  1. He was superb, even people that hate him will have to admit that
  2. Glad Armstrong learnt to shoot in Newcastle
  3. Just make it full time please, we aren't scoring tonight
  4. He knew what he was doing with that tackle Arguably a red for me
  5. Good start but no cutting edge (sounds familiar)
  6. Fulham have been the better side but Kane as is often the case is the difference maker They have City next so hopefully they get battered in that game
  7. Same I'm strangely calm but it could be the calm before the storm I guess I just really trust Howe to get it right across the 2 legs
  8. Just watched it back and I was right to think this was a nonsensical take His pass was perfectly fine to Botman, wasn't heavy at all and Botman actually controlled it, he then decided to play a risky pass into Joelinton even though he was crowded and that's what caused the chance for the Pope save
  9. Minor correction, he's 23 but aye it's scary how good he is
  10. People are definitely going over the top, I it's quite simplistic to just look at us scoring 1 in 4 games and thinking there is an issue If you breakdown the stats of those games Vs Leeds = xG 2.18 Vs 0.36, 7 big chances Vs 0 big chances, 16 shots Vs 8 shots Vs Arsenal = xG 1.06 Vs 1.12, 2 big chances Vs 0 big chances, 8 shots Vs 17 shots Vs Fulham = xG 2.36 Vs 1.11 (Mitro pen bulk of this), 2 big chances Vs 1 big chance, 20 shots Vs 5 shots, Vs Palace = xG 1.25 Vs 0.30, 2 big chances Vs 0 big chances, 16 shots Vs 6 shots That's a minimum of 2 big chances in each game, overall 13 big chances Vs 1 for the opposition (which was the Mitro penalty) We are creating chances, very good ones, a lot of them are just falling to the likes of Longstaff and Joelinton. This shows Howe has got the balance right, just being let down by some poor finishing or poor passing in the final 3rd. As Shearer often says, the time to be concerned is when you aren't creating chances.
