Robster Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Love the glasses removal. does he just not care about seeing properly once the match is over or summit? I'm mesmerized by that tweet. The movement from glasses in pocket to hand shake is so seamless, it's like a magicians slight of hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Was worried about his subs but bringing Atsu on really helped stretch them back again. Don’t change the winning team, Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgk_lfc Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The champions league winning team was mainly houllier's team tbh with a few additions like Luis Garcia. That CL is singularly the greatest managerial achievement I had the privilege of following in the last 20 years. Everyone focuses on the final but he was pulling rabbits out the hat every single game. Look at the Juve vs LFC squad in the quarter-final. Look at our subs and Juve was managed by Capello (who is no mug). Juventus: 1-Gianluigi Buffon; 21-Lilian Thuram, 4-Paolo Montero, 28-Fabio Cannavaro; 16-Mauro Camoranesi, 8-Emerson, 11-Pavel Nedved, 24-Ruben Olivera, 19-Gianluca Zambrotta; 9-Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 10-Alessandro Del Piero © Liverpool: 1-Jerzy Dudek; 3-Steve Finnan, 4-Sami Hyypia ©, 23-Jamie Carragher, 21-Djimi Traore; 18-Antonio Nunez, 25-Igor Biscan, 14-Xabi Alonso, 6-John Arne Riise; 10-Luis Garcia, 5-Milan Baros. Subs: Carson, Cisse, Smicer, Le Tallec, Warnock, Welsh, Potter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Don't really want to dwell on negatives after a positive performance but I hate how every defending corner seems to be absolute panic stations at the back. I know Antia has a lot of input with them but any corner that passes our man at the front post just seems an absolute free-for all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgk_lfc Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Having said that, I think if he manages to keep Newcastle up ( which I am confident he will) this season, it will probably be his greatest achievement. He has pulled out magical victories at other clubs but this is the first where the owner is actively trying to sabotage progress made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Got it spot on yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed watching us for the first in a while, him and the players deserve a lot of credit, I have been critical of the man this season and rightly so IMO, but it looks like there's a good chance hes going to turn this around, and I absolutely hope he does, and shoves my words back down my gob.

triggs Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'm talking about Huddersfield not Brighton. Apparently last season the average Newcastle first team player earned £32,889 per week while the average Huddersfield player earned £19,693 per week. I doubt that has changed significantly enough for our wage bill to be below theirs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they leave we end up taking a hit on the fee but also end up paying a bulk of their wages. We'll be still paying players who left 2 seasons ago. For once we also pay our manager handsomely.

Apparently last season the average Newcastle first team player earned £32,889 per week while the average Huddersfield player earned £19,693 per week. I doubt that has changed significantly enough for our wage bill to be below theirs The difference equates to around 17m for a 25 man squad over a 4 year period. Even using Lee Charnley accounting it doesn't change anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yeah but no disrespect to Huddersfield or Brighton, but we're Newcastle United ffs, our club should be bringing in a lot more revenue than those 2, spending more on transfer fees AND wages than them. Again, it all comes down to Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Having to go fall back on the wage bill as some sort of proof that "it's not really remarkable if Rafa doesn't get backed and keeps us up". Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
