Tonali would be their greatest ever player. Certainly, their greatest ever midfielder by a long way.

Liverpool have looked decent the last 2 games. It would be madness to change it up again just to accommodate the Rat. But you know Slot will be pressured into doing so because of the price tag and the whole furore over signing him in the first place. It will be funny as fuck though, if the Dippers go on another losing run as soon as the Rat is back in the team.

I saw on Twitter yesterday, Fichajes linking us with a 70m move for Camavinga. These lot (Fichajes) are bullshit merchants, it seems to me.

I'd definitely take him. It would be quite something to be able to say we had arguably the greatest player of all time play for us. It's the kind of thing that would get fans all across the world focusing on Newcastle. Which is something we need to do for sure. Raising our brand awareness across the globe is vital to be able to compete with the superclubs. EDIT: Obviously we are not going to sign Messi in a million years, no matter how much we may want it.

He looks shagged.

Curious to know who those 2 or 3 players are. Not having a go or anything, I'm genuinely interested. I assume Messi is one of them?

What a come down from some of the names they've had over the years.

I'm willing to believe this.

Says a lot about the current standing of Brazilian football when Vinicius Jr is supposed to be their star man.

Going against the grain. They think it makes them look hip and cool.

Arsenal will smash them easily.

Their league form has been just as inconsistent and erratic as ours. We should beat them tbh.

My enthusiasm for this match is low after yesterday's performance and result. Hope to see some much needed momentum going into the weekend. Brentford is the more important game.

TBF, almost everyone has. Not just the players, but Eddie and the coaching staff too. It was that bad of a performance today.

Gordon wants to rejoin his mate at Liverpool, so he can recreate the amazing chemistry that they supposedly had.

This season hasn't happened yet. More than enough games left to salvage something from it. I would hope Eddie and the boys can see what the problems are, and try to rectify them, whilst there is still time to do so, instead of shrugging their shoulders and saying, "bad seasons can happen. Its sport". If he can't do that, then he quite rightly deserves to be critiqued. I don't think that's a controversial opinion. A quiet slide into mediocrity shouldn't be accepted just like that. Not by us. And not by Eddie. All that said, I'm still confident he can turn it around. He needs to, let's see if he does.

Will always love him, but he's clearly on the slide now. It'd be interesting to see how much we can get for him, should we decide to sell.

I'd take Europa League, at this point. It's a competition we can win...provided we don't play like we did today.

Stroll in the park for West Ham. Easiest game they'll play all season.

He was your stereotypical 90s plodder. West Ham had a fair few of them in that era.

Be honest, we've gone backwards. Don't see us getting anywhere near top 5 this season.

Yes, but we haven't really evolved in the way we play. The signing of Elanga should have told us straightaway that it was going to be more of the same.

Hate to say it, but we look stale as fuck.

Let's be real. We haven't been that much better at home. Couple of ropey wins over shite teams like Fulham and Wolves papering over the cracks.
