The Real Deal this lad. Effortless.

I enjoy the Longstaff hate, several instances of him falling over should’ve been free kicks like. But aye berate the lad for being fouled ??

Berate? lol - ffs

I'm a fan and have actually defended him plenty, but every time he's touched he's like a felled tree. He needs to stay on his feet.

Not a Longstaff hater, but he's been absolutely horrid today. This falling over shite needs to stop.

Howe has completely ruined my sneaky Tino, Fantasy move.... bugger!

Win 2-1  - Howay the Lads.

I just got in from work and watched the first half at Lunch. not much between the two teams other than us having our entire spine and most probable CL quality (Isak, Tonali, Botman) out, as well as the entire team shagged. It is what it is, Injuries are looking bleak right now. We definitely need some reinforcements in Jan or our season could fall away. Proud of the lads, they're running on empty...Keep the faith!

Always been a big unit. His technical ball play was far better today and lately. Hats off to the skipper!

Pope

Tino

Lascelles

Schar

Tripps (Happy for Burn to stay if Tripps is Right back, which most likely will be)

Big Joe

Longstaff

Bruno

Miggy

Wilson

Gordon

Bring Little Joe on for the last 30!

Let's get stuck into the soft buggers!

Fucking immense that. Big Joe is loving life, and Tino looks top-level! Fans doing us proud - a little more positive than most on here.

Just gotta manage the game now and use subs well.

Great effort to a man!

If we are stinking, what exactly is worrying folk in that Man U side? Outside of Martial's pace, I don't see much to worry about on that side of the field...

Cue 6-0 defeat

I'd go:

Dubravka

Livramento

Lascelles

Schar

Targett

Longstaff

Bruno

Joelinton

Tindall

Gordon

Hall

Was a routine claim for most PL keepers imo, under minimal pressure. He just got it horribly wrong and it cost us a goal, again imo. He's more than capable of catching that fairly comfortably and stopping the danger at source but he decided to punch it and Wolves were attacking the box again 5 seconds later. 

 

I like Pope and he's been largely great but he was at fault tonight. If people are ok with how he dealt with that cross then fair enough

He punched a wet ball in a crowded area to almost 30 yards out. I'd blame Bruno, Gordon, and Longstaff more for that goal in the next phase of play. All three were poor in their individual and collective attempt to tackle. Then again, they're probably and understandably shattered and running on empty. Pope has been fantastic recently and he did little wrong today in my opinion.

Don't think Pope did much wrong for either goal tbh.

Soaking wet night, punched it well. The fanny-like tackling from Bruno and Longstaff was worse. Half-arsed stuff.

Some of that defending man! piss poor, schoolyard stuff.

We've been blowing out of arses since 35mins.

Not happy at all with the contributions from Burn, Trippier and Almiron, they are messing up our passing moves, even Longstaff to a degree, not enough confidence in their own ability to hold the ball. Although Tripps can be excused as that's not usual for him.

Trippier looks knackered, Burn has had a shocker.

Just now, STM said:

I thought this was is best game for us. Shocked to see criticism.

Agree, probably his best game, but needs to toughen up a bit and but his body on the line - should be doing better and blocking that shot.

Just for context Iove the guy, but he's misfiring and has been a long time now.

I hope the bump in pay get's him back to the player he was.

FFS man

 

Can we have Ashley back please?

I'd hate Ashley back, not sure what your point is.

Sorry mate, I'll not mention his poor form over the last 18months... maybe 25 was an exaggeration, but his form since last Christmas has been no where near a player with a 100m value...that's facts.

Not stating to be an expert, it seems like no one can have an opinion on here without ridicule, maybe it's because I'Oregon Geordie', but actually from Newburn and been going to games since 1985...

I'll retreat to the corridors of silence again... my apologies Shearergol.

100m but to anyone outside the EPL, I'm fine. Fuck selling him to a rival.

On the last 12 months of form, he's worth about 25m.

Not been getting the best out of him at all, especially since the Villa game. Something is just not right with how we're setting up atm but I'm totally unsure as to what it is.

Our midfield is woefully imbalanced and disconnected. It's neither producing or shielding very well.

We're one cute ball from being cut wide open and lack any guile in there ourselves.

Say's alot about our midfield. Missing Willock big time. Zero connection with the striker.

How is it that every bloody attack seems to end up with Longstaff?!

Probably because he's the only one in midfield that gets there, without Big Joe or Willock. Still shite mind!

Subbing off Tonali instead of Longstaff man

 

Tonali did absolutely zero tonight, Longstaff is limited but done far more than Tonali to stay on.
