteta when there is Conte, the current Italian champion. Do you need the screenshot?
Chelsea play in Epl and that's where our searchlight should focus on.

The best defence in Epl in like last 4 years, no single Epl to show for it. Stay quiet bro.

You read it right.

Watch whenever man united is a goal down and compare same with Chelsea. That's when these players will scrolling up and down. No urgency, no direction and no objectives. United will, at least, mount some pressures on You to show they need something.

You think the kind of pressure united mounted on us when we were a man down we can replicate it if the reverse was the case?

Even in Stamford Bridge, we can't. That's when you will be seeing snail movement, slow transition and lack of athleticism.


We have a long way to go.

Bro,it is not even when both teams are on a goal down or chasing an equalizer that we can see what we are talking about.

It is evident when we are being pressed,you will see disjointed and irregular passes,break up plays,out of plays.

With man united,delight can pass to Casemiro in the midfield,and even when Casemiro is pressed,he can evade the press and find Bruno to pass to,and that one would do one or two with other midfielders in an attacking sequence before it goes back to Bruno who will in turn find his attacker who may or not score. But Chelsea on the hand,when pressed they would choose to pass sideways or backwards.

We cannot string up passes from defence to attack in a beautiful sequence. You will surely see one irregular movement.

Like you said,we have a long way to go.

This Maresca style will frustrate attacking talent like Estevao.

How many times have Joah Pedro been lucky to face the keeper with ball?

How many times have JP been put on a through ball?

This can be annoying eh. When I watch Barca , I marvel at their display. That's the only team I find solace with now. With them, at least, I'm guarantee of enjoying good football and winnings.

Is Mikel Obi correct here? I'm curious.
What does that one know about footie?

Screaming “outscore outscore” without a single sense of decorum.

Enzo’s lead could have been protected if we had a good balance in midfield providing defensive aegis for the backline and a good backline who weren’t error prone.

It’s a proven point that a good defense wins you trophies.
