Geordie Boyo

The shirt is great. The rest is garbage I wore as a teenager in the 90s that shouldn’t be anywhere near that price

Possibly - apart from the situation on the right and Botman out, we don’t exactly have any crisis, but an improved squad with the options we have and hopefully will have soon.

Barnes Isak Gordon Joe Bruno Tonali Hall Burn Krafth Tripps Pope For me, but the likelihood is Miggy or Murphy on the right, Gordon left and Longstaff in ahead of Tonali… Miley, Botman, Wilson and Willock to come back. Not a bad squad providing everyone stays fit for the majority.

Tonali just looks like he’s never been away. Definitely a starter against Spurs for me. I would like to see Gordon on the right with Barnes down that left, still. Maybe give Big Joe a rest with Bruno and hopefully Willock back.

We don’t like being pressed…..they’ll have watched the Bournemouth game. We just don’t seem as organised and losing Willock, someone like Gordon who can run at players, is definitely a miss.

Some days his limitations outweigh his strengths. That obviously happens to some degree with everyone, but like Shola you’re either really poor or simply play your part. We’ve got players who not only play their part more consistently, but their ability is on a different level.

Edging away

That’s two games in a row with two controversial decisions. Mentally this just shouldn’t play any part in supporters or players mindset when it comes to up & coming games. They’ve got the extra help of VAR. How can they be even worse than before it….!

As a player, he’s definitely a cut above and our best man to captain our squad. He’s made a huge mistake that he’ll just have to get on with as anyone else would have too. He’s got to go with what is best for the kids - if he can get away with staying put with the direction the club’s going, that’s possibly the best thing football-wise and for us. If it’s a case he’d be more comfortable being closer to his kids giving his commitments with which ever football club he’s with then it’s a toss between psychologically and what’s practical what’s going to be the better decision. We’ll just have to see what will unfold, but it does look like he’s going to leave at this stage.

My eyesight is pretty shit confusing Burn for Longstaff……and also forgetting Longstaff was taken off but I do still blame him.

If anything it looks like it comes off Longstaff.

Aye, I’d be a bit fucked off as a Bournemouth supporter……but I’m not

Poor first half. Simply poor, which isn’t good enough. We knew they would press, but we just looked like we had no form of plan going forward. If it continues into the second half, I’d expect to see Barnes and Willock on. Hopefully if it starts going our way, then Onsula.

Playing hoof-ball atm. Need to press them off the ball as they are with us. good chance their with Gordon, but just not in the right place after nice bit of work from Isak. Really looking forward to seeing Tonali back as we just need someone in there to get hold of the ball and play it.

….that collar…. obviously couldn’t make their mind up how they wanted it.
