Why Why Why

Simple question for Sir Neil. Why do we defend so deep. Newcastles first goal ended up with most of our defenders on the 6 yard line. Why wasn't their player tackled in the middle of our half before he got to the box. We have been doing this all season. Time to change tactics.

not blaming Niasse { new,not MF,and no one knows what to expect of him }, but he did track the player into the area, was it not reasonable for our other players to assume he would have dealt with it, or tracked longer. tbh I thought he should have tripped him over 5 yards outside the box, Arter, Gunner would have.

It was screaming out for someone to take him down, couldn’t believe nobody did.
