He’s good really good but he’s 20 and needs to get better Liverpool have the best LB in the league and im a toon fan Hall will be the best in years to come
I’m a Newcastle fan, I enjoyed this for obvious reasons. I’d say this about die hard footballs fans, we appreciate class wherever it’s found, a rival club, it doesn’t matter. Tonali i would highlight in this moment because the lad has had a bad 2 years. Being sold by his boyhood club where his father still attends as a season ticket holder, battling addiction etc, he’s done well to battle through that type of situation. The next reason I want to highlight him is because of his personality, for example he isn’t on social media, he isn’t interested in any of that nonsense unlike your rashfords and Lingards. He is 100% focused on the game and he’s being recognised for it and rightfully so. Ps hands of Bruno, we can match your wages and your ambition. We arnt a finished product at Newcastle but he is a very key part of our recipe for the final product.
Thank you for the gassing up! ⚪️⚫️ Bruno brings me so much joy as our captain man, not only is he our most important technical player but he’s also our “glue guy.” The passion that he has for the club, fans, and his teammates is contagious and heartwarming. I’ll never forget when Lewis Miley scored his first goal for Newcastle and Bruno sprinted over to celebrate with him damn near sobbing his eyes out because he was so excited for the kid. Every time one of our players posts on social media, Bruno is in their comments gassing them up. He runs his heart out every single minute and gets the fans so involved. True captain and leader for our club, and I hope he stays forever because he truly is a part of the toon family. We had a rocky start to the season finding consistency, as Isak wasn’t getting service, Flash Gordon was struggling because of the emotional toll of transfer rumors, and our midfield wasn’t clicking. Now that tonali is starting over Longstaff and playing deeper with Bruno given more freedom to pitbull around, we’re finally firing on all cylinders and it looks scary. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings
As a Newcastle fan back from the 80’s, hearing now what other teams are saying about us just amazing but also does not really compute. Don’t get me wrong, I am (as Kegan would say) Lovin it! We have had our ups and mostly downs in the recent years, probably a lot of the fans only know and are still getting over the Ashley years but also hear about the 90’s and the entertainers. It’s like you get crap for most of your life and now someone comes around and just shows you what you could and should have. We are all a very loyal and dedicated fan base that ask for the team to put in 100% and we will back that person 100% which is why they don’t want to leave. Every time another club comes to the Toon they hear the Geordie Raw cause we will back them no matter what. This is why players love to play for the toon, it not just about the game for us, but about how they are loved and respected when we get a chance to meet them in the streets. Toon fans are a lot more than just football.
Bruno loves Newcastle and his family are essentially Geordies now. His family have been adopted by the region and he sees what family means to us and the region. He’s not leaving us.
@@RichardSlassor They do. But despite what some of the pundits might say about the North East - a few stick around even after their playing days. If it clicks with you, you'll stay forever, it's a magical part of the country.
Most neutrals don't know because you can't really tell from highlight reels, but it's the tiny subtleties in Bruno's play which really set him apart. Everybody knows he's good, but most don't realise how incredible he is. Eddie Howe gets very little criticism from me, but if there's one thing, he's sometimes a little bit stubborn & won't change things. Since he began starting Tonali at 6 (another class act, by the way) and pushing Bruno up the pitch a bit more, now his brilliance is helping to get us goals, where before his brilliance was in stopping the opposition. As he & Tonali develop their partnership they switch positions during games which gives opponents another problem. Also have to shout out Lewis Hall at LB. He is the best LB in the league at the minute. He's tightened up a lot defensively, but was always classy on the ball with the ability to beat players as well as pick out a great pass, or put crosses in with quality. He's also building a great understanding with Joelinton & Gordon. Once we get Botman back & match fit at LCB, that left side is as good as any in the league. Schar is incredible for a 3.5million signing, but getting on a bit now so you're right, long term cover & replacement is needed there as well as a top class right winger. Murphy is OK but he's not world class. Aside from that we just need to add more depth. But as fans we know this is not a 2 year project. Howe is under no pressure whatsoever. He's already shown he's the perfect fit for us. He wants to make his name as a top manager, just as we want to make our name as a top team. It's a match made in heaven. Surely the long painful wait for a trophy will end soon...
End of the second half, when Livremento loses the ball and Bruno runs back to the corner flag, disposeses the player, takes it past another and single handedly pushes Man U back to the half way line, then celebrates that as hard as scoring a goal. That's the bits that dont get onto the highlight reels, but epitomize the hard work he puts in on every blade of grass and how much it means to him to help and push the entire team.
Botman is top level mind. See some Liverpool fan page saying there gonna buy him to replace vandick. Like they have a devine right to buy from any team.
Botman is back from an ACL injury and it's always a lottery how they come back. We need another CB as insurance and I like Guehis power, speed and authority.
@@ZionOrangeCrystal Palace tried to take the mick with his price. Unless we could get him for a massively reduced price I would go for Diomande if we could get him.
Toon fan here. Really nice to hear this from another team fan. I’ve said this for a couple months that when we click get RW and a new centre back in January, keep our elite players in the summer and buy 2-3 new players in the summer and I agree we will be up there. Great channel bro, RESPECT
I am a NewCastle fan from America. Love your video and the praise you gave us(thank you). I truly believe now that Tonali is the full time 6 has done wonders for us, and once you click in 100% in the midfield the sky is the limit. I do think we need a RW and goalie upgrade, but overall I am excited about the rest of the season. Be well my friend!!!
