Newcastle 2 Nottingham Forest 0 – The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly nufc
“We are lacking players who are willing to take a pop from outside the box”, I said last week.It astonishes me how reviewers can resolutely stick a number to a player’s performance without taking the rest of the team into consideration.
I listen to journos telling us that a manager has a hard decision to make and I think “well it’s either a good player or a good player – it’s hardly going to keep him awake at night!” But I tell you what, Eddie Howe’s going to have a couple of sleepless nights trying to decide if it’s going to be Schar or Botman.
There was a lot of talk of Almiron’s goals pre-season giving him confidence, and “it’s all about confidence”. Well it doesn’t appear that “confidence” improves decision making skills. Miggy gets into some great positions but what he does next is the stuff of horror movies. If you’ve ever watched the highlights put out by NUFC TV with commentary by John “why didn’t he just” Anderson – you’ll know that some day Miggy is going to put Ando in hospital with his decision making.
The good news is he’s still young. I think if Howe is going to work his magic on any player this season, it should be WillockBefore you start flinging your keyboards at the screen, Ugly can be a decent performance, just not good enough to get into the “Good” bracket. Think “rough around the edges”. As Sergio Leone didn’t make a film called “The Good, The Bad, and the Rough Around the Edges”, we’ll go with “Ugly”.
