Much more suited to being a fullback than a wingback, if he's suited to anything now.

Good job we didn't get drawn against the mackems, they would have knocked us out.

What made 74 so terrible was that the mackems had won the year before and the semi final was the best game I ever attended.

I don't think people are forgetting what Rafa did or the hope that he brought, with the idea that he would be able to improve the club. There's no logic to it but Bruce continues to get way more point than anyone expected, I thought we would get relegated with what is undoubtedly a worse squad than last season.

Hayden publicly looked to leave the club throughout the entire season and the summer before. Not a peep out of him since Bruce came in.

The team might be shit, the style of play diabolical, the luck definitely with us, but it's undeniable that the players refuse to give up and keep fighting to the end. For Bruce. Go figure that.

Some of them definitely are, Clark, Shelvey, Hayden for starters, the British plodders.

We have a worse team than last season and a worse manager than last season and yet results are undeniably better and the players appear to be more motivated playing for Bruce than they were for Rafa. No logic to it, but it is what it is, and a lot of us are going to have to suck it up.

I was hoping we would go down, Ashley for appointing Bruce and showing no real ambition to improve would certainly have deserved it. Looks like we will stay up, so we can have another season with the fat oaf stinking up the premier league. Burnley are more entertaining to watch.

I don't think there is very much proof that Lookman is a good player. Couldn't get a game at Everton and now cant get a game in Germany.

Newcastle 0-2 Leicester The Newcastle player with the most successful passes in this game? Jonjo Shelvey with 17. And he went off at half-time. Christian Fuchs has 112.

Individually none of our defenders are very good, despite plenty of people on here thinking they are, Rafa made them into a good unit but that's all unravelling now.

it's also easier to hate Mike Ashley's club as we are so fucking shit.

it's sad as fuck to want Mike Ashley's club to do anything but crash and burn

Ridiculous decision by VAR, football is fucked if that's offside.

Well apart from Mbappe and that's just one at the same club. Plenty out there are more effective than Neymar.

What I like most about Guendouzi is that as soon as he gets the ball he drives forward before passing, rather than going sideways and looking for the easy pass.

We had 52% possession which must be a record and no shots on target. Really hope we get relegated and sink like a stone until Ashley sells.

That's the spirit

Only getting a point and not three like last season is unacceptable. We would beat this lot under Rafa. Bruce is taking the team backwards, 2 points lost from the same fixture. Maybe Rafa-Ball wasn’t so bad after-all and he should have been given more of a chance?! I don’t remember you being a big fan of Rafa-Ball, me neither.

I'm not Shelvey's biggest fan, but great game today.

You watch Almiron play and for sure there's some ability and he looks like he should be a good player. And then there's nothing, no end product at all. At any other club he's been left out a long time ago. Same actually for ASM and Joelinton. If the defenders hadn't been scoring some goals we'd be bottom and cut off already.

That is definitely a post stopper

Pepe 3 ASM 0 in terms of goals scored
