S-Clarke Posted 10 January, 2022 Share Posted 10 January, 2022 Newcastle about to splurge a £35m package on a striker. From the outside, it seems an incredibly steep package for a 19 year old kid who plays for Reims, not really a name. Hugo Ekitike. 8 goals in 19 games this season. The players current value on transfermarkt, which is often a fair guide, is around the £5m mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 10 January, 2022 Share Posted 10 January, 2022 1) Alan Shearer absolutely correct post match.. 2) If that was a Man Utd 'goal' it would have stood. 3) I don't get the Rangnick love in ; he has won nothing, never managed a 'big' club before Man Utd, and he has managed to make the team look worse than they did under Ole.

S-Clarke Posted 10 January, 2022 Share Posted 10 January, 2022 Utd didn't look like they had any idea, no pattern to their play, no general direction in what they were trying to do. Rudderless probably describes that. Villa should have got at least 1 goal without a doubt, they were much better and much more inventive in the attacking third. Not sure what's happened to Rashford, it's not a recent thing either, he's been off it for about 2 years now. Not sure if injuries have ruined his mobility or something, but he's pretty much a pub player out there at the moment. Sad to see, he had so much potential.

He panicks and flaps most of the time. doesn’t install any confidence in the defense for me. I can meet you part way on this, but not as far as you. I find the media sometimes generates a narrative, and anything a player does that broadly meets they exaggerate. With Ramsdale, any save he makes now is met with a 'Another astonishing save by Ramsdale' even if it was a regulation save. I used to keep, and things have probably changed. But I find his positioning a little bit off, which makes his saves look more spectacular because he was out of position. That's fine at the moment because he is seeing the ball so well and his reflexes are sharp. Any drop in form could potentially expose this pretty badly. One way you can sometimes judge whether the keeper is using technique or just their eye is where the ball goes after making a save. A good keeper with strong foundations will not just make the save, but will automatically ensure the ball is played out of danger. A bit like a boxer like Usyk, it is just ingrained in their technique. A keeper using their eye won't be able to do this as well, and I have noticed that Ramsdale will parry the ball back into the danger, especially with low shots. Pickford used to do this. That said, he is doing much better than I expected. My gut is that people are getting a little carried away. But he has also shown enough to me that there is a reasonable chance I am wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 14 January, 2022 Share Posted 14 January, 2022 Brighton v Palace tonight. A Brighton win will keep us where we are in 11th, but would put them 6 points ahead of us. Anything other than a home win and Palace would leapfrog us (at least until tomorrow), but Zaha is away at the AFCON and their record without him is like ours without Stu.
