wykikitoon 16496 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would like to see Atsu given more game time. He has loads of energy and pace and seems to worry opposition players a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2759 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Unfortunate that he is out injured but CONGRATS to the lad for being honoured with his inclusion into the "Football Manager Team of the Season." Anthony Knockaert (Brighton) [Named POTY] Chris Wood (Leeds) Dwight Gayle David Stockdale (Brighton) Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood) Pontus Jansson (Leeds) Sonny Bradley (Plymouth) Enda Stevens (Portsmouth) Aaron Mooy (Huddersfield) Josh Morris (Scunthorpe) Billy Sharp (Sheffield United) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 He hasn't looked the same player since he got injured against Brentford. Hoping he can get back up to speed for next season, but I'd have doubts he'd be able to lead the line as our first choice striker with this injury record.

The Fish 8949 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Newcastle United can confirm that Dwight Gayle sustained a hamstring strain in his right leg during United's 2-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.Dwight is currently undergoing tests to determine the severity of his injury so it is not yet known how long the player may be out injured.

Dr Gloom 19736 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 it might be his season over tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We're going to need someone up front next season for sure. We probably would've anyway since he's never scored big in the PL but now that hes added a recurring hamstring injury to that it would cause us big issues next time out.

wykikitoon 16496 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Some interesting stats before the game yesterday.I am sure they said we have won more games without Gayle this season. They also showed the strikers who could replace him and the stats showed Mitro was the better choice. He had better stats for passing, chances created, shots etc.I know you can make stats show what you want and I know he's played less minutes than the rest but yesterday I thought Mitro's team play alround was very good. He worked hard holding the ball up and given the fact Leeds two CB basically knocked fuck out of him he kept composed. At one point I thought he was gonna lose it but he did well. He was very aware too about holding it up and running it into the corner. Well worth the start I thought on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Think the stat was we score more when Gayle isn't on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Nah, @@wykikitoon is right. It was something like 80% wins without him (before last night's game) and 67%(?) with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 There's no question Mitro offers more overall. I thought he was superb last night. But I think he had one shot all game? I think he and Gayle together could be lethal, but obviously there are other considerations to how that affects the midfield balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he and Gayle together could be lethal, but obviously there are other considerations to how that affects the midfield balance. The ideal would be if we had a reliable finisher who could play in the hole, running beyond Mitrovic and harassing the defenders from deeper. Anyone know if that Delle Alli that we were in for is any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commentator threw that out at one point, thought it was odd but it's definitely not right since he at least had the chance they said it for and the one where he lobbed the keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
