    No idea. I don’t know the rules.

    I don't think he hates it but he's certainly scared of playing them

    He brings them in at the right time, shoving a youngster in at the deep end very rarely pays off especially with Newcastle. Miley is the only notable youngster since Carroll that's made a difference.

    He's a brilliant man manger with limited players at his disposal hopefully summer sees a few top class players come in.

    Or he could get things wrong because he's human.

    Yesterday changes were needed at half time.

    He went with willock and trippier in the end when Miley and Botman were possibly the obvious ones

    Disagree. Miley came in as he had literally no other option.

    He's had Murphy on the bench half the season but when shove came to push he refused to put him on.

    I'm not blaming him given certain vocal sections of our fans

    I've been hearing people blaming Joelinton. It must have passed them by, but once Joelinton got a yellow card Fulham had control. The others were winning NOTHING

    I posted at half time yesterday saying Joelinton was a big reason behind our success so far actually.

    The change when it came was bad.

    He looked a bit worse for wear.. Probably just tired and he took one to the achillies.

    He was the only reason Newcastle had any control in the game.. He took them out a few times but if he'd let them go they'd say he was being a lazy ****.. Made one sloppy pass to Schars 15 I think.

    People need to look what's going on more... How much are midfield being asked to do? The two cb leave massive holes getting dragged all over the pitch or they just give the ball away. The fwds are miles away from midfield at times because the midfielders are too busy helping the back line.

    Preaching to the wrong guy. Botman in for Burn and a replacement for Schar needed urgently.

    It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, but it's good to know others are aware of the real issue.

    It's definitely a thing where people just almost ignore what's going on at CB because they probably just don't understand how what they do impacts everything from front to back.

    I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with it.. All anyone seems to care about is rw.. The cbs are **** man.

    So is the keeper. For whatever reason, Howe disagrees or doesn’t see it.

    Would make a fantastic partner for Botman

    I don't understand why Vlachidimos doesn't get a game. Better than Pope and Dubravka.

    Correct and both our keepers have massive flaws... It can't be like that they have it be solid in all areas.

    Botman and Tomori would be a massive upgrade.

    We struggle with high press when Schar and Burn start.

    Somebody give Howe a slap.
