Someone at work saying they played last night, and also struggling, with covid across the group. Not that I want them to be sick or anything, but it might help us get a result hopefully, if they're short in the first team department.

Yeah, my fonts are a bit lacking. ??? Tried one without names, a comment on the first page, someone said, they prefer them without names, etc.

For mobile use ??

Weird one, but I see Forrest Griffin from UFC

The Ben Mee, and Tarkowski link I feel could be a masterstroke, one they already know each other, but the biggest one of all, it's a shrewd move, if we pulled it off it leaves Burnley missing their two first choice Centre Backs. If that left them scrambling around in January to replace them, it could prove hard, it could potentially relegate them. Genius, although they're not my ideal defenders, I welcome the idea of it unsettling Burnley.

Just bare in mind, there's a fair bit of image pinching going on here. For a bit of fun, and being creative, I'm fine, but copyright, and it can't be used. You'll obviously know this though.??

Yeah dont mess with my username, or you'll be banning me for a week again

DM me, and explain more, I'm just doing it for a bit of fun, just created this ASM in Morrisons car park, while waiting for the misses

I'm not sure how I'd go about that, but feel free to recommend, if you wished. ??

Hey guys, I've been having a little go at making Nufc Art. I'd like to use this thread to share, and for anyone else to upload anything creative they have made, or have come across, Nufc related. Also, I don't really want to create work for myself, but, if you have a particular favourite Nufc player, moment, or anything related in image, post them here and I'll have a go at creating something for you. Thanks, and please get involved??

Feel like with whatever Eddie has done with Joelinton, he could do with working with ASM. Must be challenging to tell a player with everything he needs to improve, but if ASM worked on his shooting and finishing he could be on hell of a player. I also think his knowledge of when to release the ball needs a bit of work, but I think that's an issue across the whole side, there's a bit of a lacking from a few of term, they work the ball into opposing boxes, and then fail, with either spending too long,wrong ball, or panic and it goes from a dangerous opportunity backwards towards our own keeper again, and then the attack needs to be built up again!

Let's just hope that whatever happens in January, isn't in the same way we used to operate. The dragging it on and on, and then nothing happening, then scrambling around on the final day for anything available. We must get things done early and quickly.

Nice one. So pleased for Howe, he's been desperate to get that win, he deserves it, and you could see how really pleased he was, and he went straight out to the lads to tell them, Pat's on the backs for all, as that was such a difficult game, Burnley are such a difficult side, they're beatable, but it's the way they go about it, I'd really, really, like to see the back of Burnley, they're just a side I can't stand. Credit to the way they go about their way, but for me, they're a perfect club for someone like Mike Ashley to own, cheap ass grinders. Hopefully we stay up and they go down.

I thought this is possible, same with Joe Willock, both those players were the form players at that time, done nothing since. Tbf Lingard hardly plays.

Really? I didn't feel they were too ridiculous, I wasn't aiming for a fantasy team, Mbappe etc? Help me figure who's a no chance, I feel Dier, Spurs wouldn't negotiate with us, but he might want out, Raphina/Phillip's Leeds won't be able to stop bids for these two, I'm guessing though, you'd be right in thinking they'd choose a Liverpool or Man Utd over us, Would Raphina be able to keep out Salah though? It's far fetched a tad at present, two years time, and if we resist the drop this season, I could see it. Many have been linked with us, I just threw a few in that might work in a "if you were a manager" style. Properly went all out fm 2005 ? ??

