T. I cannot understand how you get manager after manager playing bad players then somehow expecting some miracle to happen. Murphy, bad. Fraser, bad. Anderson, looks promising. So ****ing play Anderson. Bit like Manyoo and Maguire. The instant they dropped the clueless oaf results improved. How many managers did he see off though?!
I am a bit worried about this match. Without Bruno and Maxi we don't offer a great deal going forward. Isak will be a phenomenal player once we get everyone back but he will be starved of chances until then. When is Shelvey back? He is quite important to how we play given his range of passing.
Let's not forget Bournemouth have beaten 2 sides so far. There's not one easy game in this league and if a side is missing their best players it won't be any easier that's for sure. Things have changed and much like pre Palace the fans have started to expect rather than hope which has come too soon imo.
Eddie verrry cagey about Bruno and ASM being ready for this one in the presser. He pretty much dismissed it as the very first question and didn't really answer it. Surprised the reporters didn't probe him more on it, they just seemed happy for him to side step it.
I love it. He is being very coy and clever. Regardless of the team, I trust who he puts out is the best he could have done. Nervous about the game as I would be gutted with a draw but we shall see what happens. If Bruno plays, we win!
Here’s sometging to cheer DPP up: Jonjo is making good progress. He's out on the grass running and he's looking good.
Fraser is one of these players that's never done a damn thing anywhere yet fans keep telling me he made a few good crosses once. Longstaff is always showing signs of getting back to form.... He's of course always been ****e. Jonjo is a great passer of the ball with about 1 assist all season every season.
if you look at the Crystal Palace game Longstaff was playing the ball about much better. Set up a great chance for Almiron and also set him free on the right with a great reverse ball that spilt their defence apart. He was also very unlucky with the header. Its a pity we can't somehow combine Willock and Longstaff into one central midfielder with pace and an eye for a pass.
The day when Newcastle no longer have to call on Fraser longstaff Murphy and tbh Wood will be the day nufc start to compete over seasons. I actually like longstaff he's out there giving 100%, but the bloke is made of lead. Willock has a few shockers, but imo has had some motm performances back end of last season and this , but he'll never get the nod down to favoritism. Fraser I don't get at all he offers nothing either offensively or defensively, but fans think he's great no matter how many times they witness his uselessness. At least max does it once in 4 or 5 games.
