Surely Man-U aren't winning, I mean for the past few days their fans have been pissing their pants saying he'll make sure they drop points

I've always been a fan of Longstaff but if we were to sell him and it wasn't to be Bruno to pick up his role, then I think someone like Gallagher would be a really good option in that number 8 role.

 

 

 

Sell Longstaff and replace him with someone not as good as him? That's madness

4-4?

Aye, finished with a last minute penalty to Hull 

Hahahaha, get in

What a way and time to concede

Blatant penalty, dumb defending 

Penalty to Hull

Should be 5, great play before

Really good from Diallo 

He's clearly a level above The Championship 

That's a really good goal by them

That defending from Hume was horrific 

Get in, what a finish 

Hull leading

Hull are awful in this half, they keep passing the ball to Sunderland, only a matter of time before they concede

But I thought flags were a pathetic thing to do ?

Blackburn play Norwich which means one or both will drop points 

They need to put a run together if they are to make the play offs

I'm not too sure I agree with that, I think those runs were necessary at the time and it's how he was told to play

Bruce tactics were give him the ball and let him try and do it all, which resulted in lots of those mazy dribbles which was great individually but as a team there was no great benefit as he was often heavily marked or isolated 

Currently that's different, when he now picks up the ball there are runners either ahead of him or alongside him, he no longer needs to take on 5 people nor is he asked to do that 

Wasn't able to watch the match live so recorded it and avoided my phone to not see the score.

The last time I did something similar was in 2007 when we played Portsmouth and I watched MOTD not knowing what was to come, we were 3 nil down after only 11 minutes so that was an absolute disaster.

Was a part of me worried that would happen today but had absolutely nothing to worry about. Even when Zouma scored I was confident we'd still win and scoring so soon after kick off was so relaxing.

Is Donnarumma is far superior to Pope?

Donnarumma is not all that, especially relative to how much he gets hyped 

He's still young so can still improve

14 goals in 86 games?

 

You're right actually, my bad.

How does Ginola compare to that? And was he 'So bad so often' too?

I love Maxi and I'm glad to see he's put in a number of good performances recently (Wolves, Man-U), this idea that some people have that he can't play for Howe was always ludicrous to me and we are seeing a slightly different Maxi

Also the clamour from some to sell him was strange, almost like the concept of having a squad is strange to them (maybe still reeling from Mike Ashley) 

Our squad will improve when we get rid of the weakest members (Ritchie, Lewis etc) not being getting rid of one of out better players who also is unique in what he brings to the squad

What's happened to Andros Townsend?

Did his ACL last year, probably won't be back until next season 

Any Newcastle fan that wants anything other than an Everton win needs their head testing

What happened having that automatic offside technology?

The Premier League love to be behind on things. 

It's coming next season

Im just saying overall. This season,last season. He seems to have adopted Howes vision. But im just used to se him deliver the amazing stuff and then weirdly his just not there mentally anymore

Overall I disagree, he isn't a 1 good game in 5 and has never been that for us 

They really are massively drugged up on copium 

Rather than acknowledge we are a canny side instead they'll rubbish the league from our position and below 

(But the Champo mid table is where the real quality sits)

Cant ask anything of him more than he showed today. I just hope it isnt that typical one game against a top club and then he goes back to the shadows next 3-4 games. He needs to build on this game and keep it going mentally.

He was poor against Forest but very good against Wolves, so he's had 2 out of 3 good games 

It's quite strange that during his loan spell he was pretty much finishing all sorts of chances but his all round game was fairly anonymous (Bruce ball I guess), whereas now his all round game has significantly improved but he's missing a fair amount of chances 

Still, overall he was brilliant and has been for a while
