Newcastle Fan

Video going viral of him giving a rolex to a fan outside the stadium

superb in the back today, looked so comfortable. if only he can add some attacking threat in set pieces.

So good on and off the ball today, love his energy.

I was meaning in general terms but that's bad timing on my part

I was tired watching him today, he ran his socks off, deserved a goal or and assist for his efforts.

Fucking different level, runs the show so smoothly.

He looked out of pace in the first half today, many times the ball was put into a nice area but he wasn't there, but much better in the second half, he's exactly the sort of number 9 we need but we should seriously back him up otherwise we are in big trouble if he gets injured.

Quite ironic that we signed him as a striker and gave him the number 9, because this guy can do everything except score

What a wonderful performance today, the guy is just class.

He is making better runs and has a good understanding with Bruno but we have to upgrade him, he's the same Almiron when it comes to the final third , no end product and more often than not makes the wrong decision, we can't rely on him as a first team starter if we are to push ourselves this season.

Loving the fact that two Sunderland fans have created a whole account about their love for Bilbao and how closely associated the two clubs are only for Bilbao to go creating full video montages about how much they love Newcastle saw the sad bastards tweeting to the Bilbao Spanish page trying to undermine it but they were largely ignored.

Ritchie again, he needs to start dropping down the divisions.

Ritchie picking fights in a fucking friendly

Deserves a yellow card for that touch.

Good game all around, we really lack quality in the final third when Wilson and ASM are not there, on the other hand i really enjoyed Anderson and Longstaff in midfield.

Sean Longstaff very very impressive in this second half, the front three are tragic.

Even those who have tons of cash know its wiser to use the bank credit facilities to finance your business, its quite common practice and at least it shows intent to actually invest properly.

Player of the pre-season so far, lets see if he can keep this up when the season starts.

Reminded me of Oliver Bernard in many ways, looked very decent today.

That was a really silly tackle to make in a friendly, could've seriously injured their player. he's been fantastic in keeping position and moving with the ball but he needs to manage his tackles better.

There is absolutely no point in trying to play any style of football with him up-top, just like last season the amount of good balls into the box that just pass in front of him because he is not moving right or trying to get to them is really silly, even the most basic league one/league two striker will manage to get to one or two of them.

His own thread, really?

For the second half, the NUFC XI that played the first 45 minutes of game I swapped pitches with the NUFC XI that played the first 45 minute of game II. The two Burnley XIs stayed where they were.

From the same source: Half time game I: Newcastle XI 1 Burnley XI 0 (tbc) A close range shot from Allan Saint-Maximin on 38 minutes divides the sides. Team: Line-up to follow Half time game II: Newcastle XI 3 Burnley XI 1 (tbc) Scorer details awaited; both sides were awarded penalties, Burnley scored theirs but Newcastle didn't.

Nufc.com says its actually two games of 11-aside being played against Burnley right now. perhaps that's why the youngsters were also called in.
