A few players have started the season with a flurry of goals, if they are still scoring consistently at Christmas then they can be considered cutting the mustard. Yeah thats a valid point. However not many people can do that against van dijk and Robertson Robertson some of the best defenders in the world. He looks quick, good in the air, strong, can finish and his fitness is incredible. He has a engine chasing every ball down. I think we have a good one here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Its fair to say that Wilson was a good signing for Newcastle, to the point that he will keep them clear of relegation, but Watkins was a better signing for us and has a far higher ceiling.

villalad21 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm glad they are staying up. Newcastle should be an easy 6 points in the bag every season. As long as Bruce is still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Don’t know Bruce’s record to be honest against United but I always felt he used to instruct his teams sit off them and well they always seem to get beat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the top teams want you to do. Our approach against Liverpool was just incredibly brave and ballsy. F***ing love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos it was annoying the fact the barcodes were struggling for points last season and they went on to beat them and turned a mini corner. One of the Longstaff scored I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his tactic against pretty much everyone, to be fair. Home tie against a lower league team? "All men behind the ball and keep it tight lads. I reckon we can nick a goal on the break."

osmark86 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 with such inspirational, free-flowing modern football you would hope to see Newcastle remain a source of inspiration for other teams flowing into the prem for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
