Hamstring injury

Will actually make me want to watch / root for England, at least you’d be confident they’d be watchable

Usually a safe bet

Natalie Portman sounded out for affair by theregulars

I thought we had a lot of really pleasing passages of quick passing but both final ball and final third play generally were quite poor. I don’t think teams have to defend particularly well to shut us out, it isn’t unreasonable to say we’re not creating loads of chances. It’s currently also reasonable to say we don’t have a good enough striker available and look like it. We currently have an odd problem where none of our players look in form for more than part of a match (except pope, who Fulham mistake and some kicking aside has been his usual reliable self). The general play has trended upwards recently and we look very good defensively, which was the key platform for 4th in 22/23 and that’s without Botman available and with schär missing 3 games. We don’t look at all confident or fluent as an attacking unit. I wish we’d have signed a good number 6 midfielder to let Bruno be a more creative player as I think he could help unlock doors. Gordon being the only winger who can beat a man - and rarely playing his main position this season while also looking a pale imitation of last year - doesn’t help at all. We’re not getting in behind defences who seem to have sussed that we struggle against a low block.

Gordon cost us that win unfortunately. Got swallowed by the occasion.

It’s winnable if we’re at it

Dare to Dejan

Fair dinkum. Studs up, petulant and reckless for me.

But the company’s making so much money

I think he slips but then lifts his leg up further. It’s reckless AF. If that was a yellow against us I’d be at warp fewm

I thought exact same. It’s quite funny but it’s unprofessional.

Someone sound the Roy Keane klaxon

No sir

If it was 0-3 (as it should be) I reckon the sack would be beckoning. None of them seem to know what they’re trying to do. Crowd consuming itself. Fantastic all round. An aggressive striker like a Vardy would have a few here; shame solanke is so tame.

I feel like robson when he clapped them off after a 1-1 draw at home to arsenal. Just really well played and so rousing, well done to all involved

Usual fare against these. Play well but one if their superstars scores a superstar goal and we don’t have a superstar. Boring

They exclusively score amazing goals at SJP. It’s so tiresome.

Come back Mandy man

Online aye, M and L gone.

So keen for the jersey but missed it. Faaaaak

Mine will wear a cap to a baseball game and paint her nails black and white, end of. Trade?

Ah sorry pal! I’m slightly jealous tbh. Mine thinks it’s all a massive waste of time

Every time I convince myself my other half wants Newcastle gear, it’s a horrible no

You keep telling yourself that bro
