This Joelinton on the left needs ditching. Just get him in the middle man, he's brilliant along side Bruno.

Agreed

I get being able to interchange is a good asset but Joelinton is at his best in midfield 

The 150k p/w wouldn't surprise me, if he's out of contract then you are saving a huge amount on transfer fee so that amount will go towards a signing on fee and in wages

You'd never see Bruno or Trippier sauntering back in to position so much. I've been at games where he's literally 2/3 into their half when the ball is on the edge of our penalty box.

I saw him sprint the length of the pitch against Wolves to try and help defend and that was late on in the game 

And even in his recent appearances off the bench you see him try and defend more, he's just not good at defending

I fucking didn’t, and neither did anyone I know.  Chugging pints in the away end and bringing back a KK well past his sell-by date as a manager made most of us nervous, not excited.

 

I can’t speak for anyone outside of me and my mates, but the day KK returned as manager coincided with a mate’s 30th.  There was a big group of lads out with him - all NUFC supporters - and only one of them was genuinely excited.  The rest of us were nervous as it suggested a thin-skinned man desperate to appease and a man with fuck all knowledge of football. 

Well, I'll clarify then, the majority of the fanbase loved Ashley 

Aye, absolutely no chance Beckham is better than Bale

He made himself popular by sacking Allardyce and bringing back Keegan. It lasted a few months then his true colours emerged which caused the change in supporters mood. He didn't invest a penny of his own money in the club. He bled it dry. Ellis Short ploughed in 100s of £millions of his own cash into Sunderland to give them their longest unbroken top flight run in the top flight since the 1950s. He deserved more appreciation. The 2 owners don't compare in terms of their investment or intentions.

I totally understand why the fans turned on Ashley, for me the Keegan moment was it, for others it was probably a bit later.

Also, as comparisons you'll get no arguments from me that he was the worst.

However, I just think it's harsh to say they are fickle cos they changed their mind towards him when we've done the exact same with Ashley and also numerous examples with players too.

On Ellis Short, what I would say is that I think his intentions were good and he lost a lot of his money into that club, though accept the argument it's partly due to mistakes he made

The difference with Ashley is that he didn't have good intentions and he walked away with a healthy profit at the end of it

You lot all loved Ellis Short when he wore a FTM pin badge. Some people are easily won over I suppose and then are just as quick to turn the other way. Think it's called Fickle or something like that.

Mate, we all loved Ashley at the start

Football fans are fickle, it's not uniquely Mackem behaviour

Been impressed with him when I've seen him for Barca

Lascelles…

 

 

He's not leaving the Man-U bench to sit on ours

Looking like that’s two struck off already against Chelsea ? Still 45mins to go admittedly.

I'm discounting cups 

I don't see them doing that in the league 

In their next 6 they have Man-U, Spurs (twice) and Arsenal 

Win all 6 and I'll concede I was wrong 

Insane that he still has 4.5 years left on his contract 

Think we might have to loan him out season after season until his contract is finally done

Not convinced he can play in CM

The little he's impressed for us it's been out wide and that's where he played a lot for Rovers

So basically they didn't have a good camera angle so stuck with the on field decision 

Nowt wrong with that, should be onside

Came off the defender

Hmmm, not a fan of those like

Defender is only playing it cos Salah is there (in an offside position)

Surely that's offside like???

I guess the positive is that he only has 18 months left on his contract 

Really good finish from Nunez, class delivery from Trent 

Defended him in the past as I believe he did play a part in our run that helped us stay up.

However I never want to see him play for us again, that was disgraceful tonight. Missing the chance was one thing but his hold up play was awful.

Ah man, keeper is gonna have one of those games isn't he

Yep, going to be like that 

That's offside like

Sake

Get Bruno, Trippier and Miggy on 

Woos for Isak

Had zero confidence when I saw Murphy in that position
