Hall needs some help with Savinho.

That is really bad at the back post from Barnes.

Where are Barnes and Hall there?!

Getting pinned back just need to hang in there. Some good defending.

Get that Savinho away from Pep football and he'd be electric.

Elanga so much more assertive man. Keep it up.

Barnes making more runs in behind this game. Please keep doing that.

Tonali ... why has he taken that with his left like that?!

Well deserved. Been all over them.

Nice ball Tonali!

Yes, Barnes! We've been waiting for that!

That's the perfect ball for Osula. More of those and he'll punish them. Unlucky not to get the touch right just then.

How is that not a free kick man ...

The man is an embarrassment

Slot is crying again Hope they keep him next season

What a pass from Wharton again. No idea why Vicario doesn't come out for it

Lovely ball. Lovely finish. Nice Wharton and Strand Larsen connection.

Qualifying for the Conference League would be great for Osula. Would start him in all of those games early on. In fact if we qualify for it I'd keep Neave, Park, Salia, Shahar, Sanusi and Cordero around and give them good opportunities in the early rounds of that competition, mixing them in with some of the more established squad players.

Considering he has Hall supporting him and overlapping down that left side, I find it very surprising he isn't able to find more space to be more of a threat. The last few games, outside of Qarabag, hardly anything has come down that left side. A big fuss was made about him playing on the left, but it hasn't really made a difference so far. He doesn't really make the sort of gaffes that stick out like Elanga's and so avoids the same level of criticism, but in truth he isn't as involved in the games or as much of a danger at the minute. Could really do with his goal threat too, with Gordoon upfront, who isn't a natural goal scorer. Hope he figures it out in the upcoming games down the stretch.

Not necessarily. He'll get a an opportunity to stake his claim starting games the rest of the way now I imagine. However, I think they'll also sign another keeper good enough to challenge him once the summer window comes around.

Would love it if that result throws the cat among the pigeons and they turn against Carrick and it all goes pear shaped the rest of the way. Think he's done well to get the results he has with that midfield which is just so incredibly pedestrian. Find it quite amusing that he's now being criticized for performances, considering the garbage Amorim was serving up. Think the central midfield options are too inadequate to really get that team playing, and they just needed to be setup well enough to get results like he's been doing, and he's now getting stick for it. Good. Let it continue. Hope it throws everything off for them.

Think the deal for him will get done along with another younger goalkeeper prospect to challenge him. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-make-20m-aaron-33533217

That's a great angle. Love the way he takes off so aggressively after playing the ball to Trippier, and Trippier sees it and gets that ball forward well ahead of him which was great. Osula actually did well to keep that ball in too, hence the stumble. Such a great sequence.

He put many of his crosses on Chris Wood's head at Forest, whilst taking their set pieces also. He'll get enough of those right. When he has this season the players through the middle have mostly failed to make the most of them. Just needs to keep improving his general play which was good yesterday, and keep stretching the opposition with his runs in behind and exploiting that space as that is such a useful outlet and gets the opposition turned around.
