I agree. Mac Allister & Gravenberch won’t be fit all season. I do like Jones, I also find him very frustrating - he takes too long and goes backwards too often. Szoboszlai needs to pull his finger out. He might run about a lot, he’s too lax on the ball. I get the impression he isn’t the most intelligent player.

Don’t agree with that. Mac Allister has been very good in an understated way, he’s also being more closely marked this season. Szoboszlai though… I completely agree with that. I think Jones should start in that #10 position on Weds.

Did he take over form Villas-Boas? They weren’t great under him. Still, I’d settle for winning the CL at the end of the season.

Players improving with coaching? Blasphemy.

Although there are 32 games to go, the answer is yes.

I think I agree. Has their been any coaches who had great starts and then fell away the more they coached the players and changed it? Not saying it will happen to Slot, genuine question. Can’t really remember it with the bigger clubs, although taking over from a good position isn’t a normal situation.

Not sure Konate can complain after their goal and his performance for the 10 mins afterwards! Personally, I think Alisson should have collected it, however, Konate’s performance was rocked afterwards. Probably both at fault.

Poor performance. Seen this movie too many times before - too easy, lack intensity, drop points - thankfully not today. Learn from it, don’t perform like that next week (either match). Gravenberch has been the best midfielder in the Premiership this season.

No point being upset about Arsenal, we can’t influence it. Win our game and end the weekend 1st.

Apart from City where they were well beat, Chelsea haven’t played anybody yet. Suppose you could say the same about us, 20th October could be a belter.

Exciting. Bring it on.

When Gordon scored, they cut to some old guy with a Gordon flag, I’m sure it had “Antony Gordon, running down the wing, Antony Gordon, the Geordie king” on it. Sad bastards.

Yep.

Tonali must have had a bet on himself to be completely invisible today…

He's definitely not in his best form at the moment.

That goal has completely sucked the air out of Newcastle, not that they were banging on the door anyway.

They’ll still be in the mix for all 4 trophies this season, I do think that City side looks a lot less formidable without Rodri, IMO, he’s the most influential player in the world. No De Bruyne today either. Wish we were playing them today.

Sounds like a few of theirs are sick…

Anyways, Mo is definitely staying…

Unless he has a reasonable release clause, he can likely forget moving to us now…

If the PL win the case, I assume they’ll be able to reclaim some of the costs back from Abu Dhabi.

I think these will come out and play more than Forest did. As StG has said, they’ve have tried to start fast every game this season. Forest fundamentally didn’t want the ball against us. We didn’t help ourselves with the complete lack of tempo we played with, I’d hope tomorrow will be a little more open.

Jota for Nunez and then the rest of the team should be the same as Bournemouth (unless Alisson is fit). I can’t pretend I’ve seen a lot of Wolves this season, isn’t their keeper a bit dodgy with the ball at his feet? If so, we need to be making the most out of that and make them nervous from the start. Just fucking win.

That 3m 30sec intro is a bit much.

Gary Cooper? The strong silent type? I’ve explained my reasons above.
