"...will be a Newcastle player, 100%!” | 5 Things We Learned From Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle United

with a deal set to be 100% done he'll be he'll be at Newcastle next week 100% 100% tap SOA has also dropped a massive update on his future after Newcastle open talks final one about yourself there are all sorts of stories you know what's coming you're here for the season right in a grueling match Newcastle managed to bag a point against Bournemouth from the Super Subs to the V and referee assist to revealing Eddie how tactical problem as per join us as we discuss the five things we learned from Bournemouth one Newcastle United W let's go starting off with Eddie how's lineup problem once again Newcastle fans were left scratching their heads at Eddie how's team selection with the manager's decision to start Lloyd Kelly over the inform Lewis Hall proving to be a costly one how's risk averse approach was evident in his choice to field the more experienced Kelly potentially wary of how Hall had struggled with the physicality of bournemouth's seeno in a previous encounter at this ground however this conservative move backfired as Lloyd Kelly failed to cope with the threat posed by the visitors man of the match Zeno the Bournemouth Winger often had the better of Kelly putting the Newcastle fullback on the back foot and causing problems down his side the goal that ultimately decided the match came from a cross down Kelly's flank summing up the defender struggles on the day which were reflected in his underwhelming 6.5 match rating offensively Kelly offered little managing just 44 touches no key passes no accurate crosses and no accurate long balls in contrast the introduction of Hall in the second half provided a much needed injection of drive and quality on the ball despite only playing 21 minutes Hall registered a more impressive 7.2 match rating showcasing his Superior technical ability with 20 touches 86% passing accuracy one key pass one accurate cross and two accurate at long balls the decision to start Kelly overhaul proved to be a costly one as the former failed to provide the necessary defensive solidity or attacking threat that Hall has demonstrated in recent outings how's cautious approach backfired and even cost me points in my fantasy team as I had Lewis Hall with Hall's impressive Cameo the clamor for the young fullback to be given a more prominent role will only grow louder how must find a way to balance his team's defensive needs with the attacking dynamism that hul provide then the second key takeaway from newcastle's disappointing result was the glaring lack of quality within the squad a problem that has seemingly persisted despite the club's financial resources and ambition the performance of players like sha longstaff and Jacob Murphy highlighted the technical limitations that continue to hamper the magpie's progress at the highest level longstaff in particular struggled to impose himself on the game managing just 40 touches 30 accurate passes one key pass zero accurate crosses and and zero long balls thereby offering little in the way of creativity as evidenced by his 6.8 match rating despite a few tidy onews with Bruno gimz who had an 8.0 match rating winning a massive 11 out of 13 ground duels being Central to newcastle's creativity as shown in the passing networks and being the highest of any player in progression via carry and pass longstaff appeared slow and one paced easily muscled off the ball on several occasions this was a far cry from the dynamic Progressive play that Newcastle fans have come to expect from their midfielders similarly Murphy failed to deliver losing the ball more than any other player recording a 6.5 match rating with no shots no successful dribbles and a passing accuracy of just 67% the Winger managed just one key pass zero accurate cross and one accurate long ball out of five attempts providing little in the way of attacking threat or end product it's also worth mentioning that a large part of our first half issues were with playing out and when you have a craft and burn pairing that's expected the return of botman share and a potential new signing I will discuss later in the video fixes that otherwise these performances serve as a stark reminder that although some Newcastle players have the attitude and passion newcastle's Squad still lacks the overall quality required to compete at the highest level consistently the much vaunted pressing game that has been a Hallmark of Eddie how's tenure appears to be faltering further exposing the technical deficiencies within the squad as Newcastle embark on the next stage of their ambitious project the club must be ruthless in its pursuit of players who can Elevate the overall quality of the squad mere preseason performances are no longer enough the time has come for the magpies to make the leap and compete with the best that the premier league has to offer then the third thing we learned was the Super Subs while the performance of Newcastle starting 11 left much to be desired the impact of the substitutes provided a glimmer of hope and highlighted the technical quality that the magpies are so desperately lacking the introduction of Lewis Hall and Kieran trippier in the second half proved to be a GameChanger with both players showcasing the kind of quality that Newcastle will need if they are to continue their upward trajectory trippier in particular demonstrated his value to the team allowing Newcastle to maintain possession and control the tempo of the game more effectively the fullbacks technical ability on the ball was evident in his pinpoint passes and dangerous deliveries from set pieces underlining the importance of his presence in the side very few fullbacks with his ball playing ability with his Crossing ability with his set play delivery etc etc and um he really helped us today calm things down as you say used his experience and um brought a renewed threat with Anthony on our right hand side so uh I love Kieran as a footballer I always have managed him twice been very lucky to do so and I'm desperate to keep him interestingly Karen trippier left the field emotional as he thanked the away fans at the Vitality stadium with some speculating that it might have been a good buy amid his potential