Dokko Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Seems to have learned how to pass a bit. Not perfect, but enough to not be a glaring weakness, and with that, he's an option again. Hopefully the next player to be Howe'd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Wanted to hear him speak at the end. Great night for him, Schar, Murphy, Burn, Longstaff, Almiron. What a journey they’ve been on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 He's seemingly responded to some elite coaching. Add that to his physical attributes, he can still be a part of this journey,he just showed us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hope this performance doesn’t end the cycle of this place melting down whenever he’s anywhere near the first team, only for him to be really fucking good when he does have to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If it weren't for the fact that Sven is a fucking beast that would be the kind of performance that would start asking questions about the starting XI. Not a foot wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t play it safe all the time anymore and it’s made a huge difference. Buzzing for him as much as anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If he's happy stay as a back up, we should be offering him a new contract as a 4th or 5th choice CB. Flawless performance against those forwards, stunning really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Impressive stuff. He's a Champions League player now, he's proven it these last 3 games he's more the capable of being part of this team when it's at its best. His recovery pace is actually superior to Botmans I would say and we needed it on atleast 2 occasions tonight. Bravo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 He was better than their CBs at everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Man that was a really impressive performance. Best I think I have seen from him in a Newcastle shirt. The recovery when Dembele got goal side of Burn was huge and such a crucial moment in the game. Obviously ideally want Botman fit but part of me is really pleased he got to have his moment in the limelight. He was playing for us in the championship for fuck sake. What a journey?

Still not even thirty yet, and I think he's proving he's more than worth a back up role, especially when he's got as much of a leadership role as he still seems to have.
