Newcastle Fan

Used to buy all my match tickets closer to where he would be playing at least for one half, he was worth the ticket price alone that season.

Man of the match for me, schooled an the France midfield.

What an assist for an incredible goal

Earlier today Bahrain beat Australia down under with a proper smash and grab.

Very good work from Parkinson for the first goal and great effort from all the young lads involved, lets hope this gives them confidence to push on.

Wasn't he saying the abuse he got from us was so bad he was thinking of quitting football?

I actually like that we are doing thing sustainably, less so when we don't sign anyone useful in the window but that's more on the management than the owners. we have come a long way from the Ashley days without having to bend any rules or put the club at any risk.

He's done really well in covering for Schar, have to say when i saw the Bournemouth and how he struggled at times coping with their physicality i was worried but he more than held his own in the last two games.

Think the international break came at a right time with us, we can focus on improving the areas that we struggled with in the first 4 games and make sure by the time this game comes we are more prepared.

The one thing that i dislike about him is he tendency to overplay sometimes, its part of his game but if teams press him correctly it could be disastrous for us, he lost it at 1-1 today and it could've costed us the game but they missed it.

Well done to him for making the right subs and organizing us well but we really need to put a lot of work in the international break, we won't always get this luck.

It was a smash and grab and its amazing we walked away with 3 wins a draw in the first 4 games considering our performances but there is no reason not to be happy about that. If it was Tottenham this would almost hurt more than the way they got smashed last year because if they had any proper striker on today they would've won.

His quality showed when he came on, can't wait to have him fully match fit and starting.

Thought he dealt well with Odobert and forced them to switch wingers but he was starting to look shaky, sub was the correct decision.

He works hard but really shouldn't be starting when Tonali is an option, hopefully after the break and with a fitter Tonali we can see that.

Happy he scored because he really should've passed to Gordan for that chance in the second half.

Superb today but he really scares me when the ball is at his feet and Schar isn't around.

He made a lot of good saves today, even for the goal he redeemed himself and saved it and Burn decided to smash it into the roof of the net

Superb today, he created that goal for us out of nothing.

Lets consider the last 4 games his pre-season and judge him after the international break.

He was totally shit and did almost everything wrong then boom he gets the winning assist

Not sure about the formation tbh.

Having the final sign off means the management team have to do their work and bring it to them to sign off, across the transfer window all we heard is that we are bidding for Marc Guehi, and then panic happened when we realized we are not getting him, PIF are not actively involved in the day to day running of the club and even Yasir's role is Non-executive, its on Eales, Mitchell and to an extent Howe to identify suitable targets, negotiate the deal and bring it to PIF who will usually just sign it off. The PIF team is actually actively involved in the signings made for the Saudi League and they seem to be doing a far better job than our lot

Only saw the first half yesterday but he was impressive, assisted the goal and we doing a lot of good work both recovering the ball and moving the team forward.
