    You’re right he was but I think Joelinton was the worst.

    Not many played well to be fair.

    Here's a question for the board.

    Given Newcastle were one of the top scoring sides in he league last season why is the manager changing the front 3?

    It certainly hasn't worked so should he just get back to what works?

    Hall was poor yesterday. Only Tonali, Schar and Burn were any good yesterday

    He was the one that had the effort of goal on 44 mins mind..well according to stat's but it was basically a header that hit a defender lol

    He's not being used where he was doing well.. Like a few others tbh.

    Just get back to what worked

    More international games for those top players and as we play just the danger players over and over again they are just back to being knackered. If we had more quality on the bench then more rotation could happen

    Gordon on the left. Joelinton in the middle.

    Murphy on the right.

    If players are in their best positions I wouldn't be so critical and really it shouldn't matter who is playing if a side if not having a shot on goal at any level that is appallingly bad.

    A PE teacher wouldn't have that.

    I'd rather that than Barnes right wing.

    Get Gordon left and keep him there.... almiron as much **** as he gets is better on the right than Barnes

    I agree but since we don't have a right winger then Gordon needs to stop being a diva (remember Dyer) and play. The issue is not necessarily about right positions as they all are interchangeable during the game. They look knackered again. Why? Like I said in my previous post is that I believe the extra international games where Isak and Gordon are actually playing and not resting along with not having any options to rotate like the bigger clubs

    Same. But Howe won’t. He’s stubborn.

    Do you rate Howe. Honest question.

    I’m just bored of this Newcastle, Howe had his best possible XI available and we looked dire. No plan, no excitement, no energy, no joy. We are sleepwalking and it’s just so dead. We are probably one season away from a relegation battle on the current trajectory, but what’s really sad is I don’t give a toss, there’s just nothing interesting about this club. I think I’m done for now.

    We do have a right winger...not the best but can do well there

    Can't agree mate all this interchanging has made the situation worse. Barnes right wing? His one strength is cutting in from the left and shooting... Gordon is the same actually just better in other areas and not as good at shooting

    International breaks and whatever but that side was completely dysfunctional and it is unlikely to ever work under any circumstances.

    The cbs ?.no matter what occurs nobody seems to value that position when it comes to pushing uo the pitch and how that impacts everything possible in front of them. Schar? I'm with you he's not great at all... slows everything down.

    I'd like two cbs and a rw but right now the issue is the manager I think.

    Yes but I think the influx of behind the scenes people and no discernible incoming players has made us a tad stale. I think Bunce has had a major impact on training.

    I personally believe that the club expected to sell Bruno. That would have given us the funds to keep Anderson, Minteh and buy in a right winger. Tonali would have been the no6.

    Howe like Roland has always said is never going to change systems. The guy said we playerd well and were unlucky Yesterday.

    He's done well, but right now he's doing really badly and I feel sorry for Barnes! I could see how hard he was trying in his eyes, but the manager has played him in a position that removed his strength.

    Howe simply should either get back to what works or do something different imo.

    We were competing with them a month ago yes, and beat them.

    Saying we lost to a team and then that team got hammered is moronic by anyone's standards, each game is different. So by your logic, we beat Nottingham Forest comfortably, who beat Liverpool, so we should be expecting to comfortably beat Liverpool then.
