Hope Ange and the players are watching the scum on how you should press and fill up with players in the box when playing a high line.
Arsenal played midweek and yet their running and pressing is so far above us it is scarry
Well yes, but we looked like having better press the first 6 games. Now it looks like to many players are comfertable.TBF they’ve been working at it for a long time.
Or we had a decimated squad for months and only new getting that side back? Which is also a young squad that is learning with each game.Well yes, but we looked like having better press the first 6 games. Now it looks like to many players are comfertable.
Arsenal have been good but Newcastle have been dross.Have Newcastle been in the Arsenal half for more than a second yet?
Sure but i do think it is more a mentality thing also, they have been back a long time now and the high press together and being "on it" should not fall of like that. It looks like we are having more trouble not playing 2 times a week.Or we had a decimated squad for months and only new getting that side back?

Arteta has been at it for a few years now with the majority of this squad, so it's no wonder they're good doing it when they have been training it for that long compared to us for half a season.
Newcastle have been dross because of the press by Arsenal. They are being forced into mistakes.Arsenal have been good but Newcastle have been dross.
The team needs matches to get proper sharpness, the lack of matches means we can't get the rhythm going properly.Sure but i do think it is more a mentality thing also, they have been back a long time now and the high press together and being "on it" should not fall of like that.

Keep fighting the good fight mate!The team needs matches to get proper sharpness, the lack of matches means we can't get the rhythm going properly.
Arsenal press like demons for the first 30 minutes. If you're still in the game by then, then its game on.No coincidence the top three teams in the PL press like demons. And let's be honest two of those are in the five best sides in the world right now.
