Barnes and tonali have been the rare highlights of tonight's game.

Hasn't got a clue, took 3 fouls in a row to get a card.

Forest passing through us at will.

Not a great challenge by hall, but forest have committed dozens of them without punishment.

Just pass the ball, it's quite fundamental to football and quite a basic skill.

The marking from that long corner was a joke.

Same happened the weekend. Teams are targeting our fullbacks as well as they know the centre backs can't pass.

I just wish we didn't play this high tempo style all of the time, we have to learn to slow it down and pass the ball to retain possession

Agreed I love Hall, but he's had a shocking game.

This back 4 has 0 understanding of how to play as a unit. Hall in particular looks like a fish out of water, his positioning has been abysmal.

Tonali is so so good, that is all.

We aren't very good at playing the ball out of defence, we lose it so much.

Bruno been clattered about 5 times so far.

Barnes plays his role so well, every Newcastle players knows where he is going to be when they play that ball forward.

Pass and move, what is this witchcraft?

Lovely move rhat, just missing the finish.

He's fucked, written all over his face.

See you in 6 months willock.

Willock made out of actual glass.

Hall needs to calm himself down.

Wtf wow!

Feel better already seeing that handsome bastard back on the pitch.

Proper professional performance from trips today, really showed what a class act he is. Letting him go would a very poor decision. Still think he has a big part to play. When the chips are down he has the fight.

We cant play the ball around the back line with that calamity of passing ability, it's a critical point and breaks up your play before you even get going. It also puts too much pressure on the fullbacks to bring the ball out or the midfielders receive the ball when already under pressure.

He's a proper box to box midfielder he has pace for days.
