Is it basically down to the fact that he won’t sub off Van Dijk? 

Seemingly. I haven’t seen today’s match, but really it seems even after such an excellent season he’s fifth choice at best. I’d be livid if I was Sven; could have been enjoying his well deserved holidays if Koeman had no plan to give him a chance.

I’ve never seen that other CB play but I’m struggling to accper he’s better than Botman 


It’s because he’s left footed so is seen exclusively as a LCB by the manager. Unfortunately the starting LCB is VVD so tends to always start.

Gabriel, Konsa, Tarkowski, Guehi, Kilman, Mee, Dunk, Koch, Schar, Mings.

 

edit: actually that’s just CB’s. Didn’t include FB’s.

Is this guy just a silent assassin? You never here anything about him he just gets on with his job of being amazing, every Newcastle fan puts him as the first name on the teamsheet every week and he just gets better.

Apart from against Haaland in the 3-3, I can't think of many other times. Let's hope he continues his form and stays injury free.

Apart from when he slipped for the Watkins chance, I thought he was pretty great yesterday?

 

Maybe we take these type of performances from him for granted

We absolutely do sadly, same with the flagging Bruno got in the match thread absolutely lifting stuff. 
 

Both him and Schar kept Watkins extremely quiet.

Bruno's getting stick? 

Usual lot give midfielders grief when they're dispossessed from behind once or twice, Bruno has had that creep into his game recently by dallying in posession so now there's a giant magnifying glass on it everytime it happens, meaning they'll focus on that instead of the 85+minutes of decent to good play. It's remedial shit.
