I just think that Raya has a different technique. He wants to be able to reach the very corner of the goal so he goes earlier. A risk that hasn’t worked yet.

And that could be it. Anyone but Arsenal.
We don’t know what goes on in the tunnels and after the games and we might’ve pissed a lot of people off.

I feel like a bit of an idiot and think that I’m naïve to believe there isn’t something behind it.
As you say, it could be a simple as bias and dislike for Arsenal.
Perhaps mixed in with incompetence

I fear JDP has been figured out.
More so on the attacking side as its demand for structure causes predictability.
Defensively we are still very solid which is seen by goals conceded rarely being mistakes or avoidable.

I would be very, very surprised if he doesn’t push for a move. Newcastle are years behind Arsenal and he doesn’t have to give his best years to a project that has an ambition just to win a small cup and get top four
