David Edgar

Lucky.

On the positive, Hall looks solid.

Gordon has spent the whole game playing up front. The international commentator has just decided it was an in game tactical tweak. Haha.

Think he is done then. Got to soldier on with Dubravka until we can hopefully sign a decent keeper in the summer.

Offside and a shite finish.

Well then, I think Pope is done.

Disgusting challenge.

Wilson to hobble around until the 85th minute.

Hopefully Wilson pulls up early and we can get some legs on.

The decision to go with Wilson feels dumb.

WTF

What's with the funky kick-off time?

Can Gareth Southgate open on the sub continent?

Hasn't taken into account the underlying stats.

Do you think our discussions here, on an internet forum with the purpose of discussing all things Newcastle United, will influence player performance? Not meant as a condescending question in its entirety btw. I imagine people associated with the club will check here from time to time. Wouldn't be particularly helpful to some, I imagine. Reading all the negativity. But then you surely get immune to the criticism eventually?

Dubravka's wife needs to get onto fbref instead of instagram.

D MINUS A will be joeyt

Honestly, if Liverpool just put Salah and a goalkeeper on the pitch they would still win the league.

He's singlehandedly winning the Premier League.

Gordon has had plenty of (warranted) criticisms this season. Mainly in the first couple of months before his form notably picked up. Also, nobody is criticising Murphy for his creative play. Everyone agrees he's great there. It's other parts of his game that get specific criticism. The same as how Gordon's ropey finishing gets pulled up now and then.

Who, Notts Forest?

It is very frustrating because Osula would've caused some serious trouble for Wolves with those chances Wilson had. Wilson was probably preferred for his experience, Howe trusting he would have better decision making. And well, that didn't turn out great. So now we are left with either trying to play the old, injury-ridden striker back into form or giving the minutes to the young inexperienced guy.

He is absolutely brilliant at a very small part of the game, which happens to be very important, and very mediocre at a lot of other stuff. We've been here a million times. I've found peace with how he plays. I know he is going to give the ball away under pressure - and I've stopped getting wound up by it. I know he isn't going to score regularly (even if he did score today). I know he is going to create chances in the final third at a ridiculous rate - and it isn't a purple patch because he's been doing that for years. For now, he's our RW and there isn't a player at the club who could play the role any better.

Stop Salah and we can win this. Hall got utterly roasted by him earlier in the season, which doesn't help.
