    Definitely seeing fatigue, too many times we had a player break forward… and that was it, ‘A’ player - turn around, wait for support, pass it back, let Bournemouth get players behind the ball, then chase back after their long ball out of defence.

    Luckily Solanke is their main outlet so he only scored 2

    Last time I saw Newcastle so depleted with injuries, some mexican kid named Santiago Munez broke into squad.
    I’ll get my coat.

    On a serious note, may be it is not only intensity, but also “Howe effect”. Everyone in that team plays better than expected - may be players are pushing themselves too much - I mean risky challenges, always giving 110%, running extra mile etc.

    In related news, Eddie has said that Miggy has a hammy injury and Wilson will be out for a few weeks.

    Spiffing. Just fucking spiffing.

    I really hope he said it to recall them from national teams and give some rest

    As good as our front two are (and they are good) they're both fragile. The club HAVE to rectify that next year, or it will be rinse and repeat.

    We should be looking at a few, quality attacking-minded players in January.

    You're right, our passing game has been abysmal since the season started.
