Sad if true. If we're that wooden in set-up no wonder we don't get goals ( even allowing for the sitters missed by B&B, weekly ).

Good post. Brought in by Farhad. Money. I thought the way he dressed with his everton polo shirt outside his suit jacket looked a joke, too.

Harry Kewell, Dimitar berb. Matt Le tiss. Darren Anderton A few decent silky, jinky forward-sometimes-winger types. He's not as good as any of them, granted.

I've not seen those games ( I've missed a few this season), but was pleased he got a run last season. If he's not clicked with Moyes and it's 'one of those' where he's faded, fair enough - that's disappointing. There's a useful player in there.

Haha I get your point. What I'm saying is he could go that way. Right now he's a player we could use ( dreading a Jack / Ndiaye spell on the sidelines ). Plenty of players without burning pace do well especially with decent delivery, which he has. Since Beto and Barry don't look set to skin...

I don't get the anti McNeil vibes. The guy isn't the kind of MARAUDING Walker/Reece James/ TTA machine right back who's a threat going forward. Or our own Leighton Baines / Seamus of times yore. Understood. But he has been good when given a run). He's skillful, offers decent balls in (...

Used to rate Adidas. Quality has taken a bit of hit, but they're ok. Puma trainers more 'Street' these days, if anyone else still says that. Comfy as, too. For balance, I've got an ANCIENT pair of samba's I still use for kick arounds on our estates all weather/ tarmac courts. And they're ideal...

Shearer volley. Di Canio volley, the man utd kids overhead, he's since defected to Chelsea

4-4-2. Grealish and Ndiaye either side of Rohl and gana. B&B upfront. Charly to pep things up for whichever is worse in the 2nd half ( could be a fan phone-in, to generate even more profit than the boiling / over priced nachos I tried at the Villa game*) Dibling, Tim to provide legs to see...

Any chance of two together for Newcastle?

Very attack minded line up, nice. Where do we freshen up 2nd half? It's probably B&B on for whomever, I wish he'd play them together in a good old 4-4-2.

I said the same thing about Beto not quite making that header first half... Small moments could have helped us (there were a couple of worldie blocks from Spurs) but they were better, too

Leeds was grim, Villa uninspiring. Our average form during a soft run of fixtures and the positive Brighton game, are now in their correct light. We're still a bottom half team: - Strange, slow summer business - Moyes perennial slow start - long term gaps in our squad ( Lb, RB, CD, CF ) -...

Good shout.

I wanna believe in this lad, as much much as I still think there's more goals in Beto ( how could there be less, right?). I think there's two factors our front two are poor: 1. Confidence, comes with goals 2. Our movement and creating chances I don't think either looks likely to skin and jink...
