Are we Newcastle from the 90s?

Fantastic attacking options, quality upfront with plenty of scoring options - but can’t defend.

I’m not suggesting Rodgers is Kevin Keegan but he isn’t known for his defensive approach. No replacement for Maguire means Soyuncu and Benkovic step up for the first time - we had defensive issues last year

So are we set to win or lose games 4-3?? Could be an exciting season at least....

And I also think Barnes would work up front in a two. May see a better version of Kelechi as well as opposed to when he’s a lone striker.

Rodgers teams are always rubbish at defending.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he sorts the attack out first, the transitions, passing , scoring etc and then looks at the defence, problem is when the team starts banging in goals, other clubs come in for the attackers and then it all falls apart before he gets the defence sorted.

He's a brilliant tactical coach in my opinion.

self-patting right?

Kunta Kante - There has been rumour around that we might play a diamond, although I believe we'll at least start the season going for a 4-3-3. Tielemans, Ndidi and Maddison looks potentially potent as the midfield 3, Vardy in the middle up front and then two of Perez, Albrighton, Barnes and Gray either side - who will both likely be subbed for fresh legs part way through.

But I'd also suspect that we won't stay like that all season and that Rodgers will mix it up for certain matches. We might even see the dreaded 3-at-the-back at some point...

Newcastle from 90s or even back to sixties(fairs cup) never won anything.
I for one think Rodgers is good fit for our club, and really think we can do well this season.

Guys - seriously, we’ve got Benkovic at the back. We’ll be rock solid.

But you got 80M for Maguire and he wern't that good anyway, right?

Evans is better, etc
