Ronaldo

Very happy for him today. Up against a poor side but we were smart and patient.

We all know we’re a much better side with Gordon on the left. It’s a tough one because Barnes is so good at what he’s good at but he’s poor at everything else.

Gillespie wasn’t a fringe player mind.

It’s crazy, mind. Even if they are 21st in the Championship.

If anything happened I’d love him back.

Potentially 8 games with Dubs in net. God Almighty.

You can’t honestly believe we don’t have the funds to upgrade on Martin Dubravka.

For £20m, yes. Probably.

I’ll have you know I’ve been to 2 games this season, that’s an increase of 1 on this time last season.

Can we just get rid of this absolute waste of flesh please? I don’t know how he dares pick up his wage and then strut around like he’s achieved something. He’s extremely lucky to be anywhere near NUFC. And the next person to mention Isak playing off him like it’s a remotely valuable / viable option is getting it.

I don’t think many said that. It was more targeted at the style of play as happened at Bournemouth.

Weirdly his best football by far was all in that first 9 months.

Beat me to it, tad strong.

I think I’d rather finish 17th with Eddie.

Why?

But nothing at what wingers are supposed to do - chip in with goals aside.

Agreed we can’t keep sliding down the table.

He’s an outstanding footballer and you’ve only got to use your eyes to see that. Since coming back from injury this season his figures have been outstanding and his figures overall are outstanding. I really don’t know why this discussion is being had.

Good post.

Pretty much agree with that except Wilson top 6. He doesn’t get a game for any legit top 6 team.

That’s the modern forward, though. Target men basically doesn’t exist at top level football anymore.

We’re in agreement on he can still improve. That’s not what was said at first and you know it.

Wilson in for Isak makes Longstaff for Tonali almost tolerable.

We know the issue with our CBs is players running at them - and that includes Sven to an extent. Weirdly it basically was never allowed to happen in 22-23. Seems to happen all the time now and it’s one of the issues with not having someone holding and being so poor at killing the game / retaining the ball in safe areas of the field.

0.57. I think we can all agree he’s demonstrably brilliant at his job. Figures and what we see on the pitch. Any implication he’s part of the problem is bullshit.
