In fairness Murphy has been chipping in with the assists.

You’ve said it better than I’ve tried to

Yes, point being they all chipped in last season so they will all need to or we won’t get as many goals as last season. Do I think they’ll contribute more this season than they did last? No not really. Unless they have unbelievable seasons

We might be out the cup by the time he signs anyway

A player for the next 5 seasons not just this season kinda thing?

Gordon & Isak will have to have brilliant seasons. No drop offs and no injuries

I hate it at £70m be a relief when it gets done but he’s never a £70m player and I’ll get the feeling we’ll have been done off the back of a good Euros

Yeah don’t mind them. Norman can be a bit much tho. Not in a bad way but in a my heads spinning after you talking for 5 mins way

I’ll be amazed if he plays tonight. He’ll be on the bench as ‘rested’

I agree.

I was just guessing tbf I know captains have roles outwith just turning up and playing

Will have captain duties too which likely has to do with hospitality etc

Cross from Barnes on the left was it not ? Again, if we are calling a cross from the left put in at the back post a goal from RW then I’m massively lost . The cross is from the left and Gordon is a half a yard the back post. Not a chance that’s a goal from RW

He’ll be on the bench

We’ve kept a clean sheet in 50% of our games this season. Whats your point? also calling the keeper giving the ball to Isak inside the box is coming from the RW position a massive stretch like

It was

For the umpteenth time. Attacks down the right last season were largely down to trippier. He got 10 assists Almiron got 1. The RW is an issue absolute nonsense to suggest it’s not. 2 seasons ago we had I believe the 2nd best defence in the league with the same back 4 of trippier, burn, Botman & Schar and last season it was poor. See how t One season one of the best the following season not so great? So just coz we were so great at scoring goals last season doesn’t mean we will this season and not strengthening an obvious weakness won’t help we need a CH & a RW the club identified both positions. The fact we can’t shift Almiron is the only reason we won’t get a winger

I just don’t get Chelsea. I know I’m not alone in that but what are they doing ? They have Madueke scoring a hat trick, signed Neto & now they want Sancho

It’s definitely the best Newcastle one. It’s big plus point is the people on it are likeable unlike a good section of the true faith one

Aye not a lot. It’s almost as if he doesn’t want to start him on the right.

It’s crazy to me that the solution is play Gordon RW. Gordon would rather not play there and Howe would rather not play him there

Eddie Howe appears reluctant to play Gordon as a RW. If Eddie starts playing Gordon there regularly then fair enough. Until then nah we are stuck with Almiron & Murphy RW. genuinely I don’t know, how many times as Howe started Gordon on the RW?

So if we are to assume Guehi in and that’s all. Will we sell anyone? Surely Fraser goes?

Again when it’s warranted. You are really struggling with that aren’t you ?

Not had much to shout about so far tbf. Not one of the 5 signings is Particuarly exciting and not one key outgoing either
