For his crossing, I don’t think he has that kind of top-level technique in his locker unfortunately (he obviously has other stuff going for him though). Should focus more on getting his cut-backs into the right areas and he’ll be a world-beater.

Have it on good authority that he was kicked off the coach to Nottingham for constantly telling the driver he was going the wrong way.

Already gets in to the Newcastle all-time xi for me. Fantastic player and personality.

This is great.

Christ….. what a miss.

Soon as I leave we score i now what I have to do now…

Taylor is about as bad as it gets. Yet to see a game he’s reffed that hasn’t been decided by his incompetence.

Unfortunate goal aside, we’ve been the better team. Wish we could win a game away from home when we're playing well, man.

We’ll get nothing today from this nonce.

Annoying as fuck.

Isak could have done better there. Cross wasn’t bad at all.

Can’t wait for the day where these twat refs are replaced by some sort of ai drone.

One of the absolute worst in the game.

Certainly not ideal, no but not even sure how true these claims are.

Having a mad sesh is probably not ideal for his recovery buts it’s not a mortal sin, man. In any case, what he gets up to in his personal life is none of our business (illegal activities aside); so long as he performs when he gets on the pitch.

He handled that very well tbf. Are all sports journalists obnoxiously smug or is that unique to the ones in England?

Sounds like a bit of a downgrade…

In his post match interview he said “fans think I can’t pass a ball 2 yards”… So you can see the stick he receives does get to him. Think he suffers from being too local, if that makes any sense. He seems to be hyper-aware of the fan zeitgeist and, whether the criticism is justified or not (and I happen to think it’s over the top) it’s not great for a player’s confidence. Lad needs to somehow find a way to separate himself from all of that and focus on delivering more performances like this one.

Some people just like to moan. That was a very professional performance and as deserved a 3 points as you’re likely to see in the prem.

The Longstaff run continues!

My stream is showing the first half now ffs

Keown doesn’t get enough hate imo. Absolute tosser that thinks he’s some sort of footballing intellectual.

I like him but, pace aside, I don’t think he offers enough to displace Burn’s aerial ability. Burn is pretty decent on the ball and is also criminally underrated on here; the guy can go on a run of really good games but it only takes one mistake for him to be labeled shite.

Good stuff. Really enjoyed that. Hopefully a kind draw now and we can really kick on.

One of those where as soon as he lost the ball you knew what was coming
