Payet was so ridiculously talented and temperamental. He’s a good one.

Yeah he wasn’t particularly fluid vs Dortmund but no really was for Newcastle. Apart from livramento, he looked good.

Welcome to Salah’s world. Frequently fouled and he’s lucky if he gets two free kicks in a game.

Think you could definitely stand to rotate them more or sub them out earlier. Saka especially seems tired and ineffective in a lot of games this season. I know he doesn’t have a direct replacement but he’s getting run into the ground.

I do understand where you’re coming from though. You need to win every game these days and you need your best players for that. But you also need them in top condition and I don’t think you’re getting the best out of Saka with the way his minutes have been managed so far.