Apologies before hand for this post, I completely nerded?out on this, I'm not even totally sure if it will make any sense, it does to me in my head, but getting it down in a post or typing seems difficult. Hopefully nobody takes the piss to much, I quite enjoyed thinking about this. It is a bit of a TLDR;??? The modern day front three seems to be based around pace, I think watching football since before the premier league began, times have changed dramatically. You could never rely on a striker like Ian Rush or Shearer, I think they'd still get you goals in the modern game, but nothing like in a front three of the Liverpool and Man City styles. What I mean by that is, the modern front three all chip in with goals, from all areas, more coming from the inside FWD area, in Salah and Mane for example. Shearer liked to be the main man, the target man, I'm not sure he'd cut it in wider positions. If I was basing it on Newcastle's current team with what I'd do personally, a lot would need to change, not so much in the formation, but all around personnel and strategy. I could live with Wilson as the point man, of a front three, but I'd have my doubts about his fitness, so baring that in mind, I would need someone equally as good, or better, to step into his boots, and challenge him to be the top guy. Because I'm basing this on Newcastle currently, I'd have to consider what I think would be available to improve us, I dont want to do a dream team/fantasy team, but I'll use what I'd consider we could challenge for wages wise. If at all possible, although Liverpool have been tipped to sign Raphina, he would become the first replacement at RW. We would be looking at a front three of (ASM/Wilson/Raphina) that type would fit my philosophy. I'd consider players with skill and Pace, I did really enjoy watching Jeremy Doku in the Euros for Belgium, I'm unsure of his attempts on goal though, I'd require the wide inside forwards to be attempting regular goal attempts. The idea of this would require ASM to change his game a bit, although he's a fantastic skillful player he lacks the dynamic style Raphina brings on the opposite side, when Raphina cuts inside, he has a better shot, and he can finish. I'd be looking at ASM and Raphina to create opportunities for Wilson from parried shots, ASM and Raphina obviously looking for Wilson if he's available, but otherwise forcing the keeper to stop shots from either side while cutting in and taking their attempts to shoot, (if they didn't score) the other two depending on the side of the attack, anticipating the pass, or the shot, and finishing. The pace of both Raphina and ASM, would also pin opposing fullbacks, back in their half, but this will equally require attacking pacey fullbacks in our set up, again here, think Liverpool and Man City, even Chelsea a bit here, Robertson, and TAA help their players ahead of them, by supporting them to pin back opposing defences, the other thing they posses is the ability to assist the FWDs, but also, they're extremely fit, and quick, but they also get back and cover. This is in my opinion, our current biggest problem, the fullbacks at Newcastle are atrocious. We sadly allowed two very talented fullbacks to leave, in James Tavanier & Kevin Mbabu, since then though, we have taken one good fullback on loan, and it made a huge difference, Jetro Willems was very good for ASM, he gave him that support I speak of above, but equally in the time Jetro was here, he did get a goal or two and supported the attack, and was fairly good at defending. Willems wouldn't be the player I'd go for now, but it's an example of how we are so badly lacking in the fullback areas, I'd be looking at perhaps experience in someone like Trippier/Zinchchenko, and also a guy that's going to grow, Livramento or Lamptey. I would want these two positions to be the hardest workers on the pitch, they're going to need to be extremely fit, because they'll be covering the most ground over 90 minutes, supporting the attack, pinning back opposing teams width, but strong enough, fit enough, fast enough, and the ability to defend. Just off the front three would be a creative CM/AM someone who could be the bottom part of the diamond in the front three/four, they can link the attack, but also drop in and support the midfield, would predominantly need to be more creative, but posses the ability to read danger, here I'd be looking for a future Cabaye type, again I'm not sure we possess a player of the required ability to play in between the striker and midfield, so it would need to be a new signing, the type I'm not sure, I don't want to say, Firmino, because I don't think Firmino has the discipline I'd be needing for the dropping back to support, I'm actually thinking I'd be wanting a fullback type mentality here again, so a creative player, but fit enough to get up and down. My ideal person here would have been (David Silva) good at everything, mainly creative, but hard working and good at winning the ball back. Very difficult to identify a player of that quality in our position at the minute, I do see someone like Conor Gallagher or Christian Eriksen, fitting well with how I'd want the attack/midfield link to operate, I'd suppose theres not going to be another David Silva for a good while. Moving onto the middle two, (by the way if it's not obvious already this is a 4-2-1-3) the two will need to be predominantly defensive, one of the brick wall,ball winning, loves getting stuck in mentality, the other good ball winner, but fast distributor, good mental game, decent passer, instantly think of, Kalvin Phillips, and Jordan Henderson, or Ngolo Kante, but I'm going to think of players, possibly, likely to come here, because those players definitely will not. I do think though a cheeky bid for Kalvin Phillips wouldn't be out of the question, he cant be on mega bucks at Leeds, and I think although not right now, we are/will be more ambitious than Leeds, and more attractive as a club and City. That would leave me looking at the defensive type, Boubacar Kamara has been linked/mentioned, is he good enough? I honestly dont know, he can play CB and also CDM, but,Is he the Jack Russell type I'm looking for in my approach, I would be wanting someone who compliments the defence and the supporting midfielder he partners, I'd guess the likes of Leander Dendonker, or Eric Dier, would be a good fit, but neither would be the Kante/Kimmich that would be the ideal player I'd really want in front of the back four. On to the CB's and Goalkeeper. Schar and Fernandes I do rate to be honest, but long term they would need replacements. And my style would require a taller, no nonsense, mentally aware type, organised, probably a captain (massively important to be the communicator and drive the team on), and a slightly shorter more mobile CB. I cant think of examples of the top of my head, I know we have been linked with Conor Coady, I don't know enough, but I know from what I've read, he has very good leadership skills, many of the England set up have commented on his leadership qualities, and he talks himself about being vocal on the pitch, I think this is very important. In Goalkeeping, it would be very difficult to identify who is a possible addition, I know what I'd want from a keeper, mental awareness, and super quick distribution, get that ball back out as quickly as possible, no hanging around, feed those pacey fullbacks and wide players I speak of. I dont have a particular keeper i can think of, but the qualities would be what I just mentioned, ball out quick, someone with safe hands, not afraid to come for difficult situations, and just quick with decisions that can create a counter attack, or compliment the side with tidy distribution. So 4-2-1-3 Here's a look at the formation and style. Below is the current team set up how I'd want them, but they don't possess the qualities required to implement the plan. The next team, with a few possible future signings, I believe could implement, a style,with very attacking wide play, from the fullbacks and wingers, and a strong defensive midfield, that can link with the creative attack. Red: player runs/positions/cover/Attacking movement/Defensive movement. Blue: passing/assists/creation. Yellow: Shots/Attempts The 4-2-1-3 would be based around the way Liverpool play, over Man City, I feel Man City's Style would be incredibly difficult to emulate. ??

