Shays Given Tim Flowers

Both of those goals show how class he is.

If only there was some sort of in game metric to judge strikers by.

Feel spurs might have won something with Bale.

Chelsea doubtless spiked him so they could cancel his contract.

Watched the game yesterday. We looked like a decent footballing outfit.

When he mercilessly wiped out Bowen away at West Ham a couple of years ago is one of my favourite NUFC moments.

A lot of tall players don’t seem great at headers. Think it’s because they win them too easily.

Harsh on 54, that.

When he first came in he had such an immediate impact for the side.

At least we don’t have many games this month.

Nevermind the club that tries banner. This post does not represent the majority.

Motherwell (who he came from via Walsall) have their top earner on less than 5 per week.

No way is Gillespie on 500k per year

@Froggy hack your account?

Please don’t talk down to me babe.

Newcastle United.

I’ve long said CF is the scum of the earth and the power rankings support this.

If it was that easy to do and win we’d have done it.

I don’t know, seems like an encouragement to have a bit of perspective to me.

We are wedded to a system that was at it's most effective when we have less of the ball. We have tried to have more of the ball this year but do less with it (think we are having fewer touches in opposistion boxes than last year but with more possession). Our formation is at it's most potent when we have less of the ball. Teams have realised this and are quite happy for themselves to have less of the ball. I think the answer to this is to have Bruno higher up the pitch (as against liverpool). He can supply the ball to Isak quickly who likes to receive the ball a few yards in front of the centre backs. This can then open up space for wide players to cut into. I actually think Longstaff Tonali and Bruno would be fine as a 3.

It’s tough to play bits of games. Particularly in adverse conditions. Felt for Howe with the way we conceded. That’s not really a managers job to make sure players don’t let the ball bounce, don’t pass to the opposition striker.

It was somewhat maddening to watch a team perform very well and then be rotated to a loss.

Which there does appear to be an attempt towards.

I genuinely feel Burn has been playing to his best ability close to constantly this season.
