Bruce will rush him back.

We all saw this coming.

Just sounds like an old man struggling for any energy.

Sorry to have wasted everybody's time but that is actually a photograph of a decaying, radiation damaged gymnasium in Chernobyl and not Newcastle United's weights room. A tricky distinction to make in everyone's defence.

Man Utd currently in a 5-4-1 shape that looks very familiar.

He took a massive hit to be fair.

Here it is width=1000 height=1000https://res.cloudinary.com/fleetnation/image/private/c_fit,w_1120/g_south,l_text:style_gothic2:%C2%A9%20Stockimo,o_20,y_10/g_center,l_watermark4,o_25,y_50/v1483528609/dwwwvsfbjnuwkpcuqmvo.jpg[/img]

I had so little reaction when Alonso scored. I think my only real attachment to the team is wanting the Longstaff brothers to do well.

Why is VAR lingering on this? Clear dive by KDB.

Watching how the TMO is implemented in Rugby puts VAR to shame. I'm not saying you could just use the TMO structure in football, that wouldn't work given the clear differences between the sports, but VAR just has to improve.

Gayle isn't a good scorer in the Prem, but he'll play the other aspects of the position better than Joelinton.

I'd get Gayle up to speed ASAP.

His form has nosedived this year. He was twice the player last year.

Out of his depth.

Carthorse.

Yeah, Dubravka is nothing special. Decent Prem goalkeeper. Would look out of place at a bigger club.

I reckon it'd still be 0-0 if we'd have just changed Jetro for Dummett and maybe Almiron for Atsu.

Almiron a better defensive option out wide, but that still doesn't excuse that he's tripe in the final third. The game isn't played just in the final third though. Especially for us where we hardly get 30% possession over 90 mins. I said last week that there is no way Joelinton could cover the amount of ground Almiron does when someone suggested playing him as a wide forward. Yeah, definitely agree with that.

Almiron a better defensive option out wide, but that still doesn't excuse that he's tripe in the final third.

I see nothing in this guy to suggest he will ever be a £40m player.

That's fair enough. They are a much better team. We didn't have the quality on the bench to keep us in the game. Bringing on a crocked Andy Carroll to slump around the middle of the pitch and pushing a lumbering Joelinton out wide did not help. Tactical masterpiece from Bruce.

Save Dubs. Get Jetro off. Shit in defence. Need Dummett on to secure the left side.

This 5-4-1 formation is utter genius.

Reckon that is given as a red to someone like Matt Ritchie.
