Norwegian studio mentioned it had something to do with Gordon having two touches of the ball after it bounced up in his hand. Had it gone from his hand straight to Longstaff it would have been disallowed. Have no clue how the hands rules works. Just seems to get more and more complicated

It's absolutely bizarre how they are set up. 5 Defenders in a straight line on the edge of their box while their midfield are pressing our defenders in our half.

Can we play Sheffield United after every champions league game?

Pints and fireworks on the pitch from the Sheffield United fans soon.

That's a pen. 100%.

Why is Trippier giving their winger so much space yet again

Can't help but think Trippier is going to hit a wall soon or get injured with he amount of full games he's playing.

Perfect opportunity as one of the easier games (on paper at least) we'll be having for some time to give Livramento & Hall their first start, while giving both Trippier & Burn a rest until the Man City game. However my Howe-senses tells me the line-up will be exactly the same as against AC Milan. Only changes, if Edide does make any, will be to start Almiron & Wilson for Isak & Murphy.

Going to be sick with anxiety before kick-off if Luton are on 0 points before we meet them right before Christmas

Had no idea Man City got Nunes and Doku. wtf

Kieran Tierny was, unsurprisingly, subbed due to a suspected injury.

Agree. I'm not going to fact check myself here, but feel very confident in saying we've had the most difficult set of games so far this season compared to any other team in the world.

One of our biggest issues so far this season has been winning the second ball. Milan, Brentford, Brighton, Liverpool & Man City all beat us to the second ball in both ends of the pitch for the vast majority of the games. I don't have the eyes to say whether it's a tactical/positional or quality issue, but it has invited so much pressure on us this season that we didn't see most of last season. No matter what is and isn't working, fully agree with this.

To put some perspective on it, every team in our group will be seeing their home game against us as their best chance to get 3 points. Clean sheet away to last seasons CL semi finalists is massive no matter how it came about. My biggest concerns from this is that our players seems a bit lost in attack, and it looks like it's starting to affect them. On three occasions I noticed our attacking players arguing with each other out of frustration when an attack broke down. Can't decide my motm between Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman & Bruno. Oh, and I'd love to see our new fullbacks in action soon.

Milan allowed to shamelessly shirt pull all game without getting punished.

Eh? It's made out of titanium and magnets.

Don't mind people criticizing Burn. It's the "Burn is an absolute joke of a player", "utter tosh only playing because he's geordie" etc that just doesn't work for me. It's not criticism.

How fucking cool is it to see AC Milan - Newcastle in the Champions League We're not playing great, but against tough opposition. Can't stop smiling.

Harsh considering the goal we conceded to Ferguson only two weeks ago Still an irrelevant league though. Forgot the name of the teams about 0.5 seconds after scrolling down from the highlight.

The shame it would be if we didn't get to see this world class striker transformed into a winger or attacking midfielder.
