Why haven't Newcastle bought a striker this summer? They lost Wilson already and should have replaced him by now. Isak is another story entirely. If he leaves Newcastle will need 2 strikers.

Newcastle put everything into that last night as if it was a Cup final all because of this Isak saga and ended up with a sending off and losing players to injuries and zero points.

Liverpool winning goal was superb, not quite up there with Barnes-Rush-Barnes-Collymore closing in.. Kevin Keegan hangs his head!.. but it was almost as sweet!

Liverpool not playing well but still that's 2 from 2.

Well it looks like they were in for nearly every striker going, but they all decided to go elsewhere

Because the Newcastle hierarchy are handless heures in the transfer market and have fluffed every transfer target this summer. Ekitike, Sesko, Wissa (might still happen).

They beat you already this year in your cup final at Wembley. It launched the Slot Slump that has been ongoing since last March.

Liverpool scoring a last minute winner has really triggered you 😂

Triggered? I'm enjoying the delusion of people who refuse to see how much their team is faltering  ;D

Great result,  poor performance. Bullied all over the place but was always going to be that with the Newcastle dogs of war revved up by the rabid fans, buying into the whole shit of 'disrespect' around the Isak situation.

Red card was as clear a red card as you'll see,  ran like a lunatic to challenge Allison,  then like a lunatic after VVD and then lunged. Was an ankle breaker if ever I saw one and not a step on the toe like Wobbler is suggesting,  studs the whole way down his calf and ripped a hole in his sock...yeah not intent there!

They've tried and failed to buy at least 4 strikers. Sesko, Wissa, Nkieteke, Larseen (easily the worst CF in the PL). Clubs now know they're desperate and are prepared to play hardball. They've fucked themselves by a) not selling Isak earlier and given themselves time to source a replacement and b) not signing a cheap option from Europe to tide themsleves over in the meantime.

It's shocking work by the management and board at Newcastle to not source at least 1 replacement by now. They've known for at least 12 months that Wilson's contract was up and they'd no intention of renewing it.

Careful now, you're interrupting Professor Wobbler's "progressive discussion about tackling and intent".
