Maguire was very good tonight. Hugely surprising. Without him we scored at least three. Fair play to him for seemingly turning it around and caring recently. Shame his team mates are petulant and lazy.

What did I miss?

Looks super dodgy at high balls from corners too

So glad we didn't buy Gallagher

Viana had a good beard

I was wrong. If Dortmund beat AC away and PSG beat Dortmund away then we're in the uefa with 8 points. But this feels unlikely.

Actually, this is really helpful. I think (and correct me if I'm wrong), it shows that if we draw with psg and beat AC then we are through regardless of the ways the other results go. Based on head to heads I can't see a scenario where that doesn't happen.

What happened with this?

78% pass accuracy is actually pretty rubbish for a midfielder playing it relatively simple. Don't lead with that stats guy!

Is the nufc.co.uk radio stream working for anyone? Mine is just playing static

One of Trippier's many important contributions for us is his attacking assist and crossing. Putting him on the left significantly nerfs that. I think Tino has played on the left before, and crossing is less important to his game. If anything, he should be starting there.

Who doesn't love a team with six full backs!

Six full backs on the bench. Knackered Dan Burn plays the full match.

Mental take. It's annoying to have him out for a year but he's looked decent and he's young. A year training with Eddie and he's going to be immense.

We win. The entire UEFA club structure, led by the Premier league big 6, complains about NUFC fielding an ineligible player. We are kicked out of the champions league and banned from European competition for the next five years.

He looked slow even before he gave up

No way ?

Such a ridiculous take ? I took a lifelong Newcastle supporter who lived in the south to the home match against Aston Villa in 2005. That was definitely the worst possible first trip to St James'

?

Agreed, but difficult to tell if that is the position or the far superior interchange with Trippier and Almiron compared to Burn and Anderson

I think that's the thinking behind Tonali though isn't it? I know he's not anywhere near there yet, but look at the progression of most of our signings six months after purchase when they're settled in to country and system.

Less impressive than ours on Wednesday tbh

It's mad that this is a real photo. It looks like unrealistic stadium architect cgi.

And look how that is turning out. Mad.