Targeting players sat on the bench for top sides on loan until the end of the season. Not difficult. Lingard for example, he's only here on loan then returns to Man Utd and becomes a free agent, but equally he could agree a pre contract now with any club,but that would mean he'd still be stuck at Man Utd on the bench until next season, unless he actually transfers in January, or like I said sign on loan with us, then he becomes a free agent and can demand a large signing on fee wherever he goes next, you never know, a successful loan with us could result in him wanting to stay. Same with many players at top clubs not getting game time, its absolutely no loss to them signing on short term loan, or sat warming the bench at their present clubs. ( some need game time, and gain some form, to be selected for their national sides) (World cup around the corner) They'll get nowhere, sat doing nothing? I'd rather play for half a season, and even in a relegation fight, it gives you something to fight for,even though it's not your particular club, you're seen as helping a side stay in the league. I do also believe we will make a statement signing, call me mental, but Dembele from Barca, Will be a merc type signing, because it will be cash incentivised. But Barca are broke, Aguero now retired, they'd welcome the cash to sign a new striker. Think a DOF is needed imminently, it will help if it's an established person, someone who already will know the pool of players available in January. Then it's just agent work. Too many people have hit the panic button already. ??

Totally agree with Shearer. It is, all individual errors. Could be sorted if those that make mistakes sort their shit out.

Truly awful. Ciaran Clark, you really are, a total cunt.

I'm dead?

Let Dubs off now,?

Panic now.
