Newcastle United v Fulham post match interviews (video).

Comrade Hughton expresses his disappointment at only taking one point instead of three from the Fulham game after a few near misses in front of goal. However, he praises the organisation and solidity of Mark Hughes’s Fulham team.
Fulham manager, Mark Hughes, also praises the “professional away performance” of his Fulham team (below).
Sorry CH I love you to pieces but “It was important we didnt lose today” speaks volumes.
Guthrie doesnt belong out wide right, so dont expect miracles when its clearly not happened before !
Lovenkrands is an impact player (at best) at this level so dont expect him to perform in the same way he did last season.
We cannot break down massed defences at home with the usual long ball to AC routine all the time.
Look at your squad and then look at how you’ve deployed them. Tiote will miss the next game and Barton the next two so its a no brainer – you have to disrupt the side and bring in players who can make a difference.
Try moving Jonas to his proper right sided position for a start. Give Guthrie the opportunity to play centrally and see the difference in his game. If you must have a DM in place at every home game try taking out one of the back four instead of another MF.
We must not match up against sides who only play with one man up front with a complete back four, where’s the point ? Yes these sides have mobile, support players but we can track them if needed. We need to counteract the 4-5-1’s of this world and we need to use players who are fit for purpose.
IMO we waste a player like Guthrie out wide and Jonas, to a certain extent, on the left. Put them in place and play the formation that suits our game with the players available.
