Newcastle Fan

Good assist and looked better today than last week, i do worry about his overall pace and decision making. its a bit odd as when he first came on to the scene he had more energy and smarter plays so i don't know what the issue is.

For a target man he's quite a shit target, loses most of the 50/50s and when he does win the ball he usually just nods it out of play or back to the other team, one of the worst strikers to play for us and that dosn't look like it will change anytime soon.

He always starts the season terribly and gets better towards the end, he needs a rest next game and lets give Anderson his much deserved start.

If this is the sort of performance he will bother putting out for his boyhood club coming on from the bench in Anfield then there is no hope for him, he will be playing against the likes of Fleetwood not long from now.

The var lines are a fucking joke, the exact same scenario would be on side in another game. What a great debut from the lad though, he looks pure quality and his composure for that disallowed goal was something else.

Good move for him to be honest, he's 33 and he won't really be getting ahead of Pope here so he might as well try and make something happen for him there, if De Gea makes one or two more mistakes Ten Hag might just give him the nod.

I admire Burn for stepping up to play left back but he's really not suited for it, we looked so much better once Targett came on and hopefully he'll start vs Liverpool.

He was right about playing with Wood last season, there's no way a player like him can benefit in anyway with having Wood as the main point of attack.

Looked quality today.

Its these sort of games where we need him to step up but he just dosn't have the abillity to score or assist frequently, once again he worked hard without really impacting the game.

Deserves to start, made a huge diffrence to us coming on.

We looked a much better side with no striker than with him up top, he hardly does anything right, tripper kept trying to pick him out but he's always in the wrong position.

He had a terrible game but deliverd when it mattered, which is much more than can be said about those around him.

He's a good lad and a decent personality; but with all the quality he has around him in recent times he really needs to step up, so slow and his passing is all over the place.

Every time we attack or cross you find Wood standing in the wrong position

Tony Mowbray is only 58? i thought he was the same age as Roy Hodgson for some reason.

I enjoy winning these games because they are the sort of games we usually fuck up, lots of players got some minutes in which they clearly needed as the team that started looked so slow and unfit especially when you compare them to those that started vs City. its the sort of game you don't mind scrapping as we'll benefit a lot from giving them some playing minutes.

Lovely player and gave a good account of himself today.

Fucking hell he looks knackered, he could easily have been playing for the Tranmare team had he not got good connections with our club.

He's a weird player, can't attack that well to be a wing-back or defend that well to be a full back.

Him and Bruno are the definition of world class footballers, its amazing that he's playing at right back and yet controlling the full game.

He's been superb since he's joined us, really helped us out in those last few minutes with coming out and calming everything down.

Love his attitude, and he's a world class footballer who's fully focused on helping us, if we can get one or two others like him we'd able to challenge most teams.

Wonderful today, so calm with the ball, playing against a midfield like City's is never easy but he held his own.

Wonderful character and footballer, he is one of the key reasons for our transformation since the take-over, fantastic both on and off the pitch.
