Do you think he will support Targett more defensivly than Burn? Because he needs to start help out soon…

Doesnt look like he is interessted in defending, and bang average going forward.. Dont know why we spent the odd 40 million on him. That said, I hope I will be eating my words..

I dont like that we dont have a plan b. Trippiers free kicks have been bad for months now, and he keeps taking them. In the first half of the season we had variation on them, now it looks like we’re just flosting them in. we need to get that creative spark back, atm I cant see that happening..

Im not defending him or anything, but you dont know what you listened to... We dont know if they had some kind of kinky fetish like playrape. I remember beeing younger I watched a movie about a guy who went to jail because a woman tricked him by saying he raped here by recording a playrape(dont remember the name of the movie). Again im not defending him, but when there is money and fame in the picture you never know is all I´m saying. Either way this is a fucked up case.

WTF has happened to his shooting? He used to have quite a foot on him, remember a few good goals from long range. He has been excellent getting in position lately, so I just hope he gets his finishing sorted out.

Willock is looking knackered..

looks like Amanda Staveley is squeezing the tit of the woman in white top

I can understand why Howe went for Burn today. I do think he looked a littlebit shaky, and not his normal self leading the back line. Solanke and Tavernier where just to good for him. Also his positioning on their goal was awfull and cost us a goal.

Its Lee Mason in the VAR box...

Yes, I know he probably gets a few outings in Europa League, but he will know that if they reach the finals De Gea will play. Its still just the Europa League and not Champions League, If he went to one of the Champions League teams I would more understand it. I hope we do what they did with Lindgard, just drag it out to the final hour and say sorry we cant find a replacement for him so his not for sale.

I understand that Dubravka wants to move to get 1st team football. The most dissapointing thing is that he will be happy to sit on the bench in Manchester than at our club.

And you guys say Miggy have no end product

I agree Murphy is utter dog turd. What I do think Howe sees in him is that he is probably the only winger we have that can get down to the line and try to get the ball in. We desperatly need new wingers..

Newcastle 5-0 Man Utd - That chip from Philippe Albert

He is clearly out of form, can be very frustrating to watch because his game relay on dribbling and atm he is loosing the ball very often. My biggest frustration with him atm is his lack of workrate defensivly, stop running when he looses the ball, takes his arms up and complanes about the ref or teammates when he clearly just lost the ball fair.. I do have high hopes for ASM, but he is a very rough diamond who our coaching team has to work hard with to get him to do the extra yards of defensive work, and for him to understand when to pass, when to dribble and when to hold the ball. I also hope that we get him to be a more direct player, often when he is on the counter against 2 defenders he goes down towards the cornerflag instead of taking them on and go for goal. A young C. Ronaldo, Zlatan and many more top players used to do the same thing.

I agree, offcourse he knew where Burn was. He wouldnt have had his arms that high if he thought he was jumping alone.. The elbow was deliberate, and I think everyone who has played u15 or older knows this. I remember in amateur football the more you watched the ball the more likely you would get away with a cheeky elbow. I cant believe that the VAR referee is that incompetent and that they dont see this as a red or give the penalty decision. Imo the VAR Ref should be suspended and investigated, the only thing I can think he is hiding behind is the "Clear and Obvious error" rule. I agree with Klopp that this rule should be removed.

Why havent we been linked with Donnarumma yet? He must be hating life in Paris.

he is faster with the ball than without it...

I can actually imagine Longstaff with that YMCA mustage and police costume walking next to him

This is why VAR need to make the call instead of the ref. In decades now referees have often not given freekicks and penalties unless the players over-play it, and often you can see they are avaiting a reaction from the player before they blow.. If players stay on their feet or dont react much they normally dont get anything, so I can understand ASM over-plays it because he/we dont get penalties that often and IF he doesnt over-play it we can certainly say we wouldnt get the penalty... Imho VAR need to correct the error, because in my book making the wrong decision about a penalty is seriously wrong so they should consider overturning it.

Some of our coaches need sacking, this bunch are so unfit..

dissapointed to see only 1 signing after 11 days.. Had hoped they had signings ready before january the first

Think he needs to sit on the bench a game or two. Maybe he then will see where his teammates are.

Even my girlfriend who isnt interessted in football was quick to see a problem with players not beeing allowed to play rearrenged games. What about players sold? Should they be loaned back for one game? should the teams that have sold their players have fewer choices just because of this corona shit? Like you said earlier the big problem is the Premier League board who is fucking us all over(by us I mean every team outside the "top 6").. Refere calls, VAR, other rules for the "top 6", no penalties for trying to start their own league, we are not allowed to have sponsors who are connected with the owners etc...
