He's literally done the complete opposite to what I said. Burn is undropable. How on earth Krafth, Kelly, and Tonali don't make it, is pretty ridiculous.

Based on what I watched tonight vs Chelsea, I'd go with the same back four and bring in Bruno for Longstaff. The team vs Chelsea tonight looked more organised, and carried a better goal threat. Feel after such a strong showing from Krafth, he deserves to start, and Kelly. Sends a message to those that feel their place in the starting line up is safe each week. (Burn)

Man of the match should go to Joelinton or Krafth, but Krafh edges it for me, he worked his tits off.

Really starting to see what a good player Lewis Hall is, he's been brilliant again, Krafth on the opposite side equally been good.

Nope

Prefer the back four tonight, just feel sometimes Burn needs to be in and out of the side rather than guaranteed to start, also Livramento hasn't really got going this season at RB.

How does he always manage to miss sitters ?

It's so obvious

So bar Moyes who wasn't given a sniff, they've literally all spent similar. From the list who had the most success, Jose?

It'll take a while to sort that mess, ten Hag aside, expect more dysfunction.

Sorry, yeah Unai. Somehow typed Emre that used to play for us

Hope they go after Emery.

The caller went onto congratulate Pardew on doing an amazing job as Newcastle manager, and said I think you'd love to be in charge now. Jesus fucking christ They have to be prank calls

Lately I can't decide whether our fans are really this mental, or this is top trolling. Sell Isak, buy Sinclair Armstrong, Who ?

That's not quite true though is it. I assume you're basing it on the formation he goes with? Eddie Howe works on player patterns within the formation, the patterns of play are changing within the game, for example when Miggy was in the form of his life he was working with Trippier and Bruno, you'll see players swapping roles all the time, but, I think currently its not quite working, perhaps because he's using different personnel and thinks they have different attributes therfore he might try something different, for example Livramento, infact rather than pin it on Livramento, that whole right side, it's not working like it did, people have gone on about predictability, I'd argue that's true, as where I've pointed out the right, its because we do everything down the left, especially if Anthony Gordon is playing. I think Howe needs to balance the side, have equal threat on both wings, and start encouraging fullbacks to work with the wingers, and deliver support in attack. Howe won't deviate to new formations, he'll just keep tweaking the patterns of play, but it's up to the players to get it right in the moments, or Howe needs to change those patterns or revisit those that worked better previously. personally overlapping fullbacks over this stupid inverted shit when we go to a back three.

Come on man, you can't use that comparison

Jesus the comments on this video.

The three in midfield are all basically doing similar on the pitch, it's absolutely pointless. I don't feel like Bruno and Tonali are suited at all, sort of agree with @James saying look at the midfield that got us into Europe, Willock was in the form of his life prior to the injury he got late in that season. I think getting Trippier, Wilson, and Botman back will be huge, and improves the choices from the bench to affect games. Still think Howe has this, but he needs all his players, the current options are limited, plus the loss of Gordon who would have been very useful today.

I'd have Joelinton holding with Tonali, and give Bruno the freedom to be creative.

Been a bit scrappy, Livramento was awful on the first goal, Joelinton fairly sloppy, Hall has been excellent. We seem to take too long on the ball, whereas Chelsea zip around quick creating fast counters.

I was originally here for the Isak topic, see the original post, if you can actually be arsed. Literally never once mentioned our form this season or last, apparently we've been shite for 18 months, and our star players should be looking to move, I couldn't understand that take. Thanks for dragging me back in, to once again explain myself. Read through the to and fro, rather than quote the bits that suit.

They all did the exact same thing with Bruno, and he went nowhere, even with a release clause.
