Newcastle have only gone and bloody won the cup. Where do you want your statue Eddie Howe. This team have achieved immortality. The golden boys #nufc
Things are not as bad as they seem at Newcastle and here is why #nufc
😡 Frustration and anger understandable but is it misplaced?
⌛️New signings will need months not weeks to settle
🚀 Sean Steur is ready for takeoff
💪 Dan Burn and Malick Thiaw centre back partnership telegraph.co.uk/football/202…
Will Osula had no shots and no touches in the opposition box. His hold up play was poor throughout .Yoane Wissa still looks lost. Newcastle have a striker problem #nufc
Newcastle much improved but misfit strikers remain a cause for concern #nufc telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

It was better from Newcastle today and they should have won. By far the better side in the second half but it is a worry how few goals they have in the team. Barnes missed a hat trick of chances and I thought the disallowed goal was very soft in the first half. Hornicek made one important save late on. A draw is ok and it was an improvement #nufc
Off to Fulham today, my favourite London away trip of the season. Newcastle have a chance today to put their season back on the right track and calm everything down going into the international break. The alternative isn’t much fun thinking about so I’ll just stick with the positive for now #nufc
This is Matthias Jaissle’s sink or swim moment. He could still prove to be the manager #nufc said he was when they appointed him. There were going to be tough moments it’s how he responds to this that will define him.
Exclusive: Newcastle United players believe they are paying the price for recruitment gambles amid uncertainty over whether or not head coach Matthias Jaissle can successfully lead the club’s rebuild.

Trump going well 🤡
Democrats have won control of the U.S. House in addition to the U.S. Senate, delivering a shockingly decisive rebuke of Republican governance in Washington and ushering in a new era of congressional resistance to President Donald Trump.

Cunha the ultimate showman in the Manchester United circus. Are you not entertained? #mufc telegraph.co.uk/football/202…
Worth another read of this after the shambolic Everton defeat tonight. I said Hornicek had been alright, not many great saves but no glaring mistakes either… I’ll get my coat #nufc
It was heralded as Newcastle United 2.0 as the club sold off its crown jewels and replaced them with a group of “future stars” to usher in a new era.
This summer, Newcastle spent £262.9m on eight players.
Nine games into the season, @LukeEdwardsTele assesses how the new signings are faring ⤵️

Newcastle did not just lose to Everton they lost the crowd and that is more damaging moving forward than anything #nufc telegraph.co.uk/football/202…
Jaissle said the players dispensed with the plan as soon as the referee blew his whsitle tonight. The plan was not to hit long balls forward. They did it for the entire first half. They've done it lots this season. Confidence is clearly fragile. I've seen this movie before at #nufc
Really hard to watch #nufc playing as badly as that. They did not just lose to Everton they lost the home crowd tonight. The football is ugly, ineffective and increasingly clueless. Patience is wearing thin. Things are getting worse not better. Pressure is on because this is unsustainable.

Every one of the summer signings rated and assessed on their impact so far.
Surely Jaissle needs to find a way to get Sean Steur in the team? #nufc
Early days in Newcastle rebuild but Jaissle needs far more from summer signings #nufc telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

There won’t be many #safc fans who care what I think but I’m shocked to see talk of Regis Le Bris being sacked on here. Two years of huge over achievement and just nine league games into his third season.
This was always going to be so much harder. No longer a surprise, raised expectations for a team who defied them last term. Players egos harder to manage after all wanted to impress in first year. And then the draining impact of European football too. Teams always tend to struggle when they’re not used to that every season.
Surely Le Bris has done more than enough to be shown some patience, support and understanding?
Enjoyed this lunchtime viewing. Third second and third goals were a touch of class too. Up the O’s #lofc
Indeed. 2016. Thanks everyone. Good process. #brexit
Alastair Campbell - They can sit there … the people who gave us Brexit and now they want to give you another set of false promises.
Don not fall for them because they are a bunch of conmen, they are being found out & one reason why Nigel Farage will never be PM.

You have to remember Schar, Joelinton, Willock and Murphy were starters in a team fighting relegation every season before Howe arrived. That’s almost 50% of your outfield players. Jaissle doesn’t seem to think a number of the summer signings are good enough to start. It’s going to be a tough season. Ups and downs. It’s a question of tolerance levels #nufc
Newcastle are not a very good team I’m afraid. They are so easy to play through and do nothing with the ball when they have it. Their chances come from chaos and turnovers. As soon as Everton took the lead this was tailor made for them to keep it tight, Invite Newcastle on to them and counter. And they’ve scored another two. Basic stuff #nufc
