Newcastle's poor passing almost nullifies numerical advantage

Chelsea were very brave to play with a back three after they went down
to 10 men early in the second half and it nearly paid off. They were
the better team after that, helped by the fact that Newcastle didn't
deal well with the situation.
A lot of managers would have gone 4-3-2 if they were a goal behind,
but Jose Mourinho went 3-4-2 with Glen Johnson, Ricardo Carvalho and
William Gallas at the back.
Mourinho obviously backs those three against anybody one for one. Not
many teams would get away with that, but then not many have centre-backs
of the quality of Gallas and Carvalho.
Chelsea ran into trouble only once defensively and passed the ball much
better than Newcastle. They were domi nating the game in the middle of
the park, picking Newcastle off time and again, because the way
Newcastle started to play actually gave Chelsea an extra man in that
key area.
The problem for Newcastle was that Laurent Robert and Patrick Kluivert
decided they didn't have to defend any more once Chelsea were down to
10 men.
Robert stayed up the park rather than being a normal left-sided
midfielder, so Newcastle only had three men in midfield. Also Kluivert
stopped doing what he'd done in the first half, which was drop back on
to one of Chelsea's midfielders.
Chelsea would have found it harder to pass if Kluivert and Robert had
defended properly, but as it was they had more of the ball. They didn't
have many chances but they had pressure and were very close at times
to threading the ball between Newcastle's full-backs and centre-backs.
I thought Titus Bramble had a very good game, but Newcastle's use of
the ball when they got it back was as bad as I have seen from them this
season. From one of their worst passing performances they have come away
with a victory over the champions-elect.
When Newcastle got the ball, they kept hitting long passes behind the
centre-halves for Kluivert and Shola Ameobi, but those never came to
anything. Chelsea would pick things up and give it to their spare man
in midfield and start again.
Graeme Souness will be scratching his head about how his team won with
that level of passing performance. I saw them beaten 4-0 at Chelsea and
even in that large defeat they passed better at Stamford Bridge. But
Souness will enjoy yesterday'sresult.
