He’s got one more season here. Not like he’s on a 5 year contract.

How many years has he been here already? Far too many. The best time to not have him play for us was when we bought him and any moment from now on will be good too.

I don't know, he is what he is and we need his experience to stay up again this year, the inexperienced alternatives are not fantastic either

Whenever I watch him play, that goal against Bournemouth astounds me more and more
Fixed that for you

Just like Gareth Farrelly.
Seem to lose possession for fun tonight. Can't play deep as he does nothing well apart from run around

Staggers me on a weekly basis the lack of technical ability this man has. He can barely control the ball and pass it if a player is even within 10 yards of him. The times he does, its like he's going through treacle (like most of our team).
Each team's midfield looked like they were playing different sports tonight.

Really, really, really bad with the football.
Quite often really, really good when we don’t have it.
No coincidence we’ve picked up 5 points now with him back in there.
Iroegbhunam, Dixon etc. might be fantastic, but you don’t throw them to the wolves in a relegation fight and you certainly don’t prioritise their development over us staying in the league ffs.

How he never gets subbed is a mystery breathing out of his backside again near the end - contributed very little again ...

He’s abysmal with the ball but his press is intelligent and he is very good in a low block with the way he shuts off lanes.
Honestly how people can’t see why he’s in there astounds me. 5 points now with him there, 0 without. It’s all about balance, Iroegbhunam and Garner far better footballers for example, nowhere near as disciplined in there.
He’s not the answer at all but we grind out results with him in there. That’ll have to do until we can reset the squad properly and balance it out.

I was thinking he didn't score v them it was Keane and DCL...and then realised you're talking about May 2023!
Yes an iconic goal but it was 18 months ago. Bit like saying Farrelly should still be playing in 2000 for scoring v Coventry when he'd pretty much been moved out by that point.
Same for Doucs.
If you put Doucoure in newcastles midfield they would get relegated
So let me get this straight ?
You don’t play your young players that are good ? Because we are in a relegation battle and it’s not good for them?
So you continue to play your crap players ? Meaning your more likely a to be in a relation battle ?
Which in turn jeopardises the safely of the club?
So the players are better off watching crap each week from the bench? The club is better off playing its carp players?
Why not play your young players so they can improve like brathwaite did ?
Bare in mind that McNeil played in relation battles when he was young , and was only 21 last season , garner was young last season, brathwaite was young last season and all playing in a relegation scrap.
Doucs being on the football pitch is a mask e liability … end of
