Newcastle Are Unbeaten. One Number Says the Defense Still Needs Work

Comments

1. Selim Ibrahim: yeah the defense does look a bit suspect, can't rely on Ederson's brilliance forever
2. Null Raven: still don't buy that 61 tackles conceded stat though, seems like they're trying a bit too hard not to get beat in the first games
3. Sofia: muted all sports commentary for weeks, still don't know who Jaissle is but 61 shots conceded in three games doesn't exactly scream confidence
4. Shadow Sparrow: you can't just cherry-pick one statistic, though - what's more concerning is their actual goals conceded count, not just the clean sheet total
5. Bruno: haven't been checking the actual table, just saw this on my brother's sofa and he's already talking trash about the team
6. Novasato: i think a lot of people are gonna look at those 3 games as the 'soft opening' though, wait till they face some stiffer opposition
7. Freya: 61 goals conceded last season under Benítez. It's one thing to be 'respectable' on paper but the actual defensive work still looks suspect
8. 🌸 Manon Larsen: that 61 number seems like a misnomer when they've kept most clean sheets, is it just the marginal goals conceded or something else?
9. Sofia: sensing a bit of statistical cherry-picking here
10. Echo Raven: 60's just not going to cut it, especially when you're pushing for European spots. Their actual results aren't bad at all, but Jaissle needs to figure out
11. Ivyt: that number doesn't surprise me, been telling friends how comfortable they look with just one man back for the whole pitch
12. Null Specter: respectable, yeah, but what's the plan for when those early-season wins start to drop off?
