Much better second half. Great stuff.

Take 1-0 but quite a frustrating watch with moves breaking down and inconsistent final ball.

Been said before but are we at the limits of what’s possible with this current, albeit exciting, style of play? We've been desperate for more technical players and perhaps a move to a more possession based style will help away to the better teams and in Europe.

Having a Dyche or Allerdyce is great until the club avoids relegation and then Dyche or Allerdyce is your manager. October seems very early for a relegation escapologist type manager.

Sesko is so slow.

Slab heed is a real menace in either box.

He’s been shit, he’s an experienced PL winger. He’s got ample opportunity to improve, If he does people will shower him with compliments.

9 FPL Points this season. The Invisible Man.

Both absolutely honking this season.

1-3 to the Mags.

Bruno, Isak, Tonali.

Impressed with his endurance today. Pressed hard and chased everything. Tangled all game with very aggressive defenders. He’s got the stomach for the fight.

Not always easy on the eye. Another clean sheet, another goal for Big Nick who battled and chased everything. Gordon and Elanga proper stinky.

Elanga had one superpower and he’s beaten back there. He’s been proper hopeless the day.

Frustrating first half, familiar lack of invention and poor decision making in the final third.

Third defeat on the bounce. Isak lumbering around like a slower version of Shola. Love it.

Have it you bald cunt!

Might be in the minority but I’d rather the Mackems beat Man Utd….. I’ll get my coat…..

Shocking Feyernoord decision, proper PGMOL vibes.

Overrated, sorry wrong thread.

Crying out for an Eze type. Howe doesn’t seem to trust attacking or defensive midfielders. He wants a 6/8 hybrid to interchange. We lack creativity.

Still living off his reputation, knee jerk reaction? No, it’s been months now.

Gabriel reprising his ‘falling down with minimal contact and allowing the Toon a piss easy goal’ from a couple of years ago when he buckled when Joelinton stood behind him.

Botman been excellent, Thiaw steady too.

Not a comfortable half, Gordon obviously tasked to support Burn with Saka so he’s not getting forward as much. He’s been poor when he’s had the ball going forward.
