Looks very slow. Don't see a lot of goals in him. Held the ball up well. Basically we have what we had with Shearer in his final year.

We are 6 points worse off than last season. We've got relegation written all over us.

Gif gold dust

A spirited 0-0 is the best I can foresee.

Disagree. Abolish the loan system and restrict squad and playing staff and subs bench. This would solve it in an instant as player quality would be forcibly spread amongst the league. All these players on loan and on these benches would be plying their trade elsewhere under contract. It's a very simple fix but the turkeys rarely vote for Christmas.

Maybe. He'll shove Mbemba there and bring in Williamson would be my guess.

I can confirm this story is accurate. first bit or second bit? or is it all true. First bit. I'm a friend of a close relative to one of his teammates. Dare say that makes the second part true also.

I can confirm this story is accurate.

Heard he was canny going forward but looked woeful defensively. Anyone care to comment?

This is the f***ing killer. Even at his fattest, most disinterested and greedy HBA would at least get you off your seat once a game. Yep. Both posts sum it up nicely.

Get the team he wants to play against Chelsea out there and try and work out as many kinks as possible before the weekend. This lot need to play together. Totally agree but like UB says they should've done that last round. Already looks like they are "protecting" a few... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-facing-injury-crisis-10111366

Gouffran. To be fair to him, Gouffran at least had a small purple patch where he scored a few goals. I'd go with Amalfitano personally. I'd go CabellAa talking into account of the fee paid - personally I think Carr is part of the problem also and if I was Ashley would clear the entire board and start again but he won't as we all know Gouffran was a AP signing. Cabella looks to be his worst signing as said above due to the outlay and the fact they've not given him a second chance/season. Gouffran repaid his relatively small transfer fee in his first few months at the club. Sadly since he did he's been misused in a number of ill fitting positions.

Considering the turnover of players last couple of seasons could do worse than get them away on a few team building exercises. Could do them a world of good.

No. Awww shiiiiit Although we still might end up with Cabella back.

The derby is going to be like watching this

Enjoyed it but not sure where Tim Vickery comes into the equation?

Don't disagree with you at all. The reason I made the point more towards the fullbacks is we need to stay in games longer and currently we are playing with two defenders with one of them being long past his best.

This.

Not sure if it's been said before in the thread as its one of the few I never enter but I just think he needs to get our two fullbacks to sit and be full backs until the team gets to know each other better. Both charging forward are exposing us badly and they are just taking up space that the midfield and forwards could occupy. Although many see Janmaat's marauding runs one of the few plus points of this season it's actually also the root of some of our problems.
