We'll miss Tiote when he gets his inevitable ban like.

 

Might just be me, but there seems a bit of a conspiracy to give him a quick yellow in matches. Just summat I noticed. The last one was a joke...For a tiny bit of shirt pulling which is normally a telling off.

 

It's an occupational hazard for a defensive midfielder. He makes a lot of tackles and he seems to have a football brain and knows when to take a booking for the team. He did remarkably well to get thru the Derby like.

There was a really interesting stat during half time on the coverage here which listed Arsenal's attack as 75% through the centre and the other 25% divided fairly evenly between each wing, whereas ours was almost 1/3 split left, centre, right. Now considering Arsenal in Nasri and Walcott have two outstanding wide players, it said it all about how we were taking it to Arsenal - as shown in the Zonal Marking article.

I love those type of stats/articles.

 

Shows how important Bartons was.

 

Biggest plus for me was that Hughton tactically nailed it. Even with the goal:

 

Barton

 

“It can be frustrating for me sometimes because you are trying to put a ball in and trying to get the keeper to come out to try to claim.

 

“You try to put it where he isn’t going to win it.

 

“We got one right for Andy and it ended up in the back of the net.

 

“It’s something we’ve worked on with Chris.

 

“We tried to isolate the keeper, because both of Arsenal’s keepers have a habit of not being great at coming for crosses.

 

“They try to over-emphasis and come out for everything.

 

“It was frustrating early doors because the window of opportunity is about two foot.

 

“If it’s too high, it goes out of play.

 

“Thankfully, we got one right and the big man does what he does best and put it away.”

That shows quality right there, you have a Manager whos highlighted a flaw in the opposition team and we have the quality of player to put a 35yard cross into a 2foot window for the big man to get onto the end of and they've worked on it all week

 

Speaks volumes of the coaching team to identify it and the playing team to say "yeah sounds good, lets work on it" then to have the confidence to do it in the match and it to come off

 

I've always felt with Newcastle (even since KK days) that the guys would run out, round some cones, through some poles and its job done, here and now it feels like the Coaching staff already know the flaws in the other teams and the day after the last game they are working with the players to take advantage of these flaws
