    Eddie. I’m telling you. Never ever play Gordon up front again.

    Honestly can't see what he's trying to do with this squad.

    Not just today.

    Eddie keeps making these mistakes at this level.

    It’s not going to change. Gordon up front when you have a 69m striker on the bench is bonkers.

    And Barnes. Get rid he’s ****.

    I’ve long had no idea. He stands by Schar and pope and burn and trippier and Barnes purely on loyalty. He did the same **** to take Bournemouth down. The bloke has no clue how to evolve a squad. Nearly half a billion spent and this is where we are? Mental.

    Howe isn’t learning. I’m sorry chaps but he isn’t getting any better.

    The season start has been tepid.

    He needs to start getting things right and quick.

    When the side picked itself we didn't have this nonsense.

    Nah I think it’s part of the evolution to be honest, but what Howe is showing is he can’t be trusted to improve the squad.

    Suspect we won’t qualify from the first stage.

    Essentially the balance of this Newcastle side isn't right, hasn't been all season, and the huff and puff nature of Howes philosophy will always been countered with good football.

    This is what some have meant by plodders. It’s just huff and puff. Two midfielders have outplayed our three. Even Tonali can’t hold a candle to Pedro and De Jong in this match.

    He’s not ever going to learn. He started Gordon up front again. He’s terrible there.

    Barnes. Against Barca. How many chances.

    Elanga was our best player. He takes him off.

    Howe is making stupid ****ing mistakes. Week in and week out.

    The subs against Wolves nearly threw the game.

    We have createeld decent chances, but we've just had the wrong players on the pitch to finish them.

    This Gordon at CF and Barnes playing is utter garbage. We all know it. So why persist wirh it? I get that Woltemade might not be fully fit, but START with the best 11 and THEN make subs when they get tired, not the other way around. This isn't rocket science FFS.