exit according to recent reports trippier asked to leave the club and Everton were said to be in talks with Newcastle over a lone move for Kieran tripier as the fullback has a very strong relationship with Shawn D however Eddie how in his pre-match interview claimed that Kieran trippier is a massive part of new Castle's future and how also explained why trippier has been on the bench trips has trained really well this week um I'm surprised at a lot of the uh stories that have come out uh a valuable member of the squad his professionalism has been first class um he trained really well since he's come back from the Euros I think he's only had two weeks training hence the decision to not stting at the weekend and also Tino's had a very good preseason um and yeah that's the situation he continues to be really valued by all of us so has he expressed a willingness to leave or desire to stay no but neither he hasn't had to so he's just trained as normal um and he's been as I said very good so yeah I'm not really sure where this this has come from similarly Harvey Barnes as a Super Sub offered a consistent threat down the Left Flank linking up play quickly and delivering a perfectly waited cross for the inevitable Gordon who had a 8.0 match rating to score barnes's 7.5 match rating 100% passing accuracy two key passes two accurate crosses and two big chances created highlighted the impact he can have when given the opportunity the fourth thing we learned was that newcastle's luck masked deeper issues in Bournemouth draw while Newcastle United may have emerged from their clash with Bournemouth with a point it would be a mistake to Overlook the underlying issues that were exposed during the match the magpies were undoubtedly fortunate to avoid a defeat with a late Bournemouth goal being disallowed due to a hand ball and Jing's questionable Clos line Challenge on the goalkeeper going unpunished could easily have resulted in a straight red card ultimately the draw against Bournemouth highlights the need for Newcastle to address the fundamental issues within their squad rather than simply celebrating the good fortune that has come their way the team's Ambitions of European qualification will require a level of performance that they have not consistently demonstrated thus far and the magpies must be willing to make the necessary adjustments to achieve their goals then moving on to the fifth thing and that is newcastle's transfer business heating up so having had open talks with B Leverkusen over Defender Edmund tap SOA he has recently dropped a huge bombshell dagger to appe the hope of a potential move to Newcastle final one about yourself there are all sorts of stories you know what's coming you're here for the season right yes I'm fly focused in liver pusen and uh this season like we fight for everything every time we win like some title and I'm full focused on lius good because we want to keep talking to you okay thank you don't go running away thank you very much so although Newcastle United are continuing to explore alternative defensive options such as Axel daasi they are said to be edging closer to reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace for the signing of Mark grahe according to Sky Sports Keith Downey there was cautious optimism that a deal could be struck by the weekend with palis privately accepting that it would be beneficial to cash in on the highly rated English Defender while his value is at its peak despite the delay in the deal being finalized as was initially indicated the transfer is still in motion during this weekend Clinton Morrison speaking on Sky Sports News stated that he is certain GUI will be a Newcastle player by next week oh he'll be he will be at Newcastle next week 100% yeah Mark gayy will be a Newcastle player next week I think it will happen it definitely will happen no no listen 100% that's my my opinion 100% it will happen they're not miles apart they only and that's Eddie how's number one target he didn't really have anyone else in mind that he said to his board go and get Mark gayi and surely pal he's got two years left at Palace to try and get something like 70 million for Mark gayy I think it' be fantastic listen they've lost Joy manderson is a huge blow so Palace have to spend but Mark Gay I think he will be a Newcastle player next week the potential move has been further supported by comments made by Crystal Palace manager Oliver glasner who suggested that there may be too much noise around the club potentially hinting at the ongoing speculation surrounding gu's future interestingly during palace's recent 2-nil defeat against West Ham GUI was seen applauding the home fans individually at selhurst Park which some supporters have speculated could have been a goodbye gesture further ing the belief that a move to Newcastle is imminent in the match itself GUI again captained Crystal Palace and put in a solid performance and was praised for his commanding display and ability to keep mikale Antonio at Bay despite the loss and losing possession 17 times during the match more than any other player GUI was also one of palace's highest rated players on sofa score with a match rating of 7.0 he recorded three clearances three blocked shots two tackles zero times dribbled fast 84% passing accuracy eight accurate long balls and six duels one underlining his passing and defensive prowess interestingly in the game despite being the central defender in the three Center back formation gu's heat map from the match suggests that he is more comfortable operating in the right center back position an area where Newcastle currently lacked depth and comparing him to sha out of those 13 metrics GUI beats sha in 12 of those 13 metrics this could make him an ideal fit for Eddie how's Tactical set up as the magpies seek to solidify their defensive unit and mount a strong challenge in the Premier League season so as the transfer deadline approaches all eyes will be on the developments surrounding the guehi Saga newcastle's willingness to break their transfer record to secure his Services speaks volumes about the club's ambition and their belief in the 24-year-old's potential to make a significant impact at St james' park and if you would want to know about unbelievable story of how one cross
