[PaddockLad 19013]

Form is temporary, Newcastle United are for life

 

Lets see what happens over Christmas…and lets face it, thank god it’s Christmas 😀

Lineker interviewed Howe after our game was shown on MOTD, in case anyone hasn't seen it.

It's embedded in the beeb match report.

Watching on Motd, why was Burn's goal knocked off. Pretty sure the assist came from a blue shirt. 

What a win though, without big Joe as well.

Came off Longstaff last.

I thought the same

[Dr Gloom 23642]

He also looked level on the lane with the Villa defender but who cares? Burn saw the funny side which is easier to do when you’re four up in the 90th minute 

[Dazzler 11820]

Nah there was one angle where the touch was blatantly off longstaff’s boot. The rest were extremely unclear.

 

At that point I’d already put away 8 cans though so could well have imagined the whole thing.

I thought so too but even if that was the case it was a deflection rather than the player deliberately playing it. I think that's how it works now. 

Of course I may be talking bollocks. 🙂

Has anyone actually said that?…. Apart from me obvs   
 

It’s taken Eddie some time to come up with a system to get the best out of him and Bruno….

all it took was putting both in their best positions instead. It’s pleasing to see we’ve finally put the argument about us only winning/looking balanced when Sean plays to bed

Added to the fact Gordon is back on the left and we have a functional RW at RW, it all adds up, it's not just a Bruno/Sandro tweak.

If I’d said to you what is Tonali’s best position a month ago what would you have said? He’d never put a dominant performance in for us at any stage and now after three very good performances  I’ve read on three occasions since Saturday that he’s world class  

 

I hope to fuck he is world class but let’s not start sucking each other off until we see how he gets on v McGinn, Tielemans and Onana on Thursday

I would agree, Gordon looks much happier down the left. Murphy does provide balance down the right and has contributed well in this run against the lesser teams. I think the general turnaround in form is massively down to getting Tonali in the team. We’ve looked loads better with him starting in the deeper central midfield role ever since the Chelsea cup game. Teams are no longer playing through our midfield and how nice is it to have two central midfielders capable of passing the ball forwards?

Brentford and Leicester reserves, and an abysmal Ipswich side. Let’s see how the season goes

Central midfield? That’s where he played for Milan, though I gather they play with two in there rather than three so I think his natural game is to sit deeper like his is for us at the moment to brilliant effect. 
 

I don’t know about you but I’m delighted to see Bruno playing further forwards again like he did when he first signed for us. We finally have some creativity again in central positions for our forwards to feed off instead of Sean, love him, taking three or four touches before passing it sideways.

“Central midfield”  mate, you, me Eddie mad dog and the world and his wife didn’t see much in him till just over a week ago.  Nothing would give me greater pleasure than this side playing to its potential and proving doubters like myself wrong.

If you read that article Waugh wrote about Bunce, that Wyki posted in the NUFC general chat thread, I reckon Tonali didn't get game time because he wasn't at "peak" fitness, he is now, and we're seeing the results.
