Probablies be because he's more comfortable on the left using his dominant foot when defending with wingers nowadays rarely going to the byline.

Barnes aswell.

Very intelligent footballer with his flicks and build up play totally different from what gordon offers. Glad we have them both at our disposal.

Watching isaks goal looks like it's going close to the keeper if not for the mbuemo deflection 😂 I'll take that.

We done this in the fulham game scoring late on hopefully we learn from that experience and don't switch off.

Back four pope tonali Barnes where great isak Bruno Murphy well under par. Hopefully they play a bit better second half. My 2-1 is still on.

Is shahar a winger? Knowing me knowing you "shahar"

2-1 to the toon wissa for them Barnes and joelinton for us.

I've never known a manager come to a club like Bruce did and slag of benitez nearly every week it seemed. Whether it was formations or fans liking the fella he loved a good twist. 😂

The problem with these talented British players is they cost a fortune to get them from there clubs. Look at lad southampton we can't be howking out that type of money yet.

I thought he was waiting on a contract extension that Ashley had no intention of giving him. He wanted us to buy rondon but Ashley thought differently so was at a standstill where he wanted to stay but wanted assurances of funding. Ashley couldn't care less so benitez left. Then all you get is the he went for money brigade 😂

All depends how much we have to spend, if we can bring a few free transfers in like walker Peters for both fullback positions, dcl maybes as backup striker he's free I think. Then we could spend on centre half and right wing a decent amount I'd take the celtic right winger.

I liked our football under benitez we never looked disorganised our defenders could actually defend and I never worried when we used to see out games. Still our best tactician if you ask me out of all the managers we've had. Soon as we started adding a bit of quality too the side you could see the improvement. Just wish he got the 100m to spend not the pigeon lady.

Missing Joe Harvey off the list for Mount rushmore.

Canny watch, mind you gibbo must be on the drink his nose is bluer than fergies was. 😂

Don't wanna rush him back maybe slowly introduce him into matches let Barnes have his time to shine.

Just hoping he has shook the sloppy performances off for this run in. Cup final aside.

Is he?

I agree but we do play well against them so I'm hoping a point will do.

Our next six fixtures are looking well winnable could have top five sewn up if we take majority of the points. Brentford (h) Leicester (a) Man utd (h) Palace (h) Villa (a) Ipswich (h) You could say its in our hands But after that we have brighton and arsenal away so let's get it done before then lads. 😂

Then eddie lovely fella wants and strives for us to be the best can get extra out of the majority of the squad we didn't think they had in them, has actually won us something by thumping arsenal and Liverpool on the way. So he has to be top of the pyramid now with the other three neck a neck.

He's high up in my managers I loved at the toon. because he was a winner and wanted our club to be the best calling out Ashley and he was a lovely fella aswell. Bobby was and is a class manager aswell a lovely fella always made me smile with his witt. Keegan a lovely fella full of charisma maybe not an elite manager but could narf pick a player. Plus we played some extraordinary stuff.

We've loaned him out twice and he's getting no game time whatsoever has probably crippled his confidence the poor sod. Now he's playing and doing well it could be a better option keeping him in with our players and making sure he gets games at whatever level.

All this loan him out craic makes me laugh. keep him here he's finally playing football and doing well rather that then send him somewhere where they don't use him again. The club may look at him and think we could use him in the squad next season.

More than likely but you know what chelsea are like.
