Newcastle Fan

Now the real question is where we go from here? with the fixtures coming in fast i think its a good thing that we can rotate and have cover in case someone gets injured, ideally there is no reason to keep playing him once Schar and Burn are back and we can afford to give him some rest to continue getting to full fitness, i would play Botman in the FA cup and rest him for the league game against Wolves.

Thought yesterday was a difficult game for him, for once i saw him get out muscled and not able to fully force himself against their midfield like he usually does, also its clear he's playing with an injured shoulder, i think he will benefit from resting the next game to be ready for Wolves.

Arsenal fans must've been so jealous watching him put that performance against them while Havertz is missing from point blank

It will be mad to sell him right now, PSR or no PSR, we need to keep him until Pope is back.

Was disappointed with him today, wasn't his best on the ball, hope he can play again in the FA cup and maybe we'll see a better version of him.

Martinelli might fake an injury to avoid seeing him again in February

So good to see him putting this balls on, for years we had Almiron cutting in and losing the ball which was so frustrating for our strikers, last season we really needed another player like him in the team.

Absolute monster, their tactics were all smashed by him.

Must admit i was not a fan of the changes but it worked well played.

What a difference he's been making to us, even late on i had a feeling if he gets on interception he would've ran the full field attacking them, insane fitness.

Sven BOSSMAN!

They are already fighting with each other read their fourm for some entertainment

Didn't burn do the exact same thing later in the half and ref called handball and foul for that?

I still have no idea how our first was not ruled out for handball, i would be fuming if this happend against us.

Hard for him to make much impression in 10/15 minutes each game but next week he should be getting a good run out in the cup.

Well done today, worked hard and got us back in it, i still think he can improve his end product which considering the stats above is crazy done enough for Tuchel to keep him starting for England.

Give him a day to recover and throw him in again, no way we could risk playing Kelly in such an important game.

Superb today, was not an easy game at all and he did all he could to help us.

What a fucking player, pocketed both Werner and Son all game.

If i was Tuchel i would be thinking about him for the next squad, immense once again.

What a man, fantastic all around today and could've had a lovely goal to go with the performance.

Scrappy win but can't complain at all, 6 wins out of 6 is fantastic and we are not always going to batter them.

How many did Almiron have in his whole career with us?

I think it was the right decision to put him from the start, he's had sometime now to fully recover and as per Howe he played three games, last time we've put Kelly on we lost at home to West Ham and Botman is one of the best young defenders in the world, the sooner we have him fully fit the better it is for our season.
