Danny Murphy is “astounded” Eddie Howe did nothing in answer to Nuno Espirito Santo’s “recognizable” system that carried upon Newcastle to rot against Nottingham Woodland on Boxing Day.
Newcastle took the lead at St James’ Park yet run out up throwing away 3-1 to Forest, as previous demonstrator Chris Timber netted a hat-secret via Anthony Elanga unleashing two of the help as he carried upon Dan Melted unquestionably no end of troubles on the Magpies’ fled hand side.
Melted, having altogether reappeared from injury, was inevitably replaced on the hour mark by Tino Livramento, yet Murphy was staggered Howe didn’t administer the readjust earlier.
“Sometimes means aren’t that made complex,” he stipulated. “Newcastle play a high line at residence, they press. For Dan Melted on the fled hand side, he’s been out a couple of months and he’s fighting for match fitness. Woodland tinkered Elanga on the correct hand side and despondent to receive the bulbous in behind that place down the correct hand side every single avenue they can.
“It was so willful and so recognizable from minute one, and to be mart to Elanga, he preserved lugging out it. He preserved dashing without the bulbous in behind that place. This was the trend with one voice via the initially fifty percent especially.
“That’s been functioned on by Nuno. He’s undeniably chatted about it, he’s seen the crew sheet, Elanga on that correct hand side is one of the shortest wingers in the Premier League by the way. He’s awfully straining to play against.

“Newcastle didn’t note the last words. Too intermittently Woodland didn’t receive the last bulbous to [Elanga], yet he was in oceans of place time and time anew.
“I was astounded at fifty percent-time via Livramento on the bench that Eddie Howe didn’t readjust it provided that he’s such an smart boss, yet he couldn’t go to it. Initially ten seconds of the 2nd fifty percent, what occurs? Elanga avails the bulbous out correct, beats Melted comfortably, whips it in and it ought to have been a eagerness.
“The fact was that the game was opened up up and executed less complex for Woodland by the place down that correct hand side. Over fifty percent of the whacks were down the correct hand side, and I assume Nuno deserves credit provided that it was a undisputable system.”
