Alexander Isak

Im not saying he doesn’t acknowledge them. Of course he will. I just don’t think he likes using them as an excuse though and hence he minimises them in press conferences. 

I know, sorry if it came across as having ago - I really wasn’t and I knew what you meant.

I see Richarlison is out with a muscle injury, must be Conte’s fault 

I heard he was once in the same room as Eddie..

Yeah it’s cool man. It’s a good discussion

With all due respect to Hope, on a Thursday podcast with TF he was saying he felt Isak could be bench for Sunday and then on Friday Howe said this weeks fixtures are maybe too soon for Isak and then on Sunday he drops this article that’s just frustrated all of us and added another level of unnecessary shit Howe and co need to manage. 
 

im all for the press writing the stories about Isak and Maxi injury blows but it seems a bit counterintuitive for a north east journalist to do before a massive Match without allowing Howe or the club to properly address it pre or post match. 
 

Just my opinion. 

That’s a good point

First thing he did at Tottenham was dig up the training pitches and re-lay the turf over concrete.

Well with World Cup break and January we’ve got plenty of time to set it right!

 

6 League games till the WC. Hopefully see a fully fit NUFC before then, but looks doubtful. 

 

Good job Howe can perform miracles and turn piss into fine wine.

[Theregulars]

I think Hope is probably a decent guy but he writes for the journalistic equivalent of the love child of the Death Star and the third reich. Nothing written in that poison well is it worth your, my or our time.

I think more they’ll probably buy another attacker, having now seen proof that both Wilson and ASM can’t be relied on, and that Isak hasn’t really got going. Could be wrong but I’ve a feeling Maddison’s England snub will lead him to blame Leicester and he’ll agitate for a transfer.

It’s about long term for me as well and if it is facilities then address it as we’ve never had owners that do that for a long time, always been a case of “too many injuries - maybe a new sports direct sign will sort things out”

[Interpolic]

Benitez and his team were rightly given credit for giving us our best injury record in recent memory, it's fair that some questions are asked when that isn't the case. 

 

It's interesting that it's mainly attackers that are dropping like flies and I do wonder what's behind it. Definitely think there's an element of not rushing/risking players, which we've complained about in the past and can't really have both ways. 

[Doctor Zaius]

Fed up of injuries and this club like. Seems like a constant.

Least he’s available for Everton

Aye, Villa and Southampton too. 

 

Who edited that title

[Cattletrucked]

Well if it’s down to training methods, our training methods since I first started going back in the day have always been shit, cos we’ve had injuries to key players right through from the 70’s up until now….we’re just jinxed ffs, no doubt the players going to the World Cup will come back fucked too, it’s just what happens to us. Christ I’m sounding like a scouser. I’m sure no one is to blame but aye it’s frustrating and annoying. 

[duo]

I'm in hope that 'Hope' is wrong.  Eddie didn't mention it on Friday.

Out for a while according to Howe, obviously disappointing but the World Cup break will obviously negate some of that 

[Jack27]

 also grim

[Mazzy]

Typical. The striker we bring in to negate the effects of our crocked striker goes and gets himself crocked for almost the exact amount of time the previous one would have been. 

[madras]

Is someone going to correct the title then ?

[madras]

Thank you.

We're gonna see so much Wood this season, you'd think you'd stumbled on to Pornhub.

[Yorkie]

Guess Rio Ferdinand was right. 

[toontownman]

Almost like we need two forwards brought in last window.  

 

We are limping to the break right now but the gamble might pay off. The thought of seeing too much more or Wood is a terrifying one, bless him.
