Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Having him and Aguerd either side makes us far more dangerous going forwards. Both are very good passers.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Shame about their goal, as I thought he was fine other than that. And even the goal I wouldn’t put down to him alone.
I heard he went off at half time because of an injury. So I hope he’s okay.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Didn’t catch most the game as was at the rugby but I have to say the criticism for him for their first goal was well over the top.
Don’t get me wrong he’s been a huge disappointment so far but that goal is on Oggy (who I think has done well recently). From the comments I was expecting him to have been positioned horrendously, but that would only be true from a still photo. If you watch the goal play out he did little wrong and was obviously concerned with another Newcastle player running on the outside of him. Tbh I have no idea how he played but he shouldn’t be scapegoated for the goal.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
He actually played really well and was key to our best spell as he was good at intercepting and moving it on further forwards. It’s like some people pick players they dislike to take a pop at.stu1 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 8:43 pm Didn’t catch most the game as was at the rugby but I have to say the criticism for him for their first goal was well over the top.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
If he stepped up Wilson would have been offside. However after that he was very good and made some excellent interceptions.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Harsh. It is a great pass and excellent run. Sometimes you’ve just got to appreciate good play by the opposition.
Wilson is a master of those runs.
Thought Kehrer did well. Good front foot defending and almost played in midfield when we had the ball enabling us to keep possession better.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Thilo is at his best when he is allowed to defend "on the front foot". Progressive defending, stepping up. He did that a lot late in the first half. Several key interceptions and runs with the ball to keep us pushing. He was key in our best passage of play.MB wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 9:10 pm Harsh. It is a great pass and excellent run.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
I think I'd like to see him at RWB. I didn't see what it seems everyone else did today really. I never felt comfortable when the attack went near him and probably felt better when Johnno was in at RCB. Which is probably saying something.
But yeah, Coufal is a proper trier and it's admirable but I'd be interested to see Kehrer tried at RWB when Zouma gets back at RCB. Perhaps his athleticism and calmness on the ball would work there whilst being a less critical position for defensive moments than a central one.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
He was part of a very good performance, don’t think he had as much of a hand in the goal as made out tbh. The pass was defence splitting and it came about from 2 poor pieces of play beforehand. Hopefully his injury isn’t anything bad and he’s back in for the next game. I think we’ll see plenty of good from him at RCB.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
I reckon dropping Ogbonna for Zouma will have a better effect. He’s past his best. Kehrer is adapting and there were lots of positive signs today.Aztec Hammer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 9:43 pm I think I'd like to see him at RWB.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
We've let in the same amount of goals as Manchester United, who sit in 3rd.
Kehrer has played in most of our league games.
He must be doing something right.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
That might be so but in real time, if he’d stepped up it would have been some sort absolute elite defending. He was pretty much in a straight line most the time, until a split second where Oggy got turned. Wilson finished well and there is very little blame for Kehrer.
Criticise players when they deserve to be, which Kehrer has so far this season but anyone criticising him too much for today’s goal is letting their bias sway them.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
He had a very good game yesterday
Johnson was just as good when he came on
Nice to see these fellas taking the chances when they come along

Both Kehrer and Johnson gave Moyes a nice headache last night, while Zouma is out.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
best football from johnson for some time. kehrer has a huge mistake in him every game although cant blame him entirely for their goal.
definetly better at RCB than as fullback but not sure he is good enough to start for us. johnson starts against chelsea

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
Hopefully injury doesn't keep him out, looked good or there yesterday, not sure he alone could be blamed for their goal. Good passer of the ball, hope he is know becoming more settled and we will see more from him.

Re: ✍ Thilo Kehrer
That’s all well and good but it also requires the ability to recover defensively because you will at times get done in behind (see the goal yesterday). I don’t believe Kehrer has that. Aguerd (spectacularly) yes, Kehrer not convinced. I agree the goal wasn’t his fault (foul on Mick, Paqueta weak, good pass) but he got nowhere near Wilson after that.DusseldorfHammer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 9:20 pm Thilo is at his best when he is allowed to defend "on the front foot".

Progressive defending (whatever that is) is all well and good but can you defend - I mean really defend in the hurly burly of the Premier League. I was much more comfortable with Johnson there in terms of recovery defending.
