HawK

Barnes for Almiron, switch Gordon over Longstaff for big Joe We go again

They had to mute the pitch-side mic feed

They're letting Burn have all the space in the world because they know he won't do anything with it

Need a sprinkling of Howe's magic dust at half time, we can't play this way again in the second 45.

I don't think people expected us to turn up and blow them off the park, it's been a good reality check though for the team like I said a few pages ago, it's good to have this experience in their locker for the rest of the season.

Botman with a Maldini-esque flick

Gosh, I know I can never fault his effort, but Almiron is such a low IQ player. Has no concept of what's around him when he gets the ball.

Reality check, this experience will be invaluable for us for this season. Best time to play these imo.

1/3 of the game gone, still not losing Fk

Almiron looks lost

We suffer when we're deep, we need some retention to bring our line higher.

Pope been watching Emi

We're still in it, we're not losing 20 minutes in against City at home. The best teams in the world have done worse.

Cause Burn is tucking in

Every time Pope comes out I get Liverpool flashbacks

1/6 done, still not losing.

Nevermind

We have the ball!

Which one :/

Think we're gonna be fine, we're pressing well and sooner or later we'll make the turnover count

Think he's OK. Smartly milking it to try take the fans out of the game early

8 year contract, madness. Even at that time everyone thought it was lunacy.

Real life now feels like one of my sketchy Newcastle FM saves where I only buy English players and after a few years it's basically Newcastle United in the World Cup
