I see the bed shitting has started already. Happy Xmas all and remember - if they aint getting you clicking, then they aint making money!

Makems?

only way is up!! Seriously though, if NUFC do get their shit together in this transfer window, other teams down there have to be really worried. We won't be this bad in the second half of the season and we only need to gain 3-4 points more than others!

of course its irrelevant. Otherwise, when Dubs has the ball in his hands, there is nothing to stop lascells running toward opposition striker and taking him out with a sliding tackle, just for the hell of it! Dubs had control of the ball and striker wasn't likely to get the ball!

Its obvious what has gone on - he is getting older and the game is getting quicker. Clark was fine 5 years ago, he isn't now, and that can be said for most the squad. Christ we bought Gayle in 2016 and if he sees out his contract he will leave in 2026 - that statement alone shows you what the new ownership is up against. Gayle, 10 years at the club, what has he done in that time except get richer?

I get what you are saying but we are getting absolutely hammered by individual mistakes so early in games. I dont think we have looked too bad organisation wise but when you have these individual mistakes, which for NUFC always lead to goals, then no amount of organisation is going to help that.

you are harping back to 2-3 years ago. Those same players have stayed at NUFC and got older, slower. Also other teams have improved - jesus christ man, Brentford who came up last year are better than what we have. If you’re asking them to do things they don’t understand, they’re too busy trying to think of a million things rather than the basics and the end result is brain farts like today. Sorry but that's crap. All 4 goals are so basic, I could understand your point of view if Howe had made them take a leap of faith. Since when can a keeper not make a pass of 5 yards to a defender, as its too complicated. Since when does a defender not head that ball clear but think, no I will duck here because Howe has asked me to do complicated things like, dont get sent off this time! I could go on but its pointless. Sell the fucking lot for 1p each, just get rid of them. Gayle can go for free!

he was, as he gave away the corner! Clark also at fault but that goal is under 12s football man, they both should be embarassed!

Its not organising a team at all. its about shit players, making shit decisions. Goal 1: Dubs kicks it out for a corner - what could Howe have done differently before the match, to stop that happening 99 out of 100 Clark clears that ball - this time he didn't - what could Howe have done differently before the match, to stop that happening? Goal 2: Clark and Lascells decide to provide a path for Man City strike by both turning their backs - what could Howe have done differently before the match, to stop that happening? Goals 3 & 4 Richie, caught ball watching for both - both our natural left backs are injured - what could Howe have done differently before the match, to stop that happening? You can bang on all you want about coaching but when individual players are that shit - there is not a lot you can do. We could have played 10 in defence and defended for the full 90 mins but the result would have been the same - as individual errors are happening every week. The only way to stop this, is to buy new players in Jan and keep the best of the worst as subs/backup. Personally, I can't wait for the day that all these players have been sold. They seem to be a nice bunch of lads but they are journeymen, that's the reason why they ended up and stay here during Ashley's time.

That was 2-3 years ago. They've got older, slower. May as well sign Shearer, he scored 20 a season, years ago. Get Ginola as well

Solidify the defence. How exactly, are two left backs are injured. Our centre backs have no pace and our right backs awful as well. So how can you solidify that. Oh protect them with a midfield. Our centre midfield is so poor, our best player wont track back, our only striker is injury prone and our right wingers are well, poor. Solidify the defense, how????? By replacing all in Jan, if we can

Last 2 goal, Ritchie at fault, he is awful. Sell them all

Ive been told, Salah, VVD, Mano are coming, apparently Klopp wished them well and said to LFC TV. 'When a bigger club comes in for our players, what can we do? We wish them well, okay gather round the piano......You'll never walk.........' Source is contact at the club and also Salah's personal chef! Said he can't wait for a Greggs sausage roll!

is that a back peddling I see. No-one knows what we are doing except for those close to the club. Ignore all rumours, all ITK and just wait until they are announced

ignore the rumours but I must admit Im excited to see who we bring in. I just hope they move early and quickly!

We need a brand new 22 player squad really. They are all journey men, 90% have been at the club too long. 3-1 isn't bad but the injuries are starting again.......going to be squeaky bum time time Im still a 7. Get players in early Jan will change everything. Dont and we are basically a 9-10

Just buy a new first 11 and be done with it. Go all in!

Tonight Matthew, I will be avoiding this like the plague!

Man, we are so damaged. Maybe we can launch a class action lawsuit against Ashley for emotional torture and entrapment!

Twitter is a cesspit. I never understand footballers etc managing their own accounts. They are just setting themselves up as a target. Give it to a management company and get them to filter the worst and send you a selection etc if they really want to be seen on Twitter.

£25M for an England international in a position we need strengthening - what's not to love. £25m is old money £4m nowadays. Get him signed and move onto the next signing!!!!!

just read the telegraph article and if that is how they assess, then yes, this will go to court. You can't stop companies from growing by pegging them to their peers. That is totally restrictive!

why are you all worried about this? So basically they are capping sponsorship at the highest level, give or take. So Man City have a shirt deal for £50M a year say, if NUFC announces new shirt deal and its say £52M then that should be approved as its within the ball park. If NUFC announce a shirt deal of £300M then that is a different matter , and would likely be rejected. How that would play out if NUFC wanted to take them to court I dont honestly know. But yes, it is restriction of trade (or glass ceiling) if I have read it right!

Wow, 24 hours ago and Howe was god like. One performance later and people start to question his philosophy and approach. Tough Crowd. I wasn't expecting a win today and I expect none in the next 3. If I was Howe, I would go with Dubs Manquillo, Shar, Lascelles, Ferdandez, Lewis Fraser, Hayden, Shelvey, Joelinton Wilson, I would also have Gayle start a game and rest Wilson Willock, St Max brought on as subs if we are drawing or need to get a goal back. Problem Howe has is Lascelles is crap but is also the captain. Would be a brave man to drop the captain so soon but if he does then go back to back 4.
