Ronaldo

Yeah, nowhere near wanting him out but he’s quite clearly out of his depth at finding a tactical solution to the dreadful midfield issues because the 3 of them are worse by the game. The Almiron and Burn situations I’m sick of talking about.

If anyone has a good means of watching this I’d appreciate it. That was not a fun 45 going from place to place.

Way over the top now, mind. Let it go Lynn.

100 games or so missed though injury by the end of this season. He was signed in 2020 man. Outrageous.

McTominay isn’t a player I’d want here but come on. He can at least get up and down the pitch without throwing up. Imagine Nolan playing for Man U.

We were on the one bus out of God knows how many dozen that broke down about an hour into the journey back. We were stood in a lay-by awaiting the replacement for an inordinate period. The Man U fans driving past in their own buses seemed to quite enjoy seeing us there. Atrocious day from start to finish.

2005. Shit day.

His starting position means there’s either a big gap between him and the defence or a big gap between defence and midfield though - so the blame lies with his style of goalkeeping unfortunately.

Probably more to do with the fact Lascelles isn’t next to him.

He was brilliant in his second season. You’ve got this wrong. He absolutely ran the show for us in midfield for 5 years.

Speed at Sheff United yes. Not Speed at Newcastle.

All round play in terms of what? His contribution outside the box has always been shit. Very fine goalscorer inside it obvs but as the overall package he’s vastly inferior to Isak.

Miley isn’t up to it off the ball. He’s 17 though so I wouldn’t expect him to be.

He’s clearly not a great shot shopper, mind. He’s ok in that area.

What you on about daft lad?

Big win. Still massive issues with that midfield but hopefully players back soon to change that.

Disgraceful goal to concede.

I’d rather they weren’t going at anyone, tbh. Just stating a fact, there’s a target on his back now.

If Burn gets his arse handed to him (again) it’s going to get nasty.

Clearly.

Why’s that funny? We absolutely cannot persist with that abysmal midfield 3.

The one against City would’ve been a disgrace if he didn’t save it.
