More likely that we sign Victor Anichebe

Var TV used for first time in palace vs derby match.

I still thought he got it wrong! Huddlestone pushes him over. Kicks him on the ground then when Mijolevic kicks him back he gets sent off. Plus he hardly touched him

It all seemed staged too that its the oliver the golden child of refs thats the first to do it.  Or am i being cynical

A guy rings up to talk abour Newcastle and Robbie Savage talks about himself for four minutes  Top journalism ?

Predictable

Zero mobility in the team now

Already started panicking

Better from joe

Referee looks like a nonce

Atsu has been on fire. Wish he showed this much confidence in the Premier.

Makes putting Krath on at LWB vs leicester look an even stupider decision

Thats some fringe

Did VAR not check that Noble dive?

Yes and still unbelievably gave the Pen

Worst 1 v 1 I’ve ever seen

 

Think I gave up on the guy after that

 

I literally felt something inside me die.

 

I like him and think in a more professional setup and club he has a lot of tools that can be refined and developed into a quality player.

 

It will never happen here though. He will likely become a source of ridicule and will leave a broken man.

Or he could go on to have a career like Jon Dahl Tomasson

He isnt a human person never mind a football person

Leicester's main tactic in this match was to have Kelechi and Ayoze press very high up the pitch. Playing a long, slow ball across the entirety of the penalty box when there are two quick forwards aggressively pressing all match long is suicidal play. It does not matter if you are Barcelona, the pass is crazy in that situation. Look at the position of the players. Lejeune has made a 30+ yard pass with both forwards turned in his direction immediately ready to chase. The best possible result is Schar having to clear or play it to the keeper as Perez will be harrying him.

When leicesters front players pressed their whole team pushed up the pitch.  Which meant they won more second balls

When our front two or three pressed the rest of the team retreated to our 18 yard box creating massive gaps

Bruce is worse than shit

Made some great tackles at full back. What a waste

Bruce has the front three pressing the rest defenf deep.  Massive gaps between the two and teans just play thtough us.  Its do blatantly obvious yet fat head cant see anything other than fray bentos pies

Felt sorry for muto today too

Playing him in all the games was just piss poor management

While Dubravka, Schar & Longstaff seem to be getting the brunt of it tonight...Gayle once again non-existent and missing a chance he has to be taking.

With him in the team it's like having ten men. After 20 mins I thought bruce had took him off and forgot to put a replacement on

If he was going to rest anyone it should have been almiron (who covers the most ground) especially with maximum injured.  Be interesting to see if he risks Lejeune playing all Christmas too

This 5 3 2 doesnt work.  Shelvey looked crap in it at the start of the season and Longstaff did today.  You end up either getting murdered out wide or the 1 in midfield gets over ran

I hope paul dummet is slightly injured for 5 mnth.

Sorry..

Agree

Benitez is similar to Robson.  Bobby looked at the league and identified pace as the difference.  We had it in abundance awith the likes of robert, Bellamy, dyer and domi add to that the fitness of lee, spped and jenas we ran the legs of teams which made up for an average defence

Benitez knew being solid would give us a chance.  I never understood why Joselu started the first ten games or so but how he protected players so he nearly always had his first choice out in the run in was impressive. Which kept us up. Imagine Joselu playing the last ten ?

Although glad he is doing well in Spain seems a nice guy

I think he has made the difference at times especially when Carroll is on the pitch. Same wavelength

Must play almiron on the left now. Either joelinton or atsu right. Not much choice after putting 17 defenders in a 25 man squad

I think he will play longstaff and go back to formation that didn't work at the start of the season

A shot on target leading to a tap-in is an assist in every sense of the word.

A million percent agree

Dummett ???

Save!
