That’s what we want….Bruno ** NOW WITH ADDED EXTRA GOALSCOARING** and Harvey Barnes are going to reel both these gimps in…I’ve cast the runes, it’s all appeared before me…we’ll get a point at the Emirates and beat Maidstone United in the semi final of the cup and Liverpool in the final in Klopp’s last ever game as Liverpool manager

You’re unwilling to accept Howe’s selections. I am. That’s it 🤷🏻‍♂️

You don’t. But if you don’t want counter points whilst accepting that your general comments have some accuracy I’d suggest you don’t really understand message boards as well as balance in team selection and keeping changing rooms as happy as possible

You know all the reasons, you appear to be unwilling to accept that things aren’t going to be perfect, or even as good as last season, despite many people saying before a ball was kicked that this season might not be as good as last. One thing is for sure, that point probably doesn’t hinge purely on who’s playing left back.

We said all this last night Read what I’ve said, I largely agree. I also see what Howe is doing or trying to do in the absence of his first choice midfield. It’s called perspective and seeing both sides. Am a massive fence sitter. I often vote Lib Dem ☺️

So the ball being dinked over midfield yet again last night doesn’t count because Elanga out paced not only Dan Burn but our other defenders too?.. All I’m trying to say is football isn’t binary…. Howe might now be compensating for a more pourus back line by letting Bruno off his leash a bit more. See how this works?…

No! Football has to be perfect! It has to be 1 + 2 = 3. It’s not played and coached by human beings with all their idiosyncrasies, foibles and habits, it’s done by robots who should do exactly what you program them to do and you’ll get perfect results 🤓 PS Livramento started at left back for the 4-1 defeat at Spurs and the 3-1 defeat at Everton. Can someone please explain why we got beat in these games with the player who people are claiming to be the key to unlocking footballing glory beyond our wildest dreams ACTUALLY STARTING THE GAMES??!! 🤯

I can tell you why Burn starts, it’s because no fucker lets 10k whingeing unqualified big girls blouses tell them how to do their job. Oh and Tino covers four positions from the bench. You don’t have to agree, but this is the reality of the issue, Tino’s adaptability is why he’s not starting . Howe was criticised for being too loyal to certain players at Bournemouth and it’s showing here too. I can just about put up with it because I can see Howe is performing a balancing act, what he’s losing on the swings he must feel that he’s gaining on the roundabouts…

The only real aberration since they beat us on Boxing Day has been Luton, yes Liverpool twatted us; “quelle fuckin surprise” as they say…. we gave Man City a reasonable game for an hour…. We’ve been ok, far better than in December

That kids fuckin brilliant. I can’t understand anyone criticising him

Seen them given…

Wasn’t that under Steve Bruce though??.. it’s almost not worth mentioning

It absolutely is . Eddie hasn’t changed the way we’ve played despite not having the personnel to do it as we did last season . On a brighter note

Yep. And Joe W. I mentioned this before kick off.

I gave you an open goal there Mr “I want a defensive midfielder NOW!” and you’ve basically passed it across goal to an opposition player

So how much cover in midfield did Dan Burn get?… we’re still suffering from teams dinking it over the top of the press…

Fuckin badge kisser

One of the greatest lines ever committed to song in the history of popular music

Tbh would you let 1000s of completely unqualified reactionary twats tell you how to do your job? Am not suggesting Elanga won’t torture Burn but how many times do games fail to pan out the way we think?… Thought Burn did well v Saka twice last season, he got help though. With Gordon on that side we are weaker than with either one or both of the Joes…

Dan Burn is odds on to start. Tino covers 4 positions from the bench. Simple as that. Gordon is in the squad apparently but Wilson starts iyam …

Current mood

I think if I keep them in the Gste/Bigg Market area in general we should be ok

Well it’s not for me , that’s why am not properly sure where to go …. I’d rather go to the Bodega or spend the night down Ouseburn but that’s not your average punters idea of what a night out in Newcastle is about as AH says….
