After yesterday I've come to the conclusion that so far, he's simply not suited to the system Rafa wants to play. Ayoze's best performances for us have come either on the left wing as a LWF, or an out and out striker. Even as a second striker behind Mitro he played really well. But this whole backs-to-the-goal, deeper role where he has to be creator and fend off battling defenders and DMs on his back has really curbed his natural style of play. He always looks best when he's going at the goal, approaching the box, as he has that bit of skill to cut in or create an extra yard of space to either beat a man or get a shot in, or an assist. But all of this seems to be negated when he has to face the other way and look out for defenders trying to nick it off him / foul him.

Would be pretty bad at notes & crossses as, you know, he'll leave blanks all over the grid.

Rafa just said he’s got an issue with his lower back.

Can't wait when it's confirmed Stevie G led the troops at Normandy.

Anything to make the legend of Stevie G even more ... legendary.

Man, just another day I'm smiling ear to ear about having this man at our club. Read his views on competition for places at the back: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/rafa-benitez-explains-his-thinking-on-ciaran-clark-and-his-defensive-dilemma-at-newcastle-1-8828357 We've not had someone like this at the club in fucking eons.

“I can read the comments and some people say this or that,” said Benitez. He's onto us, lads. Rafa, we love you unconditionally. Also, marry me.

What a great article. Love this kid even more now.

Thank you. Fuck, if this is how 100m is gonna be spent, we're okay where we are Edit: Meaning I don't believe a single word of this story. No way Rafa will splash it on those 3.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/655580/Newcastle-takeover-Exclusive-Amanda-Staveley-Rafa-Benitez-transfer-budget-Luke-Shaw So 100m and they're still talking about Andy fucking Carroll coming back?

Now the whole nightclub incident makes total sense. Sell this cunt.

This is like that time you hear your gf on the phone talking to her friend and mentions in passing she’s thought about her ex (Liverpool) and having a 3some with Brad Pitt and Mandingo (Spain job). Either you get all upset about it or continue the 3some fantasy yourself in private, choice is yours really.

I also want him to become my second wife. With middle-eastern ownership, maybe his views will relax on that.

Kebab is done.

With those eyes she can probably do it without being online. Smooth.

Fact that she's not legged it back to her Middle East super-yacht means she doesn't, thankfully.

Eh? I thought he did well defensively mainly due to his pace, but his passing was woeful all game. I meant when he first joined, not this past game. He's been fairly solid defensively as well last few games.

Tut tut, Harvey Weinstein.

I love how ruthless he is, as well. Didn't start with Lascelles first game. Then just dropped Clark. And Mbemba is forever in the shadows. Man's a fucking giant of this game.

As someone who's been on Mitro's case (100% rightly ) I'd start Mitro until we sign a new striker.

I suppose, in the same way you could play Jamaal Lascelles in the withdrawn striker role. Jamaal would stand his ground and not get pushed about. Joselu would be even weaker than Ayoze in that hole.

Wagner and Silva are the two standout managers at smaller clubs at the moment. If we didn't have Rafa those are the ones I'd want us to be looking at. I understand (somewhat) the love-in for Wagner but oh boy is the dude a cunt. The way he went about last season has left a bitter taste in the mouth. What a pansy prick. What was it he did last season that was so bad? Acted like a right prick about us, and after our games together. Also I was ticked off the way the media jacked him off and were disappointed they didn't finish top 2. Plus I just don't like his face.
