Anderson on for ASM please

As someone's pointed out before, I think I might also agree he may be struggling with the similar colours of the jersies Edit : Trying to be kind ,he's having an absolute mare

We look much better when we're further up the pitch

I honestly must have missed them, I'll reserve judgement then!

Burn is woeful offensively on the left, Dummett-esque Won't get involved or push up and give options

The worst 30 mins I've ever seen from him. Yellow too, might be worth getting him off at half time before he boils over.

Schar is so fearless, love him

Maxi copying them NBA players with the single-side arm-sleeve. Dunno how much he needs his jump shot improving though

Burn just completed his first headed pass for Newcastle I think

Nothing offensively so far though, Targett gets really involved.

Oh Almiron with the best touch of his life

Without the over-exposure, I think at eye-level at least the players can see the difference

Joelinton lets him do that, lets not forget the freedom he's given by the greatest destroyer in the league. But Bruno is probably our best ever central midfielder in the PL era. Now sits alongside Hamann in the middle for me in my own personal Newcastle PL XI.

Have you watched him?

We could do worse than trying Anderson on the left (as he played for Rovers) and ASM on the right, or vice-versa for 30 mins or so just to see if can hold his own at this level.

I put £50 on us to win the league

It's ok, they've got Maguire and Keane.

Despite his lack of end-product, Joelinton's ball-carrying is first-rate and I don't think we'd want to limit him to being a deeper player that just lays it off.

There's an American actor that used to be in a few things when he was younger, in his 20s, then dropped off the radar, that had eyelids like Cooper and a high hairline, was quite prominent/famous but can't for the life of me think of his name nor any films he was in Thinking 10-15 years ago.

Validation from opposing fans is strangely very satisfying Can you imagine a year ago a post like this from our opponents, they want a Joelinton-type player?!

This might be a bit OTT, but the feeling on that thread is that their club is going to be in damage limitation for the first half of the season until they can gel. Makes what Howe's doing, under arguably a lot more pressure, and the decisions he's making with regards to introducing players slowly all the more admirable. But then a lot of their fans are still thinking more signings will help alleviate their issues.. anyway! And they reckon Colback was their best player too today which echoes a lot of us on here too.

Don't think their manager was too interested, looked like he was falling asleep at times.

Wilson off the mark for the season, Joelinton with an assist, Schar with a thunderbolt to keep him in the side. Brilliant.

Big Joe with an assist too, have such a man crush on the lad.
