Dont really understand those willing to write him off. It's very short-sighted. I still think once Lascelles is back Lejeune should still have a look in, I've seen enough to feel once he's completely settled we will see some quality performances from him.

I wouldn't be dropping Ritchie like. He's still one of our few players with genuine quality. He was playing effectively at full back today and whilst he made a few errors it's harsh to judge him too heavily on it imo. The whole team needs to find a bit more confidence and believe that we can attack sides and maintain pressure. When that's the case, Ritchie will begin to flourish again, I'm sure of it. Has plenty of assists in him but also goals, we just need to start getting in better, more advanced positions more regularly.

In my opinion, no. We need his quality on the ball to create more chances, even though he is sloppy at times.

Thought Murphy made a good account of himself again. Went from being shot of confidence to looking like a very brave player. Well done to Gayle for taking his chance, although I would have liked to see him get more involved afterwards, he became very quiet indeed. We were never going to go toe to toe with Chelsea, to get anything out of that game you need a bit of luck and we didn't really create our own today, in which case a few individual errors are always going to cost you. We move on

Looks like we've moved to 3 at the back. Mbemba playing much more centrally it seems.

We can still come away with something here, we just really need to focus more in dangerous positions. I don't believe our defenders are bad, I believe they are switching off/making little mistakes.

Ref being kind to us here

That's an unbelievable save.

We don't look like a team that hasn't won in 5, that's for sure.

Come on Newcastle!

8 starts 4 goals 1 assist this season for Deportivo. Doing well.

What style is that exactly? It probably wont be nailed down because he hasn't nailed it down himself.

Nice

Narrow defeat. 1-0 Chelsea, a centre back to score it.

Brilliant, didn't know that existed. Perhaps the most unique entrance point to a football stadium I've seen.

What did he do? Cba to look it up Sucked off Hazard in full view of the female fourth official. Off with his head. No pun intended.

It's probably the best stadium in the league from a strictly design point of view, it's executed beautifully, particularly the facade. However, football stadiums are cherished for the spirit contained within, not their exterior. A stadium could look brilliant but have a bad atmosphere, if a stadium has a beautiful atmosphere, it is looked upon and remembered as beautiful.

What did he do? Cba to look it up

Agreed, trusting someone is one thing, trusting him to do fuck all for 90 minutes is another.

There's not really an argument of whose better between Joselu & Mitrovic is there? Everything from performances, reputation, age, mentality of the player, effectiveness in this league & transfer fee point to Mitrovic. Mitrovic on an off day still offers you something, Joselu on on off day is very quiet and unimposing. Rafa can probably communicate his ideas better to Joselu and that's about it. IMO, Joselu is fine as a 3rd option, but that's all he should be.

I wonder when the Sun will be viewed in a similar bracket as those gossip mags like OK and Chat? It's the same just less glossy.

He has aye, haven't you heard? Fan buyout lead by the True Geordie & Lee Lawler.

Tuesday was probably about the least glamorous a game you will get this season mind, always less quality for those. This weekend will be easy, for example.

Absolute class reaction from Clement "f***ing hell Renato!' Mikky Merino is twice the player of this lad in this league, who'd have thought it. Thought Sanchez was going to be quality and hadn't heard of Merino at all.

It has mainly been in the absence of Lascelles now I think of it, you raise a good point.
