I don't buy into the tonali talk unless he is homesick. But then the problem would be his feet blowing the Italian teams out of the water. I think the only option would be him running down his contract

Constant rotation is not helping either. Yes it might be keeping players fit but there seems to be no rhythm or flow at the moment.

Just realised 8 of the 3rd placed teams get through... It's getting ridiculous now. Even Scotland could squeeze through!

Can we close the thread now. The enjoyment factor will now turn to full bitterness

I was just about to type that! Honestly think they will use it all season lol

Looks like He is going through a Gordon start to his Newcastle career Hopefully it will kick in at some point and we don't have to wait until next season

Just needs a bit of faith shown in him to play more games / minutes. In hindsight he could have played CM on Tuesday as Bruno looked knackered but imagine Howe started with Miley and Willock and we lost. Everyone would have kicked off for the wrong decision being made

I think Salah will go to Saudi in January for a ridiculous amount...good move for player and club as his time is ending

Quick bet on Liverpool not to win at home and Isak not to score until the 31st January

Yep he looks knackered and his passing has been awful

5 stupid minutes of football. Hate football at times

I'm lost lol

There was actually no need for him to come out of the box. Whole game has changed from that one moment

Nothing worse than the away end singing "wheres your famous atmosphere " I'm in the east corner so can hear both sets of fans but what can you generally hear from level 7?

So we made 13 fouls to their 8. Hardly breaking up play? To be fair half of them were Doku chucking himself to the floor

Peps previous team was a thing of beauty, playing a brand of football that the league had never seen before. This one is an ugly, snarly, loveless team that has no redeeming features. And Peps attitude at the final whistle sums it up for me.

Probably said something negative about the club.. Bruno wouldn't stand for any piss taking

At Left back he was almost out of the team for his poor performances at the start of last season. At CB he then managed to build his confidence and stature back up to gain an England call up. Is anyone surprised he has then reverted back to a left back liability? Not his fault with injuries etc but his height can't be the only reason he starts in front of Hall

Because the question deserves to be asked. Football is played in the now and not the past and as much as I love Eddie my point was questions would be asked at other top clubs.

If the players were knackered or ill then there was no reason not to start this six. Then bring the others on a subs if they were fit. Miley, Ramsey, willock Elanga wolt barnes

Now I'm genuinely worried. In any other top club the manager would be under threat.. so why not Howe. Such a shame as I thought we were so close to taking the next step

Ramsdale and Hall come in against City... Get turned over and back to Pope and Hall

Never a pen First one was Got to think VAR balanced it out

Last chance for this selection away from home? Hope they prove me wrong

Need a minimum of two goals for a result... Same amount we have scored away from home in the league all season. In fact if are going to lose let's just go on the attack anyway
