As I sit here writing this piece (In Manchester, of all places), I must admit there is a lot more enthusiasm to perform an analysis than there was for the Everton game a few days ago. In fact, for what feels like the first time in a long time, the ‘what worked’ section of this […]
Newcastle United head into tonight’s clash with Manchester United looking to end a horrendous run of three consecutive Premier League defeats at St. James Park. Almost two full months have passed since Newcastle’s last home league victory, the incredible 4-3 thriller against Leeds United on January 7th. But since then, The Magpies were outclassed by Aston Villa […]
Newcastle travel to the Etihad as they look for revenge following their exit from the Carabao Cup two weeks ago. The Magpies come into the match full of confidence, following a 6-1 away win against Qarabag FK in the Champions League knockout round. Anthony Gordon scored four on the night, taking him to ten goals […]
In what may well be his finest hour for the club, forward Anthony Gordon hit four first-half goals as Newcastle United all but secured their place in the Champions League round of 16 after dominating Qarabag FK. After a near-3000-mile trip, the visitors got off to a dream start in Baku, with Gordon latching onto […]
The FA Cup 5th round draw has thrown up a familiar tie for Newcastle United fans, as they once again face Manchester City in a domestic cup. Like many Newcastle fans, I joked in the days leading up to the draw, words to the effect of “watch, we’ll get Man City”. And with good reason. […]

Eddie Howe has recognised the need for wingers with a greater goal output after Ryan Fraser (27 PL apps, 2 goals, 3 assists), Jacob Murphy (33 PL apps, 1 goal, 2 assists) and Miguel Almiron (30 PL apps, 1 goal) contributed fewer combined goals and assists than Allan Saint-Maximin (35 PL apps, 5 goals, 5 […]
Allan Saint-Maximin was Newcastle United’s second-top goalscorer (5) and top assist-maker (5) last season, so he’s an important player to Eddie Howe. The 25-year-old has interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea among others, so his future at St James’ Park may be uncertain. Newcastle slapped a £50m asking price on Saint-Maximin’s head months ago and […]
Newcastle United’s best-performing winger scored just five goals with five assists in the Premier League last season (Allan Saint-Maximin), while Eddie Howe’s other three wide-man (Jacob Murphy, Ryan Fraser, Miguel Almiron) failed to match his tally collectively (4 goals, 5 assists), so the Magpies manager needs to dip into the transfer market for at least […]
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers believes that his side’s win over Tottenham last weekend will help to build confidence.

Speaking to The Leicester Mercury, Rodgers said this: It was a […]
