I'd go for the following today: Pickford Quansah Guehi Konsa Rice MLS Bowen Rogers Eze Gordon Kane I've got Bowen over Madueke because I just feel he's earned the right to be the Saka understudy from his performances over the last few seasons. Quansah and MLS are with the long term in mind.
Absolute howler from the co-commentator there on Elliot Anderson. "I saw him play against Leeds the other week and he was absolutely brilliant for Newcastle" Anderson left Newcastle in 2024 and plays for Nottingham Forest.
Lee ****ing Dixon has literally just praised Elliott Anderson on how hes started the game adding 'I saw him last week against Leeds United where he absolutely ran the middle of the park for Newcastle'!!!! What the actual ****! What a total dickhead.
Tbf Dixon is a bit thick, and got himself confused between a club who's just won a tin pot cup vs an historic European force.
Hate listening to Dixon. He’s doing the same miserable northerner schtick that Lawrenson and Murphy used to do and it’s so tiresome. Not much to say on the football other than Anderson has done well.
It's an insult to the intelligence of the viewers really when someone clearly has put zero effort into his research. I mean that is proper basics getting a player's club wrong but you just know these pundits do absolutely no prep whatsoever.
Could get away with that excuse if he'd just got the team wrong and the opponent right but **** knows how he think he saw him play in the Newcastle match against Leeds; error like that is beyond belief for a supposed professional commentator.
Why on earth are people talking about the commentary when there is a riveting game of football going on.
