Still not convinced by the technology used to make these offside decisions. 

Can’t say I noticed any change at all. Our game plan was clearly to nullify the game and go for it in the second half.

Longstaff played well when he came on, but Joelinton was playing well before he went off.

Every commentator saying he went down too dramatically and that's why he didn't get it - I don't see it. The fall is real, and he's lifting his arms and screaming to say it's a foul, not to act like he's been shot.

I thought going down dramatically was essential for getting a penalty? See: Maddison, James.

All three of you should hang your heads in shame for watching that.

Much better today and was passing more often. Didn’t get an individual result but we got a team one to show for it.

Should have got a pen though, abysmal decision.

Has never been good enough but has always been here. Shola at LB.

Miles better than playing Ritchie there, but that’s hardly worthy of praise.

I'm glad you put that out there, otherwise I was wondering, like others, could we have saved £25m and just kept Carroll on? He's just as good in the air, and has better hold up play. 

Yup. I don’t get it trying to make it out like he’s a positive as he gives us “shape” by being an actual striker.

By that logic we could have purchased any big bulky striker and they’d have had the same impact as Wood for £25m.

I’m hoping he comes good as I do with all of our signings but I’ve seen nothing from him so far to suggest he will.

Not a clue how ASM didn’t get a pen.

VAR is utterly pointless when decisions like that are not made.

He’s an odd one. He plays like he doesn’t give a shit, but you see his reaction when he scored today and he clearly does.

I really like him. He’s always been fairly solid for us.

He’s never going to lead us to CL glory, but he’s towards the bottom of the list for replacement.

Even as a back up option, he can play on either side.

Watched them today and they were absolutely shite. Villa weren’t even that good themselves but cantered to an easy victory.

Considering all of the players apparently disliked Rafa and his methods, doesn’t look like they’ve responded to his sacking at all.

Would love them to go down like, it won’t happen, but I’d love it.

Looks very much like a striker who was scoring goals because the team he was playing for were just set up to hoof long balls and crosses at him.

Maybe he’ll get better but it’s not a surprise he only has three goals this season.

Howeiola 

Best manager we’ve ever had, I’ve never said anything in contrast to that.

Tickets are priced at £10m and Al Ittihad have offered to donate their share to NUFC.

Always start to convince myself we’ll get a result the night before  

Just fucking win you useless sacks of shit!!

You can guarantee one thing if we go down, it’ll be nowt to do with Bruce or Ashley. The press will have a field day sticking the knife into the Saudis and Staveley.

 

 

 

Of course Bruce and Ashley should be held partly responsible, but Howe has had 2/3rds of a season where the teams around us have been dogshit.

Smith has gone to Norwich who are diabolical and has double the points total of Howe with us and they’re now out of the relegation zone.

It’s hard to constantly blame the players for being shit when a CB pairing of Hanley (who wasn’t good enough for us five years ago) and Gibson are playing better than ours.

We’re still waiting for those two imminent deals from about two weeks ago aren’t we?

Why not make Almiron part of the deal for Diego Carlos?

 

His agent is making noices that he wants to move and it's said he has admirers from spain.

Problem is his admirers are probably Burgos CF and Fuenlabrada rather than Sevilla.

Lets not forget before his 6-month spell at West Ham, Lingard was a complete laughing stock.

What was it, a two-year goal draught at Man Utd?

It's not a window until we've been linked with Choudhury.  I'd take him on loan.

He’s worse than all of the shit players we already have.

Would cement our relegation with signings like that.

Imagine having to put it into an agreement that you wouldn’t be criticised in the future.

Signed him on an initial six month contract - obviously doesn’t want to stay if they don’t get promoted.

Wish NUFC360 wouldn’t retweet stuff from clearly shite sources.

We’re surely not taking 90min as a credible source these days?
