    You came on saying it was the worst tackle ever. The tackle was so high that the lads toes were hurt. That was where the injury was. You also stated he got a straight red card, which you now claim should have been a straight red card. You've been proved wrong on every single pearl of wisdom you decided to share on here.

    Massive high deadly challenge.

    Worst tackle in history.

    2nd Yellow not straight red.

    Tindall not Joelinton starting on official.

    When your wrong your wrong.

    He's still better at headers than Wood and more mobile than Shlevey <laugh>

    Entertaining game. Trips as good as we know, hoping Miggy can take this into the season but i doubt it.

    Love combative midfielders but Bruno and Joe need to be careful, can't be doing that in league games.

    Thought Bondswell looked tidy.
    Schar and Botman is good but the drop in quality to Lascelles and Burn is a bit worrying.

    Actually wondering what peoples thoughts are here. We are less than 2 weeks off the first game of the season and we are still pissing about with 45 minutes a half for a mixed up side for each half?

    WTF is that all about!???

    He cost us a lot of goals last season even though he did start well and helped keep us up.

    He just isn't the required quality moving forward.

    We really need Schar and Botman to stay fit.

    I agree. Maybe Burn is over compensating for Botmans arrival.

    Lascelles had a howler aswell.

    Only Chris Wood can. And he needs to show us all this. It's up to him.

    Its called pre-season, which is about experimenting with different set-ups, giving the whole squad game time and ensuring everyone is up to speed when the season starts. That the players get used to playing with different squad members as they will likely have to do that during the season due to injuries.

    Oh and as its a friendly the result is meaningless so its absolutely the best time to give some of the promising youngsters a chance to show how they can play with the first team.

    You want the first team squad coming into that first PL match fit, fresh and raring to get started, not already feeling the effects of nearly 1/5 of a seasons worth of friendlies.

    Calm down and trust in the process.

    So...is Miggys pre season form making anyone a little less worried about that right hand side? His confidence must at least be up which can't be a bad thing.

    I would like to see him given a run from the start. Always admire his work rate and think he brings a lot to the team. If he can start scoring and creating more its all good.

    Newcastle need another rw.. Almiron and another one is better than almiron and then Murphy.

    Newcastle are really lacking in depth and quality in fwd areas.

    This new defence isn't exactly looking great either. There's no pace in it whatsoever and teams will exploit it.

    I hope they can last the 90 then. Also they need to play as a unit and a first 11 be selected. To get used to playing with each other.

    We still have two to go. I don’t need to calm down either mate. I am calm. What you stated is quite obvious. And you didn’t seem to get my point.

    Yes. Miggy can make that right side his own.

    From the evidence so far Striker and CM in that order for me.
