I agree. He does so many things right. I doubt he will lose confidence. Composure in the 6 yard box is his issue. He had an air shot in one of the earlier games. Hopefully composure will come with experience.

R.I.P. the Empire.

All well and good except, against Forest, Jackson flubbed 3 gilt-edged chances in the 6 yard box. Twice he couldn't sort out his feet, for the third he somehow managed to put it over the bar.

Eeeeek!

Newcastle's shirt sponsor majority owned by PIF who own 80% of Newcastle. Pffffffft.

Poch says you can have the job for the Pringles.

I've warned you before about your common sense. Have a detention.

Except Chilwell isn't playing as a LB. He's a winger.

Definitive proof? Or a coincidence to which a narrative has been attached? I won't want you on the bench with a gavel next time I appear in court. Let me rephrase that. If I ever appear in court.

Thank you. My broader point was that because someone, in this case in isolation, says something it gets taken seriously. Matt Law has been an unreliable source for a while now.

Because that's how it is around here. Prejudices overtake common sense, and, often, facts.

Does that make it true?

The age limit thing has been doing the rounds without a single credible source. Someone on the radio? QED.

Methinks a couple of games is hardly a basis for such conclusions but why should today be different around here?

It's not about G's energy or commitment. He doesn't have the skill level to dribble and deceive. Palmer does, certainly based on his work at MC. And he has a rocket shot. Time to find out what he can do.

His podcast appearance recently was a concern. He was seeking to mitigate the gambling situation by saying he hadn't bet on Brentford, going on to suggest it was all part of a conspiracy to keep him out of the England team. There's patently an addiction and those sorts of noises don't bode well.

Palmer for Gallagher.

Therein lies a lot of the problem. Minus Carney, Enzo trying to fill the role.

That's the problem. Run, link up all you like, but the primary role is in the box, the 6 yard box especially. He has flubbed at least 4 in the 6 yard box alone.

Waiting for options which weren't coming. The alternative? Hit and hope.

Yes. Witness his frustration when no one in front of him offers themselves. He gestures, he pleads. And, when he's finally given an option, he's one of the best distributors at the club.

Spot on. Rice was, at best, decent in a scrappy game. Suddenly the goal, via a deflection, turns him into MOTM.

TalkSport. A fountain of populist drivel.

Lift your game!

At some point, his confidence went through the floor. Never the same again.
