Late to the party but absolutely immense on Sunday. I'm worried gets banned again for PEDs, he's got some engine, it's almost not fair :lol:

 

Fair play to the bloke for 'paying us back' if you will. Bar the odd game/moment, he's been a solid 7-8/10 every week since he moved to the deeper role in midfield.

 

But seriously, I honestly don't think it's delusional to say we have the best midfield 3 in the league. There's better individuals (Rodri) but I wouldn't swap our 3 for any other in the league, not a chance. Even with Willock and Miley we have a really decent to very good set of midfielders to choose from.

The trio just compliment each other so well and cover any slight weaknesses one may have. Definitely a sum greater than its parts - and the parts are pretty damn good on their own anyway

I wonder what he makes of it all. He doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve as much as someone like Bruno.

He’s still processing it all. It’s one big  tidal wave sweeping him up. He’ll ride it. So pleased to have someone that plays the game with such strength,  technical ability and yet he’s  graceful at the same time. He’s humble too and that’s endearing .

Judging by his reactions on the pitch at full time and afters, he's fully embedded 😍

Just, as you say, quietly enamoured. 

 

I suspect his redemption arc is our's to keep. The shame of his misdemeanours a distant memory, burnt to dust from the glowing reflection from the sun on his Winner's medal. 

 

Much like Bruno, I think the Tyne will be seen as his second home. Looks that way, hopefully.

Now they're just like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail.

Just realised those games on Friday were Nations League QTR finals and the second legs are tonight. Torn between Spain vs. The Dutch (2-2 agg) or Tonali vs. Germany 

 

Begrudgingly going to pay £2.50 for this as the lack of football this weekend has been an absolute killer.
