et tu brute Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 He was the perfect player to bring on the second half (should have been playing the full game mind). Longstaff and Shelvey were sitting on top of our defence the whole game and in the second half up to when Willock came on, 10 man West Ham basically ‘choked’ our play. The appalling management of Bruce was there to see in full glory. It was absolutely obvious what needed to be done. He then had the cheek to blame the players for being too defensive. No you fat cunt it’s called game management. When it’s not working you change it, not wait until you have let a 10 man team draw level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Like other loan players before him his loan fee will probably be appearance based. Bruce will have been told the budget and have to stick to it. should club management now consider us safe, he won’t play again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I love his positive, happy go lucky attitude. Unlike a lot of our players, he goes out there without any fear. Perhaps there are question marks about his work rate or defending (hard to spot unless you're actually there), but his mindset has to be good for the team. We've looked better since his arrival. Not by much, but better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I’d always have him as part of a three in central midfield because it enables him to take the risks going forward and not have the burden of getting back at full pelt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 So strange that before he arrived here I was like who the fuck is this guy? Partridge shrug. Now he's one of our best players ? Either I'm really out of touch with football or our CM is really that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some bad game management in my time watching Newcastle, but that second half was the most gob-smackingly worst I can remember. To have no answer to a desperate 10 man team just chucking players forward was wondrous to behold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Yes please, start him and Wilson today and we win IMO. Great attitude, technical, carries the ball well, gets into goalscoring positions and seems a big game type player. Sign the lad up, well impressed!

Amir_9 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Playing a huge part in helping keep us up. What a lad! Edited April 24, 2021 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Class, hope he stays, just a shame he hasn’t had the crowd behind him the last few months as I think he could be a bit of a monster with confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Really good at finding space in the box. His runs are spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Even though it was the case beforehand, he will definitely be way out of our price range right now. I would make him my first signing in a post Ashley world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hope we had agreed a price already when he came on loan. We'll probably try to haggle it down anyway and end up missing out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Should have been loaned with a view to a permanent deal. If he was good enough to loan, they should have had the foresight that he'd be worth signing permanently, but we don't do planning or foresight, everything is short termism.

CalmintheChaos Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Great prospect. Remember some of our fans complaining about signing him over maitland-niles ffs or not playing Matty Longstaff instead. He’s levels above both them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candi_Hills Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I'm not bothered about signing him. If the teakeover fails, we're done as a club. If it goes through we'll be able to fund the technology to de-age Zidane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no accident that he gets on the end of so many chances. He uses his brain. If you watch the goal again, you can see him make a kind of instinctive calculation about where the ball is going to end up after the aerial challenge. His thinking is a split second ahead of the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
