Sempiternal

Neville shouldn’t be on these matches, it’s too much

Lol that’s the first booking?

Clear foul, come on

Break the bank for Madders though btw. 100 percent

I can’t speak on Newcastle’s team but you’d be very surprised at some of the incompetence that is pervasive in football. Of course no elite footballer is “shit”, it’s a matter of context, they are just descriptive words. Players are still getting released for being “too small”, sad but true and recruitment teams are not infallible they make mistakes. I’m just giving my opinion on the player, I’ve been wrong plenty of times, like anyone would be. My point is that whether Howe likes him or not is irrelevant to me personally.

I mean not really but this discussion is going absolutely nowhere pretty much. So let’s just leave it at that. I’m not speaking for anyone else purely myself, and im not really in the habit of judging players on emotion, I just don’t think McTominay is a good player and my opinion isn’t altered by whether Howe does or not. He can have his opinion and I can have mine.

Wew that Liverpool midfield is rough.

Exactly and even then it does show a bit in his passing stats.

I love Howe, and think Chelsea’s business has been mostly bad aside Enzo. I would hope our scouting network have been able to ID players outside of Scott McTominay. I’d hope we can be looking at players similar to Caicedo or Palhina (pre their moves to the PL) or line wolves have done with Neves etc

It’s slightly untrue, Jordan Ibe was objectively ass when Howe signed him.

well yeah but I’m not acting as if he can’t be questioned. What is the literal point of a discussion forum if we just go “Howe liked him so I can’t say he’s a bad player”? If Howe wanted to sign Jack Colback are we not going to be able to say “Colback is gash”? It makes no sense at all.

They do in one season, if you check his full breakdown not so much. There are lots of red flags in his numbers and beyond that the eye test also applies. If Howe wants him that’s his choice, he’s not God and people are allowed to question it. All stats are fallible, see Chris Wood’s “headers won” stat.

Love MGW as well

Johnson is class

Every single professional midfielder in the premier league can press the ball, I mean come on now. There’s a reason the very first thing ETH did was upgrade their midfield.

McTominay, yeah hard pass on that.

Yeah very foolish from Forest to get sucked into a fight basically

Godfrey is getting sent off at some point, forgot how much I hate Dyche teams

Godfrey is dirt like

Shelvey has been good since the pen tbf

The fee was high for MGW but he’s a very good player

Im a big fan of Johnson

LOL

That little bit of play from Shelvey was lush like, such a frustrating player

Im not expecting him to light the world up, but like I said they are just concerns I had with him at Everton, and that I’m seeing here, coachable hopefully of course. I was never his biggest fan, but obviously I want him to succeed here, if he loses a 1v1 vs Walker that’s football but I want him to at least try to beat him, otherwise we may as well play ASM there, who did beat him constantly
