I've historically always said I'd take Newcastle winning the League Cup over a World Cup win for England, but that's been based on Newcastle having no prospect of winning anything, ever. Now the weight has shifted and although we've still won sod-all, winning something is a realistic expectation now so the needle almost moves on preferring us to win the League Cup vs an England WC win. But not quite yet. But not for 7th place. That would be nothing new. We've been there and done that many times in my life, and it's quite likely to happen this year.

Lush Vlad Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I thought he was brilliant today. I often feel early on in matches. He looks as if he is going to have a tough game and seems a bit exposed defensively. But then he just adjusts, gets his positioning sorted and settles into the game and he’s fine. Bit wasteful a couple of times with his passing near the end. But he just oozes class with everything he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Cancelo is a better player (absolute genius tbh) but not sure he's a better right back if that makes sense. Absolute giant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Class tonight along with Schar, completely shut everything down and the two consistent and assured players when everyone else had some scrappy moments. A leader as well, walks straight into the all time XI I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Wish he'd backed himself and pulled the trigger when it fell to him on the second half, but aye, he was class again. Thought he started a bit shaky coming back from injury and I thought it had been too good to be true, but nah, he's mint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) 12m, fuck me. One of our best ever signings quite honestly. Pound for pound, maybe only Rob Lee (for 750k in 92 ) beats him off the top of my head. Edit to add - Beardsley for 1.5m in 93 would be up there. That's the trouble with statements like that, there's actually loads of great buys down the years. David Kelly for about 250k in 91ish would certainly quality Edited October 19, 2022 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don’t particularly like the saying ‘baller’. But it really does apply to him. Runs the game from right back, seems to always be in the right place to nick the ball away or get tight on their first touch and usually plays the right pass. Throw in his set pieces and the fact he is a proper leader of men, as well. He is just the complete package. Where it all started. Him coming has surely meant it was an easier decision for others to follow. Probably our best and most consistent player this season. Along with Schar.
