A lot more bite to his game now as well; runs around with a scowl on his face instead of the wide-eyed lost foal he looked like before Howe came in.

Even in his interview he comes across as such a stud. Loved his banter with Ryan Fraser in his full NUFC.co.uk interview “look at him with that box of pizza, I’m taller than you Fraze!”. Really does seem like the kind of player with the aura, discipline and intelligence to one day become a very good manager.

I said this when we signed him but I think he’s underrated offensively as well, has a decent cross on him and is a solid passer. I think people overlook that because he excels defensively; massive upgrade on anything we had in that position. Wouldn’t be averse at all to signing him permanently.

Father is mixed race iirc. As a mixed race person myself, I can’t help thinking we’d have beautiful babies together. In all seriousness he’s every bit the world class rb I thought we’d be getting when we signed him. Immense player and a real winner.

Was Ben-Arfaesque against Everton. What a player.

It was hilarious; Gray saying that he could only see a comfortable Everton win and Keys saying our only good signing this window was Wood (and that we’re the likeliest to go down).

Think 5 is fair. Massive win and we’ve potentially pulled Everton into it as well (who look really poor). Still 1 bad set of results or an injury crisis away from being fully back in doomsville.

Next goal wins imo.

Loving Trippier’s corners. Guy is just class.

Let’s put on Bruno now lads, yeah?

We don’t look great. Not many chances bring created by our lot.

Being annoyed that a better player is being benched for a very important game isn’t unreasonable tbh.

I’d say the French League is as physical if not more so than the EPL anyway.

Granted there are perhaps other considerations but presumably not starting because “he doesn’t know the Premier League” or whatever is straight out of the Pfm handbook. Possibly harsh, just wanted to see our new guy, man .

As disappointed as I am, I can understand if he hasn’t had enough time with his team-mates. Annoying as hell and such a Pfm move though…

Ah well. I’m sure he’ll throw him on when we’re losing.

I never realized how petty I was; my first reaction was, “ooooopps Atalanta, should have accepted our massive offer” Not a great look for me, that.

Everton have a good team and seem to have galvanized after Rafa’s departure. Really need a win but expecting a spirited loss. Massively hope I’m wrong of course (more so than any other game this season).

Nah. Should we stay up it’ll be by a few points only imo; skin of our teeth stuff.

At the very least we need to beat one of Lampard or Gerard in the next couple of games.

Clark, rightly or wrongly, has only been picked ahead of Fede because he’s left-footed. I can only guess that the arrival of Burn and the fact that Dummett is back will mean he gets omitted from the squad.

Such a shame. Had such great insight, a true journalist. RIP.

Unfortunately he’d probably be the best manager in that league, purely on the basis that he has the ability to scream “Get stuck in you woofters!!” louder than the others.

Maybe I’m being naive but what’s the correlation between PIF or the Saudi state and rape?

Agreed, but as captain and the right-sided cb I think Howe benches Schar instead of Lascelles.
