Match Day Thread Toon vs Burnley

Lewis or Shelvey.

 

The atmosphere at full time inside and outside the ground was great, it was like we'd won something.

 

Imagine WHEN we do, it's going to be mental.

 

A game?

 

How dare you not mention Joelinton.

 

I didn’t get to see the game. How did Miggy play?

 

No idea but the chronicle gave all our players an 8 except for him. They gave Almiron a 9

 

So a proper workhorse performance then.

If only the lad could get some quality to his game.

 

Tbf he had 2 brilliant efforts

 

He did work his ass off and had one shot that was decent, but far too often he did stupid ****. He tried to pass or shoot through the body of other players, it’s bizarre - it’s not like he can’t see them?

Chron being a bit ridiculous. Burnley are dreadful and we scraped a win thanks to a goalkeeping error. Countless set pieces, all of which were crap. Not sure Pope made a save all match.

 

He actually had 3 efforts and would have been great goals.

I think you could see the difference it made when he went off on our right we were all of a sudden under pressure.

He does what we need right now and it's graft imo. Fraser just runs about looking busy by never wins a ball. If almiron had Frasers cross he'd be some player

 

It has definitely begun

 

I didn’t see the game unfortunately but there is a player in there definitely.

Hoping Spurs hammer Norwich today.

 

Can't see Tottenham not winning that

 

He's a grafter, he's got pace and heart which is worth alot right now imo.

 

Did anyone see Ritchie go up to Lewis smiling and say well played mate and then give him a cuddle.

That’s a sign of the squad being in it together.

 

Joelinton takes another motm award

 

Someone said on Twitter and they are quite right. If we had just bought him for 40m pre the Brentford game we would be absolutely delighted with the price tag.

We would be saying we had a bargain.

ASM seems to be the one that is struggling under Eddie?

 

Struggle would possibly be the wrong word, He's a greedy little **** that doesn't pass, doesn't cross and can't score and other teams have sussed this. Let him have the ball, outside the box in the flanks and he won't do much with it. He needs coached on when to pass.

 

Max is still doing OK
