  1. Everytime I've seen Ortega play his distribution is as good as any goalkeeper I've ever seen.
  2. Dembele up against Dan Burn should be interesting.
  3. Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles, 29, is a target for Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab. The English defender has slipped down the pecking order at St James' Park and could be tempted by the offer of first-team football. (TEAMtalk)
  4. If we give the ball away in transition against PSG it will get ugly very quickly. Lethal on the break.
  5. In Eddie's defense would any of our squad start for Arsenal , Man City or Liverpool? Doubt it.
  6. On paper I think this is our best starting 11, whether it will work not so sure. One of the things I didn't understand about pre season was that Bruno and Tonali were virtually never on the pitch together and watching them play together so far this season it shows.
  7. Everybody keeps repeating this. How many of the players who started yesterday are not away on international duty? Pope, Burn, Targett, Gordon I think.
  8. Surely if we really wanted to play it out from the back we'd have bought a goalkeeper who could do that.
  9. Need to find a way to get both Isak and Wilson on the pitch together.
  10. I know it's a bit of hindsight looking at the Brighton shambles but I thought and think it's at best a 5/10 window. We didn't buy a GK who can kick the ball, a CB with pace, a new starting LB, a defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder or a better RW. Tonali has replaced Longstaff that's it so far. Gordon who can't finish is keeping Barnes who can out of the starting 11. When we play the so called weaker teams we'll know whether this is a blip or a crisis.
  11. It's hard to tell what has happened with the players. Maybe they've thought fuck this running around like madmen shit, forget this intensity is our identity stuff, we want to stroll around and play football. Something is really wrong.
  12. Brighton have a very clear way of playing and stick to it for better or worse. We have lost our identity and apparently regressed since last season. Only 1-0 so there is hope.
  13. Think WHU are probably going to have a pretty good season. They have a nice balance in midfield, Alvarez DM, Ward - Prowse as the all rounder and Paqueta more the attacking one.
  14. I imagine both clubs will pick second choice sides, most teams have around 8 or 9 changes from the league games. Rather play them early on than in the final.
  15. What’s your point? You’ve never changed your opinion about something, never engaged in any critical thought, never had an opinion that evolved over time? When Howe wins something with us he can be called great, at the moment he’s looking good but as a team and a club there are still big steps to make.
  16. He is a good manager but whether he's the great manager we are going to need we will have to wait and see.
  17. I think Bruno, Tonali and Anderson is the best balanced midfield we have, hopefully it get's tried out soon.
  18. Best game he's had so far. I'd like to see him replace Almiron but not sure how effective he would be playing on the right.
  19. Nunez is like Isak in that he looks for space from out wide and he has serious pace. Isak is a much better dribbler. Neither are CF's
  20. I don't disagree that we would be a better team with Maddison and Diaby in it.
  21. Now this is the truth. Isak is a fine player but he is not a CF and never will be. He's a Nunez using his pace and dribbling from wide to get behind the defense. Howe needs to find a way to play Isak and Wilson together and not by playing Isak as a Left Winger.
  22. I don't think he's an elite manager and I don't think he'll take us to where the supporters and owner's want us to be. Just my opinion. Hope I'm wrong.
