I'm not saying we're immune to being beaten in midfield. You absolutely didn't run over us in midfield at Old Trafford though, outside of the first 20 minutes. As soon as Mainoo came on for Zirkzee it was a different game. Also if I remember correctly both goals came down our right, from two crosses into the box. The 4-1 game, where we rested half the side because it was sandwiched between the two Lyon games, aye you absolutely did run over us in midfield that day.

It doesn't. It's a lazy comparison to the side under Ten Hag when the midfield was hopelessly exposed and Casemiro was being asked to sprint up and down the pitch as a lone DM. That just isn't the case under Amorim. The midfield is much more compact. The exposure in this system is coming from the wings, not central midfield. Dalot isn't a good enough wing back and Dorgu is extremely raw. That combined with a striker who doesn't score = a lot of defeats.

Casemiro was overweight at the start of the year and given the run around under Ten Hag. That hasn't been the case under Amorim, in Europe or in the league. He's lost weight and been much, much better. You also like making a point of it being a second tier European competition but the truth is you'd give your left nut to win it, and the winners list of that trophy is littered with huge clubs. Mainoo has been injured for large parts of this season, so a bit harsh to criticise him when he's not had a good run in the team. Garnacho also has 11 goals and 10 assists this season as a 20 year old. Mental that opposition fans are happy to criticise that and say it's not good enough. I daresay that's one of the best returns from an under 21 player in world football? It's more than what Gordon has managed this season and your fans were suggesting he's an £80m player when Liverpool were interested? Be consistent. This is surface level knowledge of our club, and well off the mark. You've went after all the wrong players. Had you criticised Hojlund or Dalot you might have been on to something. You're right about Onana at least, and no amount of coaching is going to save him. He is stone fucking useless and has singlehandedly cost us dozens of points in the league and in Europe over the last two seasons.

I would expect us to continue paying something similar to what we have been, which is about £75k a week. Highly unlikely that he takes a pay cut to move.

He hasn't done OK in UEL games, he has been brilliant. Give the man credit where it's due. We're in the final and he's been a huge reason for that. If we lose to Spurs and still want to revamp the squad, we'll likely sell one of Mainoo or Garnacho to do it. Any fee for Rashford is pure profit as well. A good summer of sales and we will be able to spend a lot.

Been a decent player. Never looked great but has never really been bad and is still playing a part. Time for him to go but I'll be a bit sad when he leaves.

Not true. He's been one of our best players since Amorim came in, and is probably the second name on the team sheet after Fernandes. The extra protection offered to the midfield by Ugarte has allowed him to focus on what he's good at. We're all aware his wages are mental, but 99% of fans want him to stay now until his contract ends. He's been a different player since Ten Hag left, not to mention that he's a serial winner. Rashford, Sancho, Eriksen, Lindelof, Evans and Heaton will almost certainly leave. Antony I wouldn't mind getting another crack to be honest, but don't mind if he's sold either and his performances in Spain will have boosted his value. It's well over a million in wages saved when they leave though. Alvaro Carreras looks likely to sign for Madrid as well, and we've put a huge sell-on clause in the contract when he was sold to Benfica. Should be another decent uplift there,

At risk of running out of cash* Also won't be anywhere near £200m without sales.

Think Cunha is a no brainer and a great signing. But I'm very wary of Delap. I know he's cheap, but he's also young and feel like we need someone with experience to lead the line. The pressure to be the main man crippled Hojlund this year.

Especially when they don't exist.

It's Man United mate.

If we don't sell anyone, aye.

Everton win 1-12. Chelsea win 1-0. Up steps Rasmus Hojlund with a brace to sink Villa. Newcastle qualify for the Champions League. The Geordie's rejoice. "Rasmus! Rasmus! Rasmus!"

Amorim and Ten Hag alone have won the same amount of major trophies as Newcastle have in 133 years tbf.

Worried.

Worried about Wednesday mate. We're in our fifth final in five years. I don't need to jump ship for glory.

Not liking this trend of teams winning their first trophies in decades like.

Did you just say Callum Wilson is better than Andy Cole? Just for clarity.

What about Solskjaer?

I guarantee you that if we win the final, we'll beat Villa.

Can only imagine how frustrating it was for you lot watching us pass around the back in the 98th minute.

Get ready for the subs.

Guys, think how happy I'd be if we won.

If you finish 2nd it's Howe for me like, otherwise Slot.
