gordon is putting up elite numbers tbf, which maxi never managed to do. he could quite feasibly end up with 15 goals and 10 assists if he keeps this form up and remains injury free. southgate still won't pick him mind

same. i liked him. he was the bright spark amid a few seasons of bruceball dross plus he seemed to love his time in newcastle so it's weird that so many hate on him. we could have used him this season but howe didn't fancy him ultimately and that's fine. gordon is clearly an upgrade in term of output and fits the system much better

Tino!!!

is this his first clean sheet in the league since he came back in? Feels like it. Shame we can’t morph his shot stopping and ability on the ball with Pope’s command of his area and sweeping. They’ve both got useful attributes

Pot shot from Bruno, just wide, Gemmill seething

Bruno’s corners look much better then Trippier’s. We also look much more at it since the subs came on.

Wolves aren’t giving up. They’re pressing much more than they did in the first half, trying to get back into it. Dangerous on the counter too. Next goal will be big

Great chance from willock to seal it

The injury curse continues

Neto crocked

great players when they’re not injured. Going into a whole season with just the two of them up front was always a gamble.

I’d be annoyed if it was a tight 0-0. The game situation and conditions are right for the odd pot shot from distance

Aye, exactly. I get the whole philosophy of trying to work the good shooting opportunities. But we’re two up and the pitch is slick as fuck - see goal, hit goal would be my approach

No one busting a gut to get in the box there after good work from Isak and Murphy

I don’t mind him having a crack or two like that per game if it opens up. We’re two up - why not?

100% He’s been Mr consistent. Always fit, always running, always prepare to chase and press, always makes himself available for the ball. And he’s backing it up with goals and assists. Great to see after a poor first few months

we’ve missed him so much. get in man. Lovely long ball along the ground into the corridor of uncertainty from Murphy. He’s been close with a couple of those already

Bruno has to pull the trigger there!

Burn good one though tbf

Classic counter. Really smart by Gordon to hold it up and wait for Bruno to make the supporting run

He rested him against Arsenal. I thought he might again after he played the whole Blackburn game plus extra time. I don’t even think it has to be a case of dropping him. Burn will be in useful at left back in some games. Tino in others. Rotation makes sense depending on the opposition. If you’re Neto, who would you rather be running at today?

i'm surprised tino ins't starting aginat neto when burn played 120 mins midweek. miggy looked much brighter than murphy too when he came on. i also would have started miley over longstaff on current form
