    NUFC Transfer Rumours

    Looks excellent on the YT. Must be a queue for him.
  2. You ‘display’ admirable loyalty while on enemy territory. It’s your craic and I’m glad you keep it going.
  3. Whatever happens at Manu, Froggy 100% backs it. When it doesn’t work out and they pivot, he 100% backs it. If they rehired Amorim at the weekend, he’d defend it to the hilt. It’s his schtick. I don’t expect an honest response from Froggy but I often read a witty one.
  4. He’d only ever say that post-sacking. When they’re in situ they’re always golden.
  5. yeah, tbf Manu fans seem to be very, very patient. Impressive, actually. Dont you want Ten Haag back? I’m sure I remember you saying he was the best post-war manager you ever had. Surely time for a retread then?
  6. Thought he was fine tbh. He’s got his limitations that haven’t changed since he arrived. Unlucky not to have had a goal.

    Harvey Barnes

    Thought he looked very dangerous. Barely wasted anything.
  8. I’m guessing he’s being tasked with trying Hollywood balls at every opportunity rather than putting his foot on it and doing the smart, tactical thing.
  9. Made himself important to the team. Best performance so far imo. Looking forward to seeing him play like that in midfield when the opportunity arises.

    Joe Willock

    Think I’d rather have someone with a great eye for a pass, personally. Do think EH prefers players who can progress the ball by running with it though.

    Joe Willock

    Yeah, £20M seems a bargain for the buyer. Hope we’re better sellers than that.
  12. Would fancy Willock to start this one. Carries the ball upfield well and is fairly press resistant (he used to be, anyway…).
  13. We should have the legs to make this a fairly comfortable game as long as we play the ball with bravery and a bit of élan. Get our aura back.
  14. Didn’t see the game (had Series Added clicked on Sky but it still didn’t let me see it this morning). Saw the highlights which made it look like it was all Burnley apart from a couple of shots from us. Checked the match stats and it showed we had more possession, more shots, more shots on target, more corners, higher pass completion. Can’t have been that bad, could it? Sky Editorial all Burnley tix holders or summit?
  15. I don’t know how I'll feel if we set up to stand off them when I look at our midfield compared to theirs…

    St James' Park

    There’s going to be a lot of copium in this thread…
  17. I’m just happy to see him getting plenty of minutes. He needs it and we need to know what he’s capable of in actual games. If it’s at RB for a while, all good. I think he’s looked really good there tbh. Understand posters who’ve noted he doesn’t overlap much, that’s true. He’d be more effective than Tino though at that inside-right AM position that Tino has been taking up when we’ve the ball.

    Maybe watching Wissa’s movement and (hopefully) success in the box during games will inspire him to try to emulate it. Doesn’t need blistering pace in and around the 6 yard box just better anticipation.
  19. Watching the Forest highlights from last year gives me hope he’ll bed in eventually. Maybe he’ll flash in a couple of away games and get some form back.

    Lewis Hall

    He’s pretty good in the air. Times his jumps well.

    Jacob Murphy

    This guy……. The technique required to put a cross in the way he can is a rare thing indeed. But so much of the rest of his game…..fuuuuuuuuck me! Doing the simple stuff well seems too much for him too often. I was watching him thinking ‘this is why we bought Elanga….’ Then Elanga came on….. All forgiven.
