Why is Nick Pope’s second half average position stationed underneath Lascelles?

This lad was Mbabu v Chelsea levels of good tonight!

Can hear *Ando telling *Schar to shoot just before Wilson’s goal on this. Sounds like he was sat close to the Sheffield U commentary team. Must have been hell for them lot listening to Ando’s sick cackle!

Anderson LW, Tonali LCM

But but but, St Maxi’s xG and xA shows he’s a nob, so Gordon-Barnes must be better for us (I totally agree with you btw - stats don’t show Maxi’s value. Perhaps opposition average position maps when they play is with Maxi would - defenders almost definitely deeper and midfield pulled apart as someone’s got to double up)

And a dark goatee

The distances and shape between our midfield 3 and defence is just way off. Our only patterns of play for building out from the back are round the sides to the full backs then down the line old school channel ball, or into Bruno as a lonely DM with no-one else near him. We've got to be way better playing out. Sandro and Joelinton have to offer for the ball more and support Bruno to build out. I feel Howe's got to find a new balance to the team personnel or setup in midfield as this one isn't doing it at all.

Can’t wait for Eddie’s press conference later. Bet he’s buzzing about getting stuck into these lot!

No idea who 98% of the players are. What heady times we’re in though!! Fantasy Champs Leeg well I never knew that existed!!

Just when I felt like I couldn’t feel any more sick this week!!! https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2023/08/29/alan-pardew-tells-eddie-howe-exactly-where-he-went-wrong-after-newcastle-1-2-liverpool/

I want that pass analysed like Hawkeye does with cricket deliveries. Give me the rate of spin on the ball, the degrees of curve on the air, then the deviation off the seam on bouncing on the floor. Show me the trajectory of that pass with no spin travelling straight on, how it’s likely have ended up as a tame back pass to their goalkeeper. Some nerd somewhere must be needing suitable subject matter for their Masters or PhD project!!

The NUFC interviewer must get paid for the amount of times he can get a footballer to say "like i just said." Every interview he does he ignores the answer just given, and then asks a question that will elicit the very same answer. Interviewer question 1: [can't be bothered to type it] Lewis Hall: "the transition phase Newcastle's going through is a big reason for me wanting to join." Interviewer: "what are the main reasons for making this move now?" Lewis Hall: "a few reasons, like i said, the transition phase we're going through right now. Like I said before..." It's just disgusting to listen to.

To be fair, in the years when he was growing up, we didn't actually play football, we merely participated in it

Ramsdale.

Stop being so worried about what everyone else thinks of newcastle fans and just get on with being a fan. I’m 31 years deep as a Newcastle fan, having grown up in cardiff and adopted the club as a youngster. I’m in Bristol now having lived in London. But I love absolutely love my trips to Newcastle, to matches, and would kill to be from the area with local stories to tell. When I come up from down south I’ll happily embrace the Black Garter and any other recommendations locals have for me, and all my mates from back in Bristol and London will hear I’ve had a class time with the passionate Geordie fans. We do us, and the rest of the nation can get to funk! HTL!

I fancy us to win this. Then the media won’t give us the credit we deserve cause of City’s injuries and playing in midweek. But I’m expecting a 3-2 win. We hold on for last 25 minutes, always a threat on the counter with Barnes missing a great chance to put us 4-2 up.

Thank you for posting this. That was our best knee slide of the season at the end there!

Match Cam reveals Gordon still hasnt earned Schar’s protection. But Barnes is straight in their under his wing!

Only downside to Wor Sandy is he’s gonna rob assist points off Tripps in FPL.

It was 71kg, not too heavy. Definitely Lord Eddie that made me ?

I’m in the middle of a barbell squats set and I’ve just shat my pants a little having watched that. Damn, need to sneak past the kids and go clean myself

This looks too much like one of those YouTube Nerf blaster wars for me to take it seriously! One of these: Send him out on the pitch with an Elite blaster in future! serious though, he lacks pace at times. Worrying

Joe Kinnear wanted to improve the standards of the local press

I really want Howe to have weapons. Why not give the master tactician both the best dribbler in the league and the best ‘give n go’ finisher. That’s really what’s sad and FFP is bunk!

If we go deep in the Champs Leeg or Europa there’ll be games where we can’t high press up the pitch or sustain possession and will need Maxi. If Real were forced to play that way verse a few teams, we will be also
