The College Dropout

Thought it was a dive for the penalty tbh.

A lot of disrespect for our #3 top PL goalscorer.

Poor concentration and reading of the game. There’s a reason why he’s spent most of his career not at this level.

Yeh. But he was playing for Fulham not Newcastle.

How well coaches do people think we’ve looked this season?

I think a lot of foreign players don’t care about these PL clubs. Like Paqueta didn’t grow up wanting to play for West Ham. Who the tuck are West Ham?

Sometimes he still looks short of quality. Like he has a lot of attributes. Fast. 2 footed. Aggressive. But lacking that special something. Saying that he has looked goood this season undoubtedly. And has contributed a lot. His position is jailed and I’m most confident about him of all our wide players.

I don’t think Barnes is totally a Howe style player. I don’t think his work off the ball is particularly impressive defensively.

Agree with that. I was kinda hoping we would go 4231 Isak on for Anderson. Hall on for Burn.

Tactically I didn’t like how wide our wingers were. They did some decent work there at times. But Barnes always struck me as the type of player you try and get to his main spots so he can have 3-4 shots a game. Did he have a shot all game?

Only half watched the game. Saw at least one attack break down as soon as Burn got on the ball. And saw him make a good covering tackle at the end.

We were pap but Brentford were papper.

Sancho isn't an Eddie style player.

Interesting quotes. I expect Howe to make few changes.

Fairs mate. Just holding my hands up that i don't know much about them tbh

Fair. I've only seen 1 video about them and it painted them in a totally negative light. If that's not the case then fair enough.

777? The guys with no money of their own? With no track record of successfully operating football clubs? The guys who said every Sevilla player is up for sale? That 777? Feel sorry for Everton. Moshiri had good intentions. These lot are scam artists.

Main reason.. apart from Liverpool.. we've not lost a match we (arguably) shouldn't lose. And the Liverpool collapse came with Tonali & isak off the pitch. Losing 3-0 to Brighton (a) & Man City - in isolation - isn't a sign to switch things up.

He doens't make 2 unforced changes IMO. Only 1.

Lascelles is not quick himself.

I think they've underperformed their Xg so far this season. I guess that's the difference between Toney and Mbuemo/Wissa. But they should've won the last 2 games. Think they'll finish 9th-13th.

?? They are unbeaten. Scoring (and conceding) goals. They look like a good team. I expect them to be solid in midtable even without their talisman for half the season. Beatable mind. Definitely beatable.

It's not excusable from fans but I blame Southgate. He's put the lad in the firing line.

The lad is in the mud.

Zidane is depressingly negative too but gets away with it because he's Zinedine Zidane (and wins). Both Deschamps and Zidane played a lot of their careers under Italian managers, and it shows.
