To be honest, I felt that was deserved that loss. We looked clueless, a bit of Bruce crept back in to quite a few of the players mentality, perhaps with Eddie not being around the training ground all week. We must buy solid fullbacks in January, the level of cover ASM struggled to provide to aging midfield come wingback Ritchie, was eye watering for Arsenal, Saka had a field day with Tomiyasu. Equally on the other flank, failing with Fraser, Tavares having the freedom of the Emirates. In reality we have used three wingers as wingbacks for far to long now, its desperate, and it needs sorting asap.

Why have I not been given it? Its because Aubameyang over 1.5 SOT not 0.5 My fault. Needed 2 or more ?

Where? The only real shot hit the upright, I'd like to dispute it if there's good evidence of a shot I've missed.

Fullbacks are a massive issue.

Useless fucker Aubameyang cant even get a shot on target before being subbed, bet sunk??

The ASM/Ritchie defensive partnership is an absolute shambles. ASM isn't really in the game at all on the left, I'd consider switching him to the right to cause Tavares problems and give Tavares something to think about, considering Tavares is having so much freedom.

I'm seeing it as an alternating formation, where if switched Krafth will go to RB Ritchie LB in a four and Fraser going right mid, pushing Joelinton up with Wilson. Theres a few ways you can switch playing like this, Howe is smart.

Aubameyang SOT/Over 4 Corners/Home win. 3/1 Sounds easy money

It's so they can alternate during the game if needed. Going to a back four.

365 have Aubameyang 1.5 sot no limit

Thing with that is, Wraith would find a way to sue, for slander or something.

Most definitely will be challenged.

Best thing about Tindall's presser, the amount of times he had to use the "I can only speak of my own covid experience and how my kids had covid" literally every scumbag reporter trying to trip him up on the 10 day isolation. It was tedious and he was like a broken record, but I actually lol'd on the fourth time it was asked and he regurgitated it once more.

Could you imagine in Alan Partridge style, Tindall "Yeah we totally agree with the fans, Karl is a total cunt and were dropping him" Some right meat heads among our fans.

Zinchenco and Trippier would be levels above what we have. I had to explain similar to this to a friend. He thinks Tarkowski is a good buy? Although he could be, your actually buying from a club that is either on a par with you or below you slightly in Burnley, I went on to say I personally don't even think Tarkowski is Burnley's best centre back, I think Mee is better. We totally need to be targeting players at bigger clubs than Burnley, FFS the Ashley years are over.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-every-newcastle-united-fan-22270710.amp In the new era, though, fans could feel differently about proposals to overturn a system which, newly minted with Saudi cash, they might actually prosper in. For a start, the proposal for a regulator to limit owner investment which would "destabilise the long-term sustainability of the wider league in which it competes" might have them nervous in Riyadh. Although PIF's business plan has never been to inject hundreds of millions into player transfers and wages, there is real potential to cause headaches for the new owners. And then there is the thorny issue of the new-look owners and directors tests - which will have to be passed every three years under new proposals - which include clauses which even Crouch herself admits would have "stressed" the takeover. I suppose this probably means for future takeovers? but it's not clear, and I don't know anyone who's read the entire report.

Unsure on what grounds? But Tracey Crouch was reported as saying Nufc would have struggled if the takeover would have happened after any changes. Tbf it was the Chronicle, but they used quotes?

Seems some are reporting, owner and director tests to be taken every three years. Meaning it could become challenging for our owners?

Quite like this.

Totally agree with this. Fullback situation has been awful for ages,the last pair that complimented each other really well was Jonas and José Enrique. Ritchie and ASM confuse each other. We dont have any good fullbacks at the club that could do a job going forward and getting back. Heard shouts about Trippier, he'd be a massive improvement on what we have.

January will be huge for us, I've just been texting a pal, saying how we seriously need to secure a DOF with good contacts, and focus on the loan market as its risk free, target those players at better clubs out of favour. Target players at the end of their deals also. He was saying players might not come because of our position, but really its risk free for them, if it's a loan and they're not playing for their current sides, it's not really an issue. We could easily match their wages, and even pay a loan fee if needed. I think it's our best bet out of trouble.

I'll bet you now, Shearer doesn't see that chance for Joelinton like you're saying later on motd. He'll likely say he needs to be burying it, or he didn't need the touch. ASM is putting him through, Joelinton knows what's happening because he made the run, he just got it wrong, ie: as you say 'harshly' calling it a Brainfart, he was good though especially in the first half. I'm still not convinced 3pts was lost because of Darlow, but I agree he was poor, and does need dropping.

You cant pin that result on Darlow. He admittedly wasn't great, I agree. I think we could all see that. But other players, other errors equally played a part in us not getting it right at both ends.

His leg gave way, but you're also indicating he should have shot first time? Which is it.... Ok composure, that's it. Bottom line, I was replying to Happinesstan, and he was indicating the blame lied with one person? I felt there were a number of scenarios what lead to us not quite getting 3pts. In truth if were all honest, defensively we were very poor. The attacking was better.

Not at all at this level. Why? Because Joelinton had a good game, yes he did. But he should be taking that on. He ballsed up. Btw I'm not sticking up for Darlow either.
