    I think there is too much emphasis on him being a home grown player.

    He’s not that good. I can’t remember anything he had done.

    He’s young. But he should be out on loan.

    If Howe keeps the experiment going. Disaster.

    I just can't see how Newcastle can keep the pace at the top the current top 4 don't lose games unless playing 3 each other and newcastle lose to them all. Newcastle are not quite beating the big clubs.

    I agree. He's not the answer.

    Young but so is Gordon. Compare thr levrls of ability. Gordon is a special player; Anderson isn't and won't be.

    Anderson had played less a good 60 games less mind. I don't think they played badly today had 65% possession 10 shots to 5.

    West Ham did absolutely nothing if anything Pope cost them coming out for no reason for the 1st goal

    We'll need better players in a few areas, but right now they're forced to play the bare bones.

    I'd have to agree but they'll need to put a 4 game winning streak together to get back in the race for top 4 and I don't think they can while playing in the champions league

    Just watching the Arsenal Man City game. That tackle from Kovecic. Definite red card.

    Mystifying compared to the Liverpool red. VAR is a complete joke.

    How the hell is Kovacic on the field?

    Two mistakes gifted them a point. Pope will be replaced long term.

    Yeah Pope is a liability in all areas apart from probably the most important, but you can't keep having these spaz moments.

    Why did Almiron go off for Murphy? He's absolutely gutless

    Pope isn’t great at most things and it’s now emerging that a new goalkeeper may be a priority.

    Is Karius any worse?

    Pope has been poor this season.

    And combined with the second tackle, at least 2 yellow cards. But I agree, the first one should have been enough for a red card by itself.

    Think we are doing fine. Point away at the Hammers is not an easy feat and we should have won.

    We ofc need players, but that's not a news flash.

    Just seen the miss from Isak with the open goal.

    Was a tight angle. He scored two. Unlucky.

    We are so close. We have two players that need replaced to be a proper top constant challenger.

    We can do this.

    We'll win our next 10 and get out of our CL group.

    Could be worse. Losing 4-0 at home to Boro is embarrassing given they are ****e.

    Unfortunately when keepers make mistakes it's usually a goal buy the defender's can't rely on him passing it to him and he does have a habit of rushing out for no reason.
