I wondered what Eddie was up to but I think he kind of had to do this. Otherwise, he would have zero experienced firepower coming off the bench. Not that he has all experience in the starting lineup, but...yeah, attacking options are limited atm.
Yeah. I think Gordon is a bit gassed as well, so maybe better for him to give it his all and provide a burst of energy for a brief time off the bench.
Dortmund just seems to really have our number. It was always going to be difficult with all the injuries.
That Milan win is a real stick in the eye.
I haven't been able to watch the game yet, but Newcastle definitely need this international break. I hope Trippier doesn't start for England, to be honest. He seems like he needs a rest as much as anyone.
Yep. And Hall can't even start against Chelsea, they being his parent club. I suspect Livramento and Trippier will be starting on either side.
I'd like to see them keep Trippier on the right and try Livramento on the left
He played there some in the last game.
Haha. I heard that. That's a fantastic podcast.Another reason to love Shearer:
When asked what other PL team he'd have loved to play for he said, ""Sunderland so I could get them f'ing relegated again!"
Great result. I was a bit worried after Joelinton missed the easy header, but we played well all game. It was good to see Trippier back on top of his game, and having Isak back was a huge plus.
I just don't understand how a ref who seemed to be standing firm throughout the game would capitulate at the end. I thought for sure he would uphold his original ruling except they never seem to when they go look at the screen. Why does looking at the screen always seem to be an automatic overturn? The VAR refs must be trying to convince the on field ref or something.
