Imagine that being your homework, what a life

Newcastle's England XI would beat the rest of the world's England XI. Team ethic and intensity would run the rest of them off the park.

Agreed on both, not hiding from earliest reaction to signing Tonali

Tonali coming in has higlighted to us all how good Longstaff is.

Thought that was from the 90s, the default quality that loaded at in the embed, but it's really recent

Jesus

Tbf their whole match thread is talking about they have no plans, they don't close down attackers, they always concede on transition and they don't understand how we can score the goals we do, they don't know how. They all want ETH out to a man, except one or two who basically want to sack the whole squad and start from scratch. My favourite quote was 'we've had more captains on the pitch than shots on target today'.

Redcafe is a mess, I feel sorry for them

Howe has a system, and players are trained to that system. Whomever comes in, knows what to do. What you can do with an intelligent, driven leader and a team of humble, hard working lads cannot be underestimated.

I stand by my assessment of him, he's an elite-level poacher but offers little else. He works great in our team so he's definitely a round peg in a round hole. Really happy with his form, I can never complain about any other aspects of his game as long as he's knocking them in, long may it continue.

Can't underestimate years of conditioning to never expect the cross from his right.

Dortmund are no joke. We'll learn from this. Good experience for everyone involved.

Aye we've been alright. We've just got some awfully high standards right now. And these Dortmund lads know not to put anything long or at pace, whereas it's taken us 3/4 of the game to realise that a wet ball keeps on going when it hits the ground.

Targett has always been quality from set pieces, we miss his left footed delivery

Leon would have buried that chance Wilson had, he wasn't half bad.

That was so well recovered from Trippier

Trailing arm's hand slipped on the grass, this rain is killing us literally now

Trippier not under instructions to hang back vs Adeyemi like he had vs Mbappe, surprising

Mo Salah's regen coming on

Best thing Joelinton's done all night

Hopefully that lifts the crowd

That fucking drum

God damn Joe, read the game I saw that pass coming two moves back

Dortmund playing with a high line suits us well right now, hope we can capitalize.

Can't underestimate the effect of the rain tonight, I've never seen so many overhit passes in one half from us, from multiple players too - Bruno, Trips, Almiron are ones that stand out.
