What is.

He is better than Lascelles but that isn't saying much, it would be nice to have better back up or competition for Schar but i appreciate we can only do so much in each window. He did his part to keep us up but he isn't good enough really moving forward.

Everton the game after, Spurs away when we got walloped, he comes rushing out of position for some reason.

Opinions, he was at fault for a lot of goals last season, i just don't rate him.

Schar and Botman is quite good but Burn or Lascelles having to come in worries me, neither are good enough.

Burn is poor.

Doesn't mean owt for the start of the season does it?

Knee?

Can we skip to pens please.

What a goal

"The likes of Trippier, Guimaraes and Chris Wood"

Bald eagle that.

Good crowd like, fair play.

I'll say it then.. Murphy injured, get in.

That would explain it.

i read their end is sold out, surely not.

He should have went "they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain" when he was on about the mackems in the airport.

The only thing i'm slightly annoyed at now is that they've kept the Ashley 'NEWCASTLE UNITED' on the East Stand.

I've never seen a goalkeeper sent off for handling a backpass.

Willock shows moments of class that Longstaff isn't capable of, that finish away at West Ham for example, he also did a little drop of the shoulder during that game to get away from a defender that was class, he does actually play some clever short passes aswell.

Agreed, he has shown glimpses of brilliance but is still raw, got far more potential than either Longstaff.

He isn't really, Bruno is a true CM. Willock is somewhere in between CM and CAM, that's why he fits in a midfield 3 as the attacker, but you can't play him in a midfield 2 as he would leave the other midfielder too isolated.

He is the only quality we have on the wing, Fraser Almiron and Murphy just run around doing not a lot, we need to get rid of them before Maxi.

Wood and Schar didn't feature either so hopefully Dubravka has just got a minor knock or something rather than him leaving.
