Mainly rely on the two wings of the fast attack, as well as the center of the Ødegaard state burst of passes and shooting destructive power, Newcastle this defense not only stuck in the middle of the road blocked the side of the road, Joelinton and Almirón in front of the front of the surprisingly almost back with the wingbacks, coupled with the two sides of the midfielder, so that the

As soon as Saka and Martinelli get the ball, they have to face three Newcastle players in good position to defend, not only surrounding the area but also forming a deep, so no matter how fast Saka and Martinelli are, they can't accelerate.
Then Newcastle's three central midfielders have a pretty good understanding of each other, and their timing in moving from side to side is spot on so that the

Even trying to move left and right was difficult, due to Joelinton and Almirón being pretty quick on the counter, plus leaving striker Wilson up front who does have counter-attacking speed.

Zinchenko only went to the center of the field to assist in the passing game, and left Thomas Partey at the back to push Xhaka forward and Ødegaard into two attacking midfielders, but Xhaka didn't have enough leash to get up to the ball, so Ødegaard often had to face two Nueceso defenders. It's hard for him to get the space to make good passes.

Striker Nketiah had a much worse game this time around, as his performance in the last round vs.

There was a lot of diagonal running to pull the defense, but this game he was stuck in the Newcastle defense, making few diagonal runs to either side and less often dropping back into the midfield to help out, looking very much like an invisible drop

As a result, the two teams remained deadlocked, with Newcastle presenting a very conservative defensive style of play and moderately getting five men up to press high, and they were good with the fouls, keeping them down.

Even if they tried to pass the ball back to reorganize, if the purpose was too obvious, they would attract Newcastle to press forward, and many times the organization was forced to disintegrate and restart because of this.
Arsenal (name)
In a long time when the attack can not be relied on Saka often strong attack, but Newcastle is a long time to maintain a three-man defense against Saka, even the winger Joelinton ran back to hook Saka, Saka, although not seriously injured, but constantly fouled, and later really began to have an injury situation!
Not only did Newcastle play good defense, they moved around each other with perfect understanding, and with the constant small fouls, they deliberately stalled the clock going into the second half to keep the game interrupted.

The inability to play an all-out attack, which later affected Ødegaard, Xhaka and others, resulted in the lack of a strong offense in the middle of the field, and Newcastle didn't bring in the powerful Saint-Maximin until the very end, but only came up to clamp down.
