I've said this before but having Schar and Botman (and Guehi hopefully) will make a huge difference to us. Ball playing centre backs who can bring the ball out and pick a quality pass makes such a difference. Burn and Krafth just can't and won't do it. They tend to go sideways or just want rid of it upfield to anywhere. Really affects our game.

So happy for Tonali tonight. Looked every inch an Italian International midfielder. Can't wait to see him get better and better over the coming weeks and months.

Excellent tonight. Would deffo rotate him and Gordon on the wings throught games. No way Murphy or Miggy should be starting ahead of him.

Couldn't watch pens like. Took the dogs out! Brilliant to see us through. Roll on Man City away in the draw.

Its a huge issue for us at the minute having 2 centre backs who just cannot bring the ball out or pick a pass. Pay the money I agree.

So much to be concerned about from all 3 of our games so far. We're miles off it.

We simply don't control games at all. We're always chasing the ball. It's very concerning like as it's been like this for ages now. Will having 2 ball playing centre backs make a difference?

I've never wished someone would fall down the stairs before. Until now.

Edging all the way to the wire I heard...

I love "keeping tabs on" personally.

The 4th one, yes.

I'm not as confident after him starting tonight. Hope I'm wrong obviously.

So still got 7 years then...

You still think we'll get Guehi even after he plays tonight?

Great watch that. Can't wait to see him back tomorrow. That 1st goal he scores at St James' Park will be immense!

Hilarious

"He had that look of a player who might be involved" Wtf does that look like??

On the bench?

That's the crack from skysports news. We'll see when team news is out in an hour and a half...

Sorry I'm as optimistic as they come but if he plays tonight, there's no way he signs for us.

You can point this out as much as you like mate, people still take everything Eddie says in press conferences as the total truth.

If play him tonight, it's not happening.

Pardon me for not getting excited at this point.
