Have had a very clear vision of Woltemade heading a goal. Make of that what you will.

Could be yeah, I'm just saying whether the tactic is viable depends on which is which. Guess the reason xG is low for long shots is that they are hard to score. But of course some players outperform xG in whatever situation they excel at.

Depends on how viable you think it is to use that tactic I suppose. Are you expecting to bag loads of long range goals sustainability, or getting lucky?

Still think Delap is a good player like, seems to have good awareness, mobile and technically decent.

What a lovely time to be a Newcastle fan.

Ultimately it’s a pointless comparison, nobody is going to deliberately finish 10th so they don’t have to play in Europe. Eddie Howe least of all.

No offence but that's a mad take. Especially for a club that is basically usually not in Europe in recent memory.

Never seen him play but he looks like the next Busquets.

Think my favourite time apart from the trophy was actually during the game. Especially after the first goal, it just felt like a game we were going to win. Almost gave me time to prepare to process the fact that we’d actually won a cup. Isak’s now a daft cunt and I’m glad he’s done nothing since, not going to let it spoil this win.

There’s seeds? I knew something was going on behind the scenes.

Mixed feelings about letting them move to the away end vs just being thrown out.

Vamos!

Surely sitting outside facing forwards is totally different to being in a room with the entire squad.

I mean, just objective nonsense. Isn’t going to help himself even with his own fans.

Hopefully Rosenior will be great at convincing people to sign then dire at managing them once they arrive.

I wouldn’t back Spurs to beat anyone at the moment.

I haven’t followed the details but there was obviously no way Gordon would miss the Barca game unless he was absolutely fucked. Any other viewpoint is silly and always was.

You can post that “if he’s agitating to go” argument in any thread at any time. Yes it’s correct but there’s rarely any evidence it’s happening.

He speaks very good English though.

Sometimes I think we don’t deserve nice things. He’s had a difficult season like everybody but his work rate has been invaluable. Talk about duels percentages in football misses the point, if you run back faster than your opponent and collect the ball first, it’s not a duel. But the attack has been stopped. Sandro does that 2 or 3 times a game.

What the hell? Dire post

Page 3 for this guy, disgraceful.

At least he gave a couple of early yellows to Chelsea which reduced their ability to tactically foul. One positive.

Eddie Howe Howe Howe!

He’s been showing really good attitude lately. Clapping teammates, acknowledging their work, tracking back hard. General body language is excellent.
