TRon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Fantastic first half, great to see him get an assist as well. Eddie has a great eye for a player, all due respect to Ashworth, but you get the feeling Howe knows who he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Must admit i was disappointed to see him start and not Barnes but he fully justified his inclusion in the first half, worked very hard and set up the opening goal, very very bright start to his season.

Kid Icarus Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Absolutely fantastic. Imagine if him and Barnes can learn from each other. Incredible potential pairing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He looked so up for it from the get go, even during the warm up he looked the most fired up of all the lads. He’s going to have a massive season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellars Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Great work ethic. Cash was somehow allowed to foul him 5 times in the first half without a card. He worked his socks off and gave us something different. Great tracking back in the first half when Almiron’s gift put Watkins through on goal. Very important at that phase in the match.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Got a canny left foot. He really is lightning. That recovery run for the Diaby break was impressive as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I doubted him last season but fair play to him, he was everywhere in that first half. Dangerous everyone he had the ball! Loved his amazing work ethic to sprint back and keep Diaby wide when they were on the counter attack. Best game in a Toon shirt so far, great shift.

I was thinking about that Schar coldly telling him "you have to earn it" when he signed in that club video and how that might be the moment that did it.

Just the faith that Eddie could make a player out of him. It is early days but he was good today. His best game for Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Work rate from him was brilliant, moment tracking back in the first half to being the last defender and cutting the angle for Diaby was immense. Really think he's got the ability to become a top player, and the humility and workrate to actually get there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Watching the highlights yet again. This guy's passing is outstanding. The ball in for Tolani for what would have been his second was fantastic. Also was the one to play Miggy in behind when he should have rolled across for Isak. Sees a pass this guy. Very underated part of his game. Edited August 13, 2023 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 4th foul being a booking for Cash was ridiculous but he’s absolutely on one this season and I can’t wait for him to lift the roof of SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 His passing and movement are fucking outstanding. Today was like his debut where he was moving dynamically and trying to make things happen. For some reason that ebbed out of his game last season but it's clearly all still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 A lot of clubs run on data and I feel like this guy must score very highly on that front too as Chelsea were linked and even bid 50m for him last summer which was turned down. That’s chelsea who are buying the worlds best youngsters so we need to respect he defo has something even if he is not the sexiest name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
