That's what I mean of course. Typo.

This. All I will ever remember this absolute fraud for is he made me so disillusioned with where our club was going, it was the first time I actively wanted us to lose games. Even Bruce didn't manage that.

Don't know if it's the same in France, but some of the pitches are huge in Spain, that makes it less easy to get on top of players with the high press.

Yeah, he looks like that fairly slender frame hides a titanium exoskeleton inside. I'm thinking of T2 the cop in Terminator 2.

My god, this lad fancies himself a bit.

No surprise, everyone wants their slice of the pie from monyebags Newcastle. He'll be worth it tbf, sounds like everything we've been missing for the last 20 years.

People need to temper their expectations somewhat. Looking at Everton's side, and they have a lot of attacking talent. Dele, Gray, Richarlison, Townsend, and now you can add Van Beek to that as well. Not sure our front three of ASM, Wood and Fraser compares that well tbh. Hopefully Bruno and Trippier can even it out a bit although they are positioned a bit further back.

He's a lot better than Bruce like, but something about his personality really grates me the wrong way. I think it probably grates on his players as well, that's why he never quite achieves what he promises.

There was, and apparently it was a lot more money than he's getting at Milan, but he chose to go there for his career prospects. Only on loan mind, so nothing to say he wouldn't come in the summer if we stay up.

Not got a good feeling about this one, I was counting on Dan Burn playing, Lascelles and Shcar would be ok if it was just one of them, but both together, and you can see one of them making a mistake. Really need something from the front three tomorrow, Everton have defended badly all season.

He will I reckon. Howe chucked both Trippier and Wood straight into the starting line ups after their signings.

Just feel that Gayle is the closest we've to to Wilson as a striker who will run onto the through balls into the spaces. Wood should be able to as well in theory, but he's looked pretty sluggish in the two games so far.

Yeah it's really weird. I agree the scouse mackems is probably a bit unfair, but they seem to be doing their best to live up to it.

Would still fancy Gayle to score over Miggy any day of the week, at least he has the instincts of a striker. He's not good enough for sure, but right now we may end up needing him.

What's the reason for hating us? I mean I don't like them, the scouse mackems says it all really. Can't see what they've got against us though, unless it's just jealousy.

Nah. All our defenders pre-Howe lack pace and passing ability, but they'll do a job if called on.

Considering we don't have a DOF or any type of rated scouts. must admit I've been pretty impressed with the type of players we've been trying to recruit, even if not that successful in this window.

I don't know who has said our squad is the worst in the league, I haven't seen it, on here at least. But collectively it has aged badly, and Bruce was the problem since he perpetuated it. If it was up to him, he'd still be here and handing out contracts to the next generation of good lads who are settled in the area, and would be happy to carry on even if we got relegated.

Sounds familiar.

If the rumours that Wilson has had an injury setback which puts his comeback at mid-March now, that's a serious blow. We really need him for the more winnable fixtures, and some of the more crucial ones are in the next month or so.

Sky thickos Morrison and Merse absolutely licking his hoop on Sports Saturday. Now he's not our manager it seems almost funny.

He just needs to hold the ball up better and allow runners time to get around him. After that the goals will be a bonus. Hopefully with the new signings, especially Bruno, and a few weeks training under his belt, we'll see more understanding with his teammates.

I do agree with this. He wasn't good enough, but he did give 100% for the shirt when he was wearing it. Not impressed by him refusing to go out on loan though, that's taken away some of the goodwill he's earned.

I can't say I've ever really noticed him other than he takes a spectacular free kick. I'm guessing he must be quite decent at the basics without actually being that great at anything other than set pieces.

He's never going to stop milking that 12th and 13th finish, one season relied on defenders scoring goals in the last minute, the other a purple patch of goals from a loanee. He could easily have relegated us in either one the jammy fat bastard.
