Newcastle Fan

Immense tonight, really proud of how far he's come.

What a fucking player this guy is turning out to be.

I wouldn't have minded a draw and even a defeat if it was a matter of them putting away their chances but the fact that they got 8 minutes and then that penalty will have me going to sleep really pissed off

He's ready for it all.

There is no possible logical reason that this was a penalty.

Absloute disgrace of a decision

Anderson was fantastic before his injury, will be asset when he is back.

Love the overall vibe and togetherness of the squad especially after the end, we've had a quite a few special games already this year.

He's a proper striker, we are lucky that we've got two of them but unlucky that they are both quite injury prone.

Shouldn't Murphy and Diallo be on the bench because their youngsters? We need one of our GKs to get injured as right now we have a full 11 + a few subs for our injury list eleven

It will be all about working with what we've got and taking it one game at a time, out of situations like this you can still find some positives such as Miley who would've never got this sort of chance with a full squad, hopefully some others can rise to the occasion until we get some of our senior players back.

Still can't kick a ball (today's thunderbastard aside) but can kick the shit out of anyone in his way

No Isak in the training pics today.

Any chance of a Red vs Blues kick about during the Christmas break?

No Return confirmed so far and for some reason hard to find any training pictures, any news on Isak returning?

Did he do the operation? he has no return date yet.

A week until our next game and no news of any injury return yet?

I'm in town between the 15th and 30th of December and a side from the NUFC games, any games for the local teams that people think might be worth going to?

High pressing is alright for a striker, its chasing balls flying towards you from every direction that gets you injured and that's what happened to Wilson.

So we should be looking something like this: Pope Trippier Lascelles Schar Liveramento Bruno Longstaff Willock Joelinton Isak Almiron/Miggy With Subs Being Karius/Dubravka Dummet Krafth Ritchie Hall Miley And whoever else is available If we can get two Wilson/Barnes/Botman back it will really help Longer term absentees will remain in the form of Murphy/Anderson/Burn/Targett/Tonali which we can sort of manage without but any further injuries will be a disaster.

With Bruno back and barring not injuries during the break we should be able to field and ok-ish side and and subs for Chelsea, its just the run that will follow will be very unforgiving and if players start dropping again we will struggle a lot, the next two weeks should be all about proper planning and how we will be managing the squad we have for that period as it will a game every 3/4 days until January.

Another absolute stinker today, what i don't enjoy is that it seems like everything HAS to go through him, and its all fine when he's having many of his better games but on nights light this and recently, we really need to try and have more players create.

On one hand i don't want to be too harsh on him because he's semi-retired but on the other hand he adds very little value that we really need to make sure we don't see him play many more games going forward, hopefully we'll have enough players back to ensure that.

I need to add that he really needs to cut the diving off his game, he's terrible at it and ends up putting us in too much trouble.

The minute you put him up top he loses all his powers
