Bad execution again.   Bruno would have made a big difference controlling the game from the midfield while Longstaff struggled making 5 yard passes. 

If we can get a centre mid in by window close we can demote Longstaff one more place down the bench. No point waiting for Shelvey to be back.

Rumoured to have made a 33 million bid for Edson Alvarez,  but yes I think we need to make sure that Willock and longstaff are mostly used off the bench.   Martin Terrier would also be nice.

Didn’t realise Saint-Maximin was 25, late bloomer, joy to watch, just one of those that make you all romantic about the game; that deal till 2026 really takes the pressure off Newcastle in the next few seasons too.

There are ongoing contract talks for an extension.

Ruben Neves:

“Of course, their (Newcastle’s) style of play is like that.

“Just long balls and second balls.

“They are not a team that wants to have the possession too much.

“We knew that.

“We prepare really well for that.

“Then at the end it is details.
