we're not playing defensive....we've had more than enough chances to punish Newcastle this half
defensively no
pretty shit....yes
so playing 1 up front (at home) against a team which has just been promoted is not defensive?
playing two holding midfielders is not defensive?
AJ on the bench and milner playing instead isn't defensive?
What do you want us to do? Play 1-1-9?
We're playing 4-3-3....we have been in behind them time and time again. We have stretched them and should have scored more than 1.
There are three midfielders, Nigel is playing a holding type role but none of them is parked in front of the back 4 purely shielding.
Milner is not remotely playing a defensive role
As I said we are playing shit but we are not playing defensively....we are neither holding onto the ball in a defensive manner nor booting it out in a defensive manner. We are simply turning the fucking thing over and over again like amateurs
