Think if players are good enough they are tall enough - so many examples of quality forwards who are small.

Joffy likes scoring, has lots of talent and seems to hate losing - he is at an age where he needs to play. He can also play others in pretty well so would give me a go.

Lots of academic research (see the references in the chapters in soccernomics dealing with this) taken from big data sets that the weakest player drags the performance of the team down - we all know where are weak spots are.

Out inability to keep the ball against pressing teams is also a a concern.

Against certain teams we look good because it doesn’t exploit those weaknesses but there aren’t many of those teams in the league and there is a clear way to trouble us and make us concede which I am sure all teams have analysed to death.

Be interesting to see how Adams gets on against Guimaries tonight.

If we plan as much as Orta professes then not sure why we didn’t buy a quality promising left back to develop either!

Newcastle have a lot of quick skilful players who are both good in possession but also on the break during ‘transition’ when they win the ball back. Sure they will look to exploit our left side by playing left and switching play.
