Offside I think
-
Stopping the game for a nutrition break 4 minutes before half time…. Incredible the lack of sense these days 😂
-
Yep. We may not get it right, but we’re stale as fuck under Ralph.
-
I’m a huge fan of his and in terms of ability, he’s got it all. I don’t like the look of his attitude though. that being said, Messi and Ronaldo would struggle in this team. Absolutely no service at all.
-
We’re lucky that Weghorst is a dreadful player. Should be out of sight.
-
We got lucky against Arsenal Tbf. Forster stopped us losing that game.
-
Yep, need Che’s physicality up there for the ball to stick.
-
Yep. Ward prowse is soo overrated it’s untrue. Free kicks aside, he’s all very meh
-
Formation isn’t working. They’re getting in behind far too often.
-
Cork and brownhill looking like Pirlo & zidane against our 2 in there. Very poor.
-
Tbf I don’t think it is because of Ramadan, I did say that, sport science is at a place where they can probably mitigate the effects of the fast and it doesn’t seem to effect any other players. That being said, i find it baffling that clubs just accept that they could miss out on a top 4 or title / relegation due to it.
-
The same Maternity, which is a reduced wage? Yeah kinda the same I guess. Although women don’t usually have roles which their absence could lead to relegation and millions of lost revenue.
-
If he can’t perform to the required level, because of, let’s be Frank, personal choice, Then we shouldn’t be paying him the same as when he can.
-
Doubtful, but if it is, it’s a fucking joke we are letting a multi million pound assets and one of our best players, detriment his performance due to fasting.
-
I think it was a huge job. He basically has changed the full playing style and had a group of players who’s confidence was lower than a snakes belly. The money they’ve spent cannot be ignored, clearly. However, he’s done a great job there. Spunking money doesn’t guarantee success, just look at United & Everton.
-
St Mary’s is the 3rd largest stadium in the competition. They’ve got games at training / academy grounds ffs. The peak of women’s football in Europe, that says all you need to know about the interest in women’s football.
-
Who doesn’t credit that? You’re talking crap. as a side note, have we improved since that initial bounce? 3 years on, I don’t think so. We’re still massively inconsistent. Capable of being very good or total shite. We’ve taken a few pastings in that time as well.
-
To be fair, 99% of the population aren’t in the slightest bit bothered about women’s football. Im sure if people were, then they would have a rivalry, as such.
-
Agreed, over 3/4 of the squad is the same as it was under Bruce who had about 5 points. Its Twar who’s basically saying that they’re only doing well because of money, so basically, 1 player. Personally, I think they’ve brought pretty well and he’s done a great job at transforming their style and gelling the team together. Huge Credit deserved.
-
Twar clearly didn’t rate Tripper or Wood that highly, he was still tipping Newcastle to go down 10 days after Wood signed 😂 And we’ve got ‘mid table’ Perrud, ‘Incredible talent’ Salisu, ‘£60m rated’ JWP, + his known thoughts on Adams, Tino and KWP, better squad than villa etc., yet we’re orver achieving and lucky to stay up…
-
The point I’m trying to make is, if Bruno, valued at £35m, is the reason they are now averaging 2.1 PPG, then why are we only averaging 1.2 PPG when we have a player who (plays in the same position), is apparently worth double that? I use Bruno as an example because the others are very comparable in terms of L4L quality and ones that I think 90% on here wouldn’t have been overly excited about if we’d signed (tripper aside who has been injured).
-
If we’re going to link player value to quality, you rated JWP at about £60m, almost double that of Bruno, yet we haven’t seen the dramatic improvement this season. Tripper has been injured for most of the time he’s been there, so I’ll ignore him, but had you been asked in December if you’d swap Wood for Adams or Salisu or Burn, then I almost certainly suspect you would say no. Everton have one of the most expensive squads outside the top 6, yet despite Rafa the great doing a brilliant job at the start of the season, they still find themselves in a relegation battle. Yes Newcastle have spent, massively overspent on some pretty average players imo, but Howe deserves credit for improving the style and picking up results in the process.
-
Another win for Newcastle. The turnaround since Howe came in has been staggering, not just in results but style as well. I think he’s won something like 35 point. When he came in, they genuinely looked like relegation fodder, now I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re top 10.
-
I heard from someone well placed in the club, that at the time of VVD being offered about to Liverpool / City etc. he was also offered to United and they turned their nose up. Didn’t think he was good enough. I think that sums up how poorly United have brought over the past few years.
-
Not many I’d take from any of them, but Watford have a few exciting attacking players. I suspect they would be out of our reach, but I wonder if we could use A Armstrong as part of the deal to make it more affordable. proven championship striker so would be ideal for a relegated side.
