The fact the first signs of “Eddie Out” are appearing is poor — and a sad indictment of modern fan culture 🗣
Yes, he and the team are struggling. But he has plenty of time ⏳️ & credit 💳 in the bank to turn it around.
I’ll be publishing an article 📰 later this week emphasising the reasons why. #NUFC

FT: #BFC 3–1 #NUFC
▪️Abysmal second-half showing
▫️The 2️⃣ furthest forward in midfield aren't influencing or changing games
▫️Big Nick 🇩🇪 won't stay high and keep defences honest
▪️Opposing CBs have too much time ⏳️ on the ball
▫️Can't let Howe off the hook 🪝
▪️Multiple warnings ⚠️ before the subs

The lads are back in West London 💨 at the Gtech — a ground that, until last season, had been a happy hunting ground for #NUFC
My predicted starting XI:
▪️ 2️⃣ changes from the Bilbao encounter
▫️ Ramsey & Barnes in 🔄
▪️A big performance needed 🙏🏻
▫️I may end up listening 📻 from behind the sofa 🤣

Over a glass of red 🍷 I found myself pondering a big question:
𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 & 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥y 𝐟𝐢𝐭?
Here’s a possible solution:
▪️Hall & Tino should play
▫️BDB feels undroppable
▪️Midfield 3️⃣ remains intact
▫️Big Nick given support up front

Woke up this morning and have to say… I’m confused 🤯 by some #NUFC match reviews.
▪️ Did I watch a different game❓️
▫️ BDB’s header glossed over a drab display
▪️ First 30 minutes were poor & set the tone
▫️ Illnesses 🤒 a mitigating factor
▪️ The result was enough
▫️ Atmosphere reflective of #UCL format

▪️ Bilbao refused to wilt under the deficit
▫️ The visitors ended the better footballing side
▪️ Not the bounce-back performance hoped for
▫️ The result was good enough 👍🏻

Sandro Tonali has another three full seasons to run on his contract, plus Newcastle hold the option of extending it by a further year, due to a secret deal handed to the midfielder during his 10-month suspension for gambling offences.

Sandro Tonali signed secret Newcastle contract extension after gambling ban
The Italian's Newcastle terms actually run until 2030, rather than the publicly reported 2028.
