Not the worst idea tbf, although you fear putting him on the wing - so close to the touchline, that he'd set off on a run down the flank, continue through the terraces and off down south.

The same people who think Ashley is doing a good job I presume? No doubt.

Maybe he's so passed it that he's actually in orbit - otherwise, definitely not, he's not been canny poor for a few years now. Wish we got to see him here around 2011/12 though, big fan of his. It's the law that if you mention Berbatov you have to call him a languid player. Noted

About the 20th 'expert' I've seen predict us to go down. These people are either totally clueless or hold Newcastle in unreasonably low regard. I'm actually veering towards the former.

I don't have much faith in Manquillo's ability, but willing to air on the side of optimism and hope he has improved with a year in & around the team under Benitez & his staff.

Relegation 6 pointer imo I hope you're both joking...

But if Messi had scored that...

I picked a pretty bad team if this week is anything to go off, but I was spot on about Benjamin Mendy Will be really important for City this season, made a massive difference to them today.

Really enjoyed her & Aluko's input during the World Cup. Easily more insightful & considered than the majority of the regulars.

Shelvey was also really good defensively in the match, he won more the ball more than any other player on the pitch. He has certainly added to that side of his game in the past 12 months. He was also the man chasing the ball down, as seen in the second half where he was player pressing highest. Some of the comments towards him are bizarre and lazy. He had a great game.

Was a great moment in the first half where he basically rinsed the Spurs team, emerging with the ball from some ludicrously tricky situations. He's my favourite player to watch alongside Shelvey like. Everything he does has intent too, he has all the tricks but uses them with purpose. Substance and not just style, wonderful player.

Think he's doing a fine job on the wing myself, his favoured position is out wide so wouldn't want to disrupt the rhythm & flow to his game.

Yorkie

I wouldn't be so sure tbh. I think there's some promise there, we'll see.

Eventually, once Rafa sees fit, I'd be keen to see this: Ritchie---Perez---Kenedy -----------Muto----------- Sure it's not all that physical, but I can see Perez & Muto interchanging at different points in a game (one leads the line, one drops off). Early days for Muto but he seems a very comfortable footballer which will only benefit the likes of Kenedy & Ritchie as well. Certainly don't see the use in dropping Perez just yet, he was one of our best players in the second half of last season.

I think I'm more interested in seeing both Perez & Muto together, rather than one or the other. I think their movement together could be a real problem for defences. Perez has always made lots of smart runs, pulling defenders out of position, and Muto seems intelligent enough to exploit spaces left.

Jota is a good player like, not at the races today though.

I still think we'll sign him tbh. He'll be about 30m man Closer to 20 I reckon.

Wolves missing a good centre back and a good striker. They will struggle as a result.

Uh-oh. Wolves getting bested by 10 man Everton. Shite at defending, Wolves.

I still think we'll sign him tbh.

If there's no damage or tearing to the ACL, a very quick return can be expected. Few weeks maximum.

Aye, he's a special player Kenedy, perhaps even more than we already know.
