Newcastle Fan

Was having a flawless game but i do think he lost his man for the goal, if it was a back two i'd understand but in a back three you really should go with him faster and keep the other two free, but i can't speak highly enough of him since he came to our side, hopefully many solid performances coming up.

His contributions to our run are highly appreciated but he really needs to pick up his game, he works hard but lacks so much basic footballing ability, can't pass, can't shoot, can't dribble and can't hold up the ball properly on the ground, i guess years of playing for Burnley does that for you.

I can't criticize him much considring the amount of times he bailed us out on his own, clearly working his way back to fitness and i would start him and give 60 mins against Everton to help him next game.

He's good in defense but terrible on the ball and considering we don't have that much quality to begin with it really doesn't help.

I wonder what our teams schedule will look like, surely it doesn't make sense to go back to Newcastle after yesterday and back to London on Sunday, perhaps they could just stay and train somewhere in London today and tomorrow ahead of the game?

As average as he is he doesn't deserve to be dropped yet, he seems to be improving slightly and put in important tackles in the second half, hopefully he can start building on this.

Thought he was one of the best players on the pitch yesterday, put it a lot of good tackles and moved the ball around really well.

What a monster, will be interesting to see him up against Chelsea on the weekend.

Our boys fought for every inch today, this was not an easy game and they still managed to come back with all three points, wonderful job by the players and Eddie.

Superb today, player a major part in us getting the three points.

What a fucking block that was towards the end, he did everything he could today and should've had an assist had Shelvey not scuff his shot.

I really want it to work for Jacob but he needs to calm the fuck down and make the right choice in the final third.

This guy is quality, literally ran himself into the ground today and scored the winning goal, he will only get better.

What a wonderful performance today, was one of the main reasons we've won.

This was a great game to bring him on in, hope he is back for the next one.

Struggling a bit with the physicality of the game and i think he made himself dizzy at some point with all the running he's been doing, its a good game for him to adjust to the requirements of this league, hope he can improve in the second half

That was exactly the sort of goal we signed him for, played very well in the first half.

Hope he runs the show tonight, good luck to him on his first start.

Looks like we are going unchanged based on Howe's comments.

He comes across incredibly well in that podcast but a part of me was uncomfortable about a current player being asked all these questions.

Everton's Keane loves an own goal dosn't he.

I would still keep him, the balance of the midfield looks great and all three weren't at their best today, but hopefully that can change vs Southampton. as much as i'm excited to see more of Bruno we haven't lost a single game all year in the league so no need to change things and put more pressure on him.

He dosn't look like a goal scorer either and no way does he have the pace to run behind defenders so what is he? Mind the turn and pass for the first goal is exactly the sort of thing he should be trying to do more often, really good play then.

He is working hard but his lack of quality is so clear, he seems afraid of crossing the ball in the box which for a right back is quite weird.

TAA running the show upfront and in the back today.
