Feel like there was quite a few positives for Newcastle fans to take out of last night to be honest.

 

1) They seem to have accidentally discovered their best formation due to the sending off (4-3-3 going forwards)

2) The quick dynamic thinking of the management team to go 4-3-2 after the sending off, rather than sit into a negative 5-3-1 that absolutely would have happened under Bruce! 

3) Shelvey and Joelinton look like different players under Howe.

 

Yep, they're still rooted, but a win against Burnley and things will look brighter for sure. 

 

 

 

 

You are so right about those two players! Shelvey has always had something about him, but his application has always been sh*te, whereas Joelinton has just simply been total shi*te. But, wow, yesterday he was like superman for 90 minutes - never gave up chasing. Superb performance.

You get these early positive signs but usually they dwindle. I guess all the potential earnings is a big motivator for some... but really shows them for what they are

Love this, so true. 

 

 

Always enjoyed his commentaries. 

A few years ago, I took my former kiwi housemate to a 0-0 at the KP against some relegation fodder. It was probably one of the worst live games I've ever seen but still enjoyed it. He absolutely loved it. 

[The Bear]

Same. One of the very few PL games I've witnessed that wasn't a Wolves game was a with a mate who took me to Villa Park to see them play Wigan. An incredibly dour 0-0!! Never been back again

Outstanding commentary on the Everton v Liverpool game! Ally McCoist really should be on the big games

Goodison Park must be toxic right now.

[HybridFox]

Benitez is gonna get sacked just before they play us isn't he

Sounds livid right now, 4-1 down, bottles being thrown, fans chucked out.

 

Liverpool fans now chanting Benitez's name.

[adam]

Not looking good for Rafa.lovely goal though 

[KFS]

Yeah Benitez getting the chop here

[AjcW]

Liverpool Are a joy to watch aren’t they. Reminding me of Barcelona 2004-2012 era. Harlem Globetrotters on a football level.

Will the 28th be even more of a massacre than 2019? I am petrified seeing their attack up against our defence

Everton looking rubbish yet again after another summer of being hyped by everyone

Everton haven't got the ability to spend to turn it around either.

Wonder how many of them will play, or allowed to play before going to AFCON? 

 

They have Chelsea a couple of days after us.

[RowlattsFox]

Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City are all outstanding this season. Or is everyone else just shite? 

 

They are all different as well which makes it quite interesting.

They are confident of getting the players available for the 28th. We will go into tortoise formation mode against them and probably lose by a couple. Learnt our lesson I think finally against them.

What's the odds of all of Benitez, Dyche and Ranieri being sacked come next weekend or even before..

Why would Dyche be sacked?

[ARM1968]

We’re 5pts off 5th and we’ve been utter shite so far this season. Put a run together and we could knock on that door again.

Mix of both I reckon. Top 3 is already sorted.

He certainly could be if they lose at St. James' Park at the weekend.

They'll more than likely have a clear-out in May, with quite an ageing squad.
