Doing that with Elanga and Gordon either side would give us a lot of attacking threat. Hall inverting into midfield to get an extra person in there with Bruno.

He was decent tonight.

Yeah for me, we need to get back to a solid defence first and foremost. Need to get our dickhead attitude back. Fast paced vertical football. The main issue is the players are knackered.

Definitely. He clearly lacked the desire to shoot. But I don’t think the movement of his team mates helped him.

On that occasion I don’t think it was a great chance to shoot. The entire defence was straight in front of him. Barnes had run straight in front of him and Elanga closed towards him rather than pull wider to with get space himself or create space for Nick.

The movement of his team mates was brutal.

Based off the team sheet, it’s definitely not.

No. No it’s not.

Why was it an emotional evening for Konate?

I’m not sure if that is that big a deal these days for premier league clubs. Wages are higher than anywhere else and players know they can kick off and force a move if need be.

How about they both look at each others’ records.

We have Monaco or Qarabag with the second leg at home. We should be considered favourites.

They won’t like him on Sky regularly. Too tall. Will affect cameras.

Yeah he’s a very important player for us. Leaders like that go very under-appreciated.

Newcastle were excellent after a rough start. Settled in, defended well and created some chances on the break. Could have won it, but so be it. We take the play offs and move on.

Delighted for Willock. He’s done alright tonight.

We are miles off their level. But so are most teams. Every single player is technically excellent, athletic and pacy. And their movement and passing is top drawer.

He has to perform in training and in matches to earn his place in the team. Just like everyone else. The manager needs to tell him he hasn’t performed well enough and that’s why he’s not getting picked.

Very impressive.

Yeah he’s said it a few times.

Did Pique steal this opinion from you?

One of our main issues is we are sloppy with the ball when we try to attack with pace. Far too many misplaced passes this season. Not enough players making good off the ball movements.

He was glorious for those first few months.

He’s one we should have been looking at ourselves. Good player.

Robot wars was one of my favourites.

He’d be dreadful.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness...

Yeah for sure. I’d be happy with 2 signings. One who can cover RB and RCB and one who can cover LB and LCB.

Wages will be very high and I’m always wary of taking players who are surplus at top clubs. Often don’t have the hunger and fight.

They need to push on with things like this. These don’t affect PSR(or whatever they’re calling it these days) and show the players we have and those we’re trying to sign that we are looking to progress as a club.
