Rich Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We absolutely deserve to be relegated if Bellyiot is playing any games not in an emergency next season. He's a mere slip of a lad these days. I quite like him to be honest, good distribution and a good communicator - plus his attitude is sound. Serious question marks over his agility and shot stopping, of course, which is never good. Think Rafa will get a 'keeper sorted, regardless, but I'm not as worried about that position personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His decision making in when to and when not to come off his line has always been my biggest issue with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Elliot has actually grown on me recently, he was a welcoming and calming head end of last season when Darlow was making mistakes all over. Think Rich's 11 is pretty much spot on at this point as our current best 11. I imagine a toss up in the #10 as to Perez, Diame and De Jong. I'm much happier seeing Hayden play next to Shelvey and believe Isaac can develop into a real top player under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Elliot; Yedlin, Lejeune, Clark, Dummett; Hayden, Shelvey; Ritchie, Diame, Murphy; Gayle Is this our current best XI? Yeah. We're shit looking at that. I do have faith in Rafa to make sure we are more competetive in games. Can't see us getting battered often and think we will be in touching distance in most games.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Why would Diame be anywhere near our best 11? De Jong and Perez far better options and I don't particularly rate either, Diame was dreadful for most of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Tim Krul is only 29 but has no future here after being so highly rated for most of his career, yet even out on loan his career has gone downhill. Says a lot about how players coast on their reputation here at Newcastle, and why we have trouble shifting them once we realise we overpaid them in the first place.

Says a lot about how players coast on their reputation here at Newcastle, and why we have trouble shifting them once we realise we overpaid them in the first place. Krul has had a bunch of injuries in his career. His last solid season was maybe 3 years ago. I'm not sure how I feel about this team. Being solid can get you a long way in this league. But i'm not convinced by any area of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Kenedy coming in looks a shrewd move given the number of positions he can operate in. Does it impact on Gamez and/or Aarons in any way, do people think? Been very little on a potential loan for Aarons and he has impressed in pre-season (yet again). Gamez seems to be one we'd sell if we got a reasonable offer in for. Think we've still got massive holes up front (2, arguably), at number ten and in goal. Otherwise it's starting to come together.
