Newcastle United fan. Massive Joe Willock ultra.
Was slightly concerned by CL squad restrictions if Longstaff leaves, but turns out, we don’t have 25 players worth registering anyway. Will probably see Krafth/Targett/Lascelles miss out if we make the signings we need. A couple of those may leave anyway. #nufc
Turning the attention firmly to Spurs. A few 50/50 calls for Howe to make. Livramento/Trippier, Hall/Kelly, Tonali/Longstaff and Barnes/Murphy. I think he'll want Livramento's pace against this Spurs team. Tonali started quick on Weds, so better to have him initially. Barnes a good impact sub. #nufc
My team for tonight. Eddie has to go strong. I'd like to see Willock/Barnes get starts. Almiron probably gets a run out here. Burn/Kelly a tough call, but Kelly deserves a chance in his natural position. With tough league games ahead, this is the chance to start Tonali. #nufc
I did feel sorry for Bournemouth when the goal was disallowed yesterday, but not sure I agree with the general feeling that it was a mistake. Handball rule is clear when you read the rules. The ‘sleeve’ rule is a media myth. It isn’t written in the rules, as the diagram shows. #nufc
