There is an issue with this sort off thought process.
In that newcastle have more leverage than every one around them already.
They have a bigger stadium and fan base than most of the clubs in and around them while also having serious money to play with now.
As long as they have good decision makers, they'll fly up the league towards europa spots of the back of that.
Then they also have serious monetary advantages for wages and transfer fees over some of the bigger teams which allows them to grow.
This sort off language was probably used for Man city before they won the league etc.
Look at them now.

Newcastle's owners also have the added advantage of political pressure of wanting to do better than Sheikh mansour's man city
When u consider the motivation of Sports washing, political pressure of Man City's owners and then the advantages newcastle united have over most clubs around them...
They should and will fly up with good leadership.
It just depends on whether they have good leadership
Newcastle's pull will allow them to win the transfer battle over a lot of clubs in and around them, even before u consider the owners they have.
I can see them finishing top 8 next szn for instance with the right manager and signings.
It's a sorry state of affairs that this is where football is though,
The premier league has essentially ruined football by allowing Glazers, Kroenkes etc. Into the league as well as Abramovich and the owners of City and Newcastle.
It's a damning indictment of the PL

A LATE ANALYSIS OF LIVERPOOL MAN CITY:
A potentially key match in the title picture, this was a battle that showcased Pep and Klopp at their very best, making numerous ingame tactical tweaks to turn the tide.
DISCLAIMER: APOLOGIES FOR VIDEO QUALITY, SEEMS TO BE A METTRICA ISSUE,
Both Liverpool and Man City had issues while pressing from a structural perspective, resulting in them losing the control of the game before tweaking mid game.
In this thread we will look at
1. The line ups
2. The initial set ups
3. The issues with those set ups
4. The changes
1. Line ups:
Both teams lined up in their usual 4-3-3’s. Liverpool had Jota up front and Milner took the place of TAA who was unavailable.
City lined up with Foden and Jesus on either wing and Grealish up front, unlike the game in midweek vs PSG where Sterling and Mahrez featured ImageImage

THREAD📜

PSG fielded their deadly trio and 3 second phase midfielders.
Meanwhile, City lined up with two 8/10’s in KDB and Bernardo.
Pep went for Sterling up front who has been in and out of City’s side since KDB came back from injury last szn.

HOW SHOULD CITY BEAT CHELSEA?
Pep’s side played Chelsea under Tuchel on 3 occasions last szn and lost.
In light of their clash today, I had a look at the 2 key issues that City had in the CL Final and what might be done to mitigate them.
BUILD UP ISSUES:
City built up in a 3-1 shape in the Cl final, with walker dropping to make a 3 and Gundogan as a single pivot.
Further forward, city had 3 options between the lines with zinchenko pushing up.
Kdb would hold the lines and could easily interchange with Foden.
The issues was that chelsea’s 5-2-3 midblock with a narrow front 3 meant that Che blocked the pivot easily and forced City wide into the trap.
City struggled to find their btl options and build through the centre.
City’s set up also left CHE’s narrow 3 free to counter.

Vdb didn't do much wrong today.
He also didn't do much wrong vs young boys.
And yet somehow, united would be miles better if he was not playing or was playing further forward with an actual pivot player deeper.
Thts the reality.
He roams too much, which leaves u without passing options deeper.
And leaves u exposed in transition.

A player being good doesn't make the player right for you.
And equally, if a player ain't great for someone else doesn't mean he won't be top for you.
Donny van de beek cannot play in the pivot for me.
He just roams forward and to the wings too much to be considered a good pivot player.
Martial was an issue, but vdb being in the pivot was a bigger issue

The Artful Dodger: A case study on Edinson Cavani.

Match Analysed: Tottenham 1-3 Man Utd

I decided to look at the movement of Edinson Cavani using his performance vs Spurs away, one of his best in a Utd shirt and look at why ole wants him to stay.
In this thread we’ll see:
1.The positions he picks up+ how he stays unmarked
2.favoured runs
3.Corners
4.Him vs the rest
5.Involvement in goals
NOTE: due to character limits, I have used some short forms
1. Positions Picked Up & Method of Staying Unmarked:
Cavani is a CF similar to pre-Pep Aguero. He stays upfront, mostly on the blind side of the opp. CB to the ball. Hence, he is always ready to attack a cross if the play continues down that side.
This is Blindside positioning

DECODING: Aaron Wan Bissaka- Part 2
Man Utd 4-2 Everton
in light of UTD's interest in Trippier, i analysed some of AWB's pre season performances.
This is a breakdown of AWB vs Everton.
AWB played 59 minutes in this match before getting subbed for Dalot.
(note: no audio on clips)
Utd lined up in their familiar 4-2-3-1, with many first teamers like Shaw, Bruno etc. returning from post euro breaks.
VDB interestingly lined up in the double pivot and all though he did push on sometimes, he generally performed a fairly similar function to Scott or Fred
Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1 ( 4-4-2 block) with James & Gray interchanging in central areas.
Iwobi & Townsend were outwide and they stayed wider by the lines. When they did tuck in, the fullbacks would push up.
*Iwobi played on the left and Townsend right unlike in the graphic
