Just in time to fuck off again for AFCON which starts on 21 December, missing the busy festive period.

He's class like. Really enjoy watching him play.

Sort of but I've just supported Newcastle long enough... (And I remember a woeful West Ham side beating us last season) -
Surely Russell Martin has to go at Rangers. He's been atrocious.

Did really well for the 4th -
I wasn't that impressed with Barcelona against us. That high line is something else. Pedri and De Jong are class but they can absolutely be got at, and we were undone by two brilliant individual moments from Rashford. Even a rotated PSG are class though. Hopefully we don't go into that fixture needing anything

It used to work really well with Burn tucked in and Trippier really high up the pitch. Might be a return to that. They're 2/3 years older like. I'd quote like to have seen Ramsdale and Hall out there given that they'll probably cede possession and try and catch us on the break. -
He did and that's why he looked better, I still think he's being asked to come centrally with this tactical 5-3-2 (or whatever it was) tweak. Probably to get closer to Woltemade. I can't be arsed to find any data but id guess that he still took up more central positions than on average last season, when we were more of a 4-3-3 shape Either way he's does his best work in the channel, particularly on the left around their penalty area. That's when he's at his most dangerous.
-
Just keep him on the left. Its ridiculous that hes being played through the middle. We've seen that it doesnt work one bit. He's a left sided forward and thats that.
-
I think he certainly wants us to have other options. We played 4-3-3 with much of the same lineup last season. Whilst it worked, we were sort of predictable, if still very hard to play against. He wants 5-3-2 in our locker. I'm just not sure we have the players to implement what he wants to do. Gordon centrally, Murphy in more central positions, a midfield that doesn't seem to click.
-
Far, far from convinced that this 5-3-2 is going to work
-
Gary Neville certainly did, the lickspittle square cunt.
-
Can't even kick the fucking thing out of his hands man. Some tremendous saves other keepers wouldn't make, but all for nowt because he was all over the place for the corner, which they only got because his kicking is hopeless.
-
Fucking camp in your own half for 45 minutes and we get all we deserve
-
ACL that
-
Fuck that. I hope all three go down and the same teams keep winning the league. Show the PL 'product' for what it really is. Financially doped, uncompetitive and sanitised.

100,000 in the queue just in the first hour for Benfica tickets. Whether they're bots or not, it's beginning to look fucking pointless having a membership.

AFC Bournemouth 0-0 Newcastle United (21/09/25) | post-match from pg. 33

Think how recognises that we can't play the same team, with the same formation week in, week out this season. He's going to want to use 532 and 541, where we don't press as high up. Defensively we were solid. These have tore us apart in recent seasons. The issue today is that when you ask Murphy and Willock to come in and play narrower, they're absolutely shown up. Murphy is capable of quality from the wing but the more central he plays, the poorer he is. People say it'll click but I don't think either Willock or Murphy are capable of doing what they've been asked to do in this formation. Livramento is more suited as a traditional full back than a wing back too, which doesn't help. I thought Hall was poor and Thiaw could have been sent off. Tonali was quality and I thought Miley was decent too. Botman was excellent as was Burn. Happy with a point with a rotated squad. -
It's about that time in his tenure at clubs that it goes tits up for Emery Reckon Graham Potter will go immediately if they can get Nuno. If not, be might get one more game. He's had long enough anyway, crap last season, had a full pre season and they're still no good.
-
Injuries have taken their toll. He's lost that pace and athleticism that made him a really good ball carrier into space. Doesn't offer anything else really

Either shirt pulls are fouls or they're not?
