Kid Icarus

Wonder if he's got a case of the Santons. So good since the final, almost faultless tbh.

Last time I watched them was their win against Spurs and they were honestly canny good. Really not sure what's happened in the meantime, but I was watching Loaded Mag last night with a Leicester fan on and they all absolutely hate RVN like, complete out of his depth.

Yeah. It's insane innit.

Despite playing shite, our xG in that match was higher than the combined xG of Leicester's since they last scored.

We won that in neutral, never mind first gear. Did barely anything and walked it. Very strange seeing Newcastle do that. Pope: 6.5 Trippier: 6.5 Krafth: 6 Schär: 7.5 Burn: 6.5 Livramento: 7.5 Tonali: 7 Bruno: 6.5 Miley: 5 Joelinton: 6.5 Longstaff: 6 Murphy: 7.5 Osula: 5.5 Isak: 5.5 Wilson: 5 Barnes: 5.5

Ref has played his part in making this an awful second half tbf

Honestly that Barnes had been subbed on the hour

His form has lasted a lot, lot longer like. His numbers were good last season as well.

Massively hyped wonderkid. Man City are signing him.

Because he didn't stay at their training ground for one week like he normally does...but it was because his wife had just given birth RVN is an absolute prick.

Ref has gone from letting everything go to pulling everything up

I think that's why we've been slippy tbh, it's been too easy.

They're worse than the lower league teams we played in the cup. Certainly less effort than Bromley.

The most half-arsed thrashing in a half I've ever witnessed. Basically mucking about on beginner mode, getting 3 when we could have got 6 or 7.

Need to work on that GD now.

Fucking hell, we haven't even really played well. They're absolutely atrocious

What.an.assist

So many RTG posts are written in the same Kenny Sr style as the early era Facebook stories you used to see on r/thathappened 'I picked up a Muslim's wallet and he said "You have done me a favour, now I'll do you favour. Don't go to the match on Saturday*"

Unless Howe could work his magic on him it's probably HBA like.

Jonas under Howe is more likely to have played in midfield, like he did at the end of 11/12 imo.

See I think Howe only really cares about physicality in defence and midfield. It's what makes players like Cabaye or Coloccini non-starters. Isak, Gordon, and Murphy are all skin and bones but absolutely rapid. Someone like Ba wouldn't fit into that profile, but weirdly Cabella would.

Very few that fit into the profile that Howe likes imo. Really wouldn't surprise me if it was someone unexpected like Remy Cabella.

Decent result. One of the worst matches I've ever seen.
