Branthwaite still on the pitch as well. Hopefully means he's okay.

Onana on for Gueye. Good change.

Can't believe it, a sensible and timely Dyche sub. Good sign for the half.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Onana!!!

 

[maccavennie]

UTFT!!!

 

[riddick]

Is this the first time he's made a halftime sub?

 

[blueconverse]

Is that you joey?

Ruddy women *shakes fist*

They've won about six games in the last 12 months or something daft. Dyche has won more than they have since he's taken over here.

you can’t dismiss they’re talent to ours

they’ve had more shots

This is where the abnormal nature of the season is doing my head in.

In "normal" circumstances you just take the 0-0 and move on, 4 points from Newcastle and Chelsea, 21 points and comfortable mid table etc....

Instead the current reality would be just 3 points off Burnley.

Feels like another Newcastle second half is needed just for breathing space but not sure it's in the players legs today and Chelsea will get Sterling on at some stage.

It would still be a good point. We're not even halfway through the season. A win today won't suddenly put us out of trouble, and a loss won't suddenly have us in deep trouble.

Absolutely terrible cross Harrison ffs, sort it.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Harrison and McNeil are having a crap competition

 

[Mrk]

Some of our passing in transition is criminal

 

[Nymzee]

Doucoure is one of the worst footie players I've ever seen in terms of technique.
