What? Atsu has been one of/the best players on the pitch.

These are the poorest side we have faced this season. Take Joselu off for Mitrovic or Perez, either would cause them problems. Kind of think Perez would be well suited to the space available here and also Bournemouth losing position in their 3rd often.

What I've taken from that half. Atsu is mint and our most dangerous attacking threat. Lejuene is proper class. Robbie has made some very important saves. The rest need to do better.

That was clearly a foul by Gayle tbf

Atsu is the only player you can trust to use the ball well and get forward. Nobody else offering enough at the moment. Shelvey, Hayden, Gayle, Joselu all with poor moments and touches this half.

We should be bossing this game. Not good enough, they're a very poor side and we're being too sloppy to capitalise.

fucking howay newcastle man

That's a very good save.

Shouldn't be conceding against these today.

From what I've seen here, Bournemouth could quite easily be going down. They look dreadful.

Atsu playing great.

Shit from Yedlin there, needs to sort his passing out.

What's he doing

Level there? Unlucky for Gayle that.

Atsu has developed as a player loads under Rafa like.

Great effort Atsu

Really should score that...

Interesting, I hadn't thought about the fact this is Ritchie's first game since leaving them... seems like the type of character to get well up for it. He's radge as out.

What's even the difference between those three man? :lol:

Defoe starts on bench for Bournemouth.

Don't see how Gayle can play the 10 role either. His passing and build up play is absolutely shite. Would have preferred an upfront two of Mitrovic & Perez.

Doubt it's 4-4-2. Looks like Gayle in no.10 FFS

I agree, they have an understanding on and off the pitch it seems.

Gayle: 72 PL apps / 15 goals / 1 assist Mitrovic: 36 PL apps / 10 goals / 4 assists Mitro all day long for me. Better/at least as good at scoring goals in this league and a much bigger presence on the pitch. Gayle is a mouse in this league unfortunately - Joselu too. Mitrovic, at least you know he is on there.
