Christ almighty. Change it Howe

Good save Dubravka, Bailey is going to be a pain in the arse here. BDB has been excellent but wonder if Tinp needs to come on?

Edit - wrong thread

We don’t want to be losing Isak. We need more forward options and for any underlying medical issues to be dealt with or managed as best as possible. No doubt in my mind that it’ll be dealt with in the summer

Yep, I think playing Almiron and Murphy on the ‘right’ side was behind that one

YESSSSS!

Whey no

I like not playing with inverted wingers mind - it stretches teams. Villa struggled with it first half

Yep, Emery’s no slouch and Howe’s tactics first half were spot-on. Emery will no doubt have spotted problems and change things - and Howe will be anticipating that. Love watching matches with two proper football coaches

They had a couple - Diaby and Kamara’s chances spring to mind. But if they could’ve had a couple, we could have had half a dozen

Aye, I think that’s probably more the case tbf.

Possibly. Seemed to walk off reasonably ok, probably means he’s out for the season (I shouldn’t even joke about that given the season so far …) Shame as this has been a cracking game of football and a first class NUFC performance

Pulled up from what I saw. Don’t think he’s built for a high-press game

Miley’s best half of football for me

Isak was causing them real problems as well. They were shitting their pants when he was near the ball

FUCJINF YAAAAAS

YES! DESERVED AS WELL

Looking a lot more like Eddie Howe’s Mags again here

Chance that

Movement in midfield already looking better

Ho’way United

Dancing on Ice’s Channel 5 knock-off doesn’t sound like a ratings winner

I’ve always had that fucking irritating habit of getting increasingly confident as KO approaches.

Massive KK blind spot. Never quite seemed to get that a good keeper can win you almost as many points as a top centre forward. We win a trophy with KK with a better GK. I always felt the GK KK should have went for was Nigel Martyn (Seaman and Flowers were already at big clubs). Instead we paid over £1.5m for Shaka in 1995 (Martyn went to Leeds for £2.25m in 1996). Edit: tbf KK did almost sign Brad Friedel but that was snookered by a work permit issue

He’s not gay. In fact, he can honestly say that he’s never come over a little queer
