Bruno a passenger in this game for the most part

Gordon’s been very good on the ball

Chilwell trying to play himself out the squad?

Dunno like. I’d say Bruno is absolutely a Pep player. Extremely good at receiving the ball, shielding it, picking a pass. Technically he’s easily good enough

Think it’s mainly down to him being another production line midfielder who has athleticism and strength but isn’t particularly creative or quality on the ball. His shielding is very good and he does a lot of great work off the ball but he’s not amazing in possession

No one in their right mind should give a shit about what we wear. Most of the people complaining probably don’t even like football. I couldn’t care less about England outside of the major tournaments although I will change my tune if we start getting more of our players in the squad

I don’t know too much about the team but is Barker the one who played forward / wide left? Had a lovely ability with carrying the ball

It’s a quality argument for the Toon though. We’re no longer a side that’s going to be overlooked when it comes to players getting caps

Fuck’s sake. I mean, that’s amazing for him but the poor lad’s body

I don’t even like trophies me

Hashtag are a weird side, look totally inept at football for large periods then produce an occasional quality bit of play

Will be a complete joke if we lose this 2-1

That was appalling

Love how old school some elements are, like those physios running on and then being told to sack it off

Starting to look ropey here, no control of the ball

What kind of fat ? bills would we get if we were to win?

Bloody hell

Should be ahead here

Completely agree that he’ll definitely commit a yellow card foul, probably multiple times, just depends whether the ref gives it, given it’s a friendly

We’re leagues ahead of them in terms of ability on the ball and moving it forward

Makes for a total farce of these sustainability rules, they’re exactly the type of owners who have precisely zero interest other than making profit. I know all owners want profit but some are actually invested in attempting to achieve something else too

I remember Howe praising him at the end of 21/22 season or pre 22/23 but his Scottish loan spell was hampered by injuries. Doesn’t seem like he’s made much progress sadly

He’s worth well over £100m to us and to anyone really unless we see major deflation caused by all this FFP shite. Would be sickening to see him play for them, absolutely sickening

Ooofff, are you based out in the States anyway?

Ennis-Hill, outrageous
