He played as a super hero. That's the only way you can describe his position.

 

He attacks, he defends, he creates, he hustles. What I'd give to be that guys chewing gum.

He should start for Brazil in the coming WC. I am serious


He should and will come knockout stages, but Im agraid Tite is going to insist with Fred at first.

Some of his through balls from central positions were sublime as was his general shielding of the ball and general awareness tactically, he was for me our second best performer behind Miggy, but as daft as this sounds, I didn’t think he had a stormer of a game, that’s the level he is at, that he can cruise games like today and stand out. He has even more to offer and that’s what’s so exciting.

I've been saying this for at least 2 years now, well, one can hope that Tite will see the light and accept "The Truth". [emoji38]


He's better than Fred in every single metric, I think Fred is a little bit Phisically Stronger, but on the rest there's no comparsion.

He makes everything look so easy. Never panics. He did those little dinks with the ball up in the air to make a show of a few Forest players. He’s got the lot and we need to match his ambition because he could literally play for any club he wanted.

 

You pay the 50m to buy his mate to keep him happy ☺️

Actually, it didn’t look like we had a holding midfielder today (and even in friendlies when Shelvey wasn’t playing). Bruno was all around the pitch, and so were Joe and Willock of course. 
 

This backfired Big time today when all three midfielders were in and around Forest’s box and then we suddenly lost the ball, we literally had no one of Newcastle players anywhere from their box all the way to our half of the pitch, and the Forest player was just running through the center without being challenged. The center of pitch was just empty. That was dangerous but Forest just squandered that ball. This happened also once against Bilbao and resulted in a one to one against Pope, but they didn’t score. 
 

I wonder what Howe thinks of that and how we are going to fix it.
