I’m guessing he is a confidence player, and with the team he’s in no he can play to his best.

 

Bitter sweet is sort of means the end of Fabian.

Let’s welcome the depth. 
 

 

Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen Thiaw and Botman with our first choice wingers. But I still prefer Schar x Burn in defence. Maybe it’s the cup win. But I have a sense of some intangible element that just makes them rock solid together. Like yeh on paper Thiaw and Botman are better players.  But Fabby just finds a way and Burn doesn’t lose important headers.

Which center-back pairing would you favor?

Thiaw/Botman

Thiaw/Burn

Botman/Burn

 

Eddie/Howe...

This is the secret to your defensive success. Last season Schar and Burn looked like Vidic and Stam.

If Howe can make a bold decision for the attack too, he'll become my manager of the century.

The more I read your comments here, the more unbelievable I find that Nagelsmann didn't nominate him for the national team.

Is Nagelsmann blind?

Selfishly I don't mind it.

 

Bruno, Wolte, Gordon - seem to be getting minutes while players from bigger clubs get rests in Intl football. It stinks.

Is it possible he or the people on his coaching staff just didn't watch many Newcastle games until recently? I guess with Woltemade here now that excuse is no longer relevant though.

The only possible explanation. If Malick isn't nominated next time, then the coach and his staff are truly blind.

Tell you something - Como could've gotten themselves a cracking player!


Speaking of, would love Nico Paz. Not very realistic now though. I mentioned him last season. Think RM have first option/buy back on him though.

Think I might agree.  Guehi is extremely composed. At the highest level that counts for a lot. Thiaw has a rashness that needs to be ironed out a bit. 
 

But at his best Thiaw can do nearly everything Guehi can do + a beast in the air. 


Worth noting Guehi has looked dreadful against us a couple of times at SJP. Been done for strength and positioning numerous times. Not even on about the own goals, either. 
 

Where Guehi comes into his own, is his distribution off both feet. Criminally underrated when it comes to his passing. Possibly the best in the league?

I don't like Guehi physically beyond his pace. Much prefer Thiaw.

 

But I like Guehi's composure and leadership. Intangibles.

On the ball he reminds of Ruud Gullit when he played out his days in the heart of the Chelsea defence

 

Remember when he played for us in a pre season friendly (against Reading I think). He was absolutely sublime. Best player on the pitch by a mile!

Gullitt at his peak would have been an all time great in pretty much every position. Just an incredible footballer. Incredible that he played with van Basten, Baresi, Maldini, and Rijkaard. Unbelievable team of all time greats.

 

And Donadoni, Ancelotti, Tassotti...an unrepeatable team. They would have easily won against the Milan of the mid-2000s.

Before my era but my dad absolutely crows at the mention of Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Maldini, Baresi etc.
