And quite a few others according to the marks they get for artistic impression..;)

Young has been less active in the dark arts in recent years. Even earned some of my plaudits for an outstanding performance against Sweden just gone. Just jaded and outmatched against Croatia. Overall had the best tournament of his international career as a utility player. But you can argue De Bruyne just walked right in. Then we'd have to start comparing the Bundesliga though.

I wouldn't worry about Jose. I'd be more worried that we're all so far behind City as of now. I feel like Liverpool are the only legitimate challengers. Yet united probably have the second strongest team in the league. Doesn't help that Paul Pogba is determined to become the Premier Leagues most expensive flop. Is it Mourinho or is this guy just not made for the Premier League. He has space and time at international level and in Italy and he was phenomenal.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Sorry but while you may think Liverpool are challengers it relies on Salah delivering again. They looked mediocre against Palace in last game.
They need a really good striker to really challenge as Firmino is not good enough with goals. He never gets 20 goals a season like you get from top strikers that are at the other top teams. They also need to ditch Lovren and get a decent defender to support Van Dijk.
Also consider this one Rodgers had three seasons and delivered no silverware and got the boot. This is Klopps third season so if as is likely they deliver no silverware will he get the boot?

Newcastle are breaking from the inside out. Jamaal Lascelles (Captain, Newcastles best player and a highly sought after player) has slammed Benitez for his negativity and was subsequently dropped from the team. Jamaal flat out refused to play the negative football we came to see just hours ago.

Two games on the bounce now, Newcastle have produced some of the worst football ever seen at a top flight level. It's abysmal to watch. Can't understand why the club is satisfied with being on the brink of disaster. They can not afford another relegation.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Nothing wrong with Benitez as he can only play with the hand he has been dealt adzii and IMO he has been dealt a very poor hand...

Herrera in a back three for Man United..:shocked::scratch:

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Not looking good for Jose on this evidence..

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Not a great result in the end but a lot to be pleased with in the first half. They ran Spurs ragged but I had a feeling that the failure to put away any of the many chances would cost them dear. Once Spurs scored then they left gaps due to chasing the game. 23 attempts on goal but only five on target is a poor return. Still very pleased with Luke Shaws performance, he is slowly getting back to his old self.

Watched the Liverpool game on BT Sports Channel 555, 4K UH definition at the weekend, picture quality was excellent.

Yes l don't think the score line is representative of the match Jim as l had a chuckle when many reporters are saying Man Utd were out outplayed and outclassed in their reports which could not be further from the truth.

Yes it was a lovely picture but alas we struggled to break them down but thankfully we got the three points which one has to be happy with.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie fight in training. Don't worry about beating Newcastle this season. We're doing a good enough job doing it for you.

Thinking of triple capitaining Auergo against you guys

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Can't beat following it all up with an abysmal performance thus far to a mid table championship side.

Newcastle United are falling apart. Not even sure what to say anymore. This team and its depth are shockingly bad. Calling it a Premier league side might just be embarrassing at this point. Dived into the transfer market and spending buttons to replace players with just as mediocre players. Gayle for Rondon makes no sense at all. Whilst selling Mitrovic who's scored more goals than Newcastle in its entirety. As said before, a third relegation would spell absolute catastrophe.

3-1. Conceded two goals to a mid table championship side in added time. There are no words.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

The "mid table championship side" are pretty happy with the result ;)

Here is the Champions League group draw.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Alright so they camp their own half against Chelsea and then play out against City? In the end the result is identical. So causing arguments with the team captain and the subsequent fallout over negative tactics was absolutely pointless and now Benitez has people asking what the deal is.

The reasons for his extensive list of clubs are now seeping through into Newcastle.