If dubravka doesn’t put a foot wrong until the end of the season I think he deserves to be our number 1. Your right about the RW murphy is good but we need world class
It's so nice to hear this from other sets of fans. It's been a long time coming, this midfield 3 is the best I've seen in my 35 years supporting the club
Tonali and Bruno have clicked as a pair and both are much fitter than start of season. Kind of all happened in last month or so. Where we were getting killed in on break last season as no legs in MF tonali is now everywhere nicking it back in a way Bruno couldn’t. They have also developed that sit and go telepathy and interchangeability that Bruno and longstaff had in our top4 season. It’s only recently happened but it’s changed everything. First few games of Bruno playing 8 he looked lost. He’d also got into a habit last 6-12 months of forcing things and losing possession as the midfield and surrounding players were static and lethargic. It looks like he mentally freed himself of the pressure of having to instigate everything (maybe becoming captain didn’t help here initially) and in accepting a lesser or shared role re building attacks it’s made everything so much more effective and fluid. We finally look like that 2023 Newcastle team that suffocates the opposition and can blow anyone away in those 15-30 minute spells of dominance. Exciting thing is the 2025 midfield 3 are much better and the potential of the team is higher. Hopefully we can keep it up as I absolutely love how we play when it all clicks like at OT and it was so delicious to embarrass them like that. I think you’re right on the signings. RW of the quality of the other forwards (I’d like kudus too, mbuemo maybe, don’t think we can afford either), a ball playing GK, a quick cb or two and we’d be cooking.
Very kind LB, glad to hear your kind words. Nothing makes my day more than bringing rival fans together with us. Bless ya all. Sorry tho LB, we ain't a selling club no more, especially with CL seemingly on the horizon
LB this means alot man. Seriously the top 6 narrative have got teams above thinking were just a feeder club and they can pinch who they want at any price. For you a man city fan tk acknowledge and give us midfield a shout out is progress. Nufc fans see it, it took a live game against man utd for others to see finally. Bruno plays balls like he did to Murphy all the time, that's why miggy had his best scoring season for us. Respect, I hope man city get themselves together
Eddie Howe is the man who built Newcastle United, he is a brilliant coach who have brought out the best in ever player at his disposal, if we hadn't have had so many injuries we would have been right up against Liverpool, its time the cartel realise we aren't selling our superstars, sorry Man City, Arsenal or Liverpool, you just can't afford any of our superstars, they love the project and the atmosphere around the City, yah though we walk through the valley death because of Mike Ashley it's now time to she the Sun shine down on us, What comes next will frighten even Europe's top teams, the sponsorships of our new stadium and train facilities will be world class, it will generate the cash to set us free, maybe our next summers targets will be even better.
Nice video. The repositioning of Tonali deeper and Bruno higher combined with players like Gordon not sulking anymore and back on the left, plus Isak having recovered from a broken toe are the main reasons. Plus Murphy is giving us that right side balance for now. 💪
I'm a Newcastle fan and early season we weren't clicking. The tactical shift of Tonali to 6 and Bruno to 8 has made a huge difference for the last month. Brilliant midfield and our attack is finally firing- hoping great times ahead.
Newcastle fan here, it’s so good hearing another teams fan give us credit. So many casuals just asssume our players aren’t that good because we’re Newcastle and they don’t watch us. Also since Longstaff come out the team and Eddie how got the balance right we’ve been flying! That’s why we had a slow start
Changing Bruno and Tonali around solved the puzzle we had, tonali as a 6 Deep playmaker and moving Bruno to 8 to let him express himself more on a game. Tonali is a bulldog, we missed him last season
Newcastle don't have Europe this season. However we struggled to integrate Tonali until November. Now we have got the balance right we can Hopefully push on. A RW, CB and striker are needed to push us on.
I’ve been saying it from day one. Bruno G plays his best football in the number 8 position. Look how amazing we are when he has the freedom to do what he wants. Tonali sitting in the number 6 frees Bruno. What a player
Since we started playing Tonali as a 6, we freed up Bruno G abit and thats whats we are seeing now. Brilliant midfield right now. Tonali is for me the most important player and the reason we are this good now
We reversed tonali and bruno. ..flipped tonali to a 6 role and bruno to an 8 ...found a good balance...long may it continue 😊...good shout from a city fan ...respect .
As a Newcastle fan great to see others recognize the quality of play we sometimes do. We also did it last season until both fatigue and injuries hit us. Last season our style of playing 120% intensity from start to finish wasn't sustainable, but now Eddie has found a balance. A balance he has searched for since preseason. If only pundits also could recognize it. The only commented and spoke about the game in the view of Manchester U. Only a few short sentences of "Newcastle play if good" when it was fantastic at times - many times.
All down to consistency at the start of the season mate we were losing games we shouldn't have but we've found consistency and it's all down to Tonali moving from an 8 to a 6 position. We have been phenomenal since the defeat away to Brentford .
I am a Newcastle supporter and just want to say that City are firmly my second team- all day long. With the way the premier league and other clubs treat us with our far east owners is a disgrace. We get targeted with corruption all the time just because of our owners.
@@TonyODOnnell-tt8ghI think about when Lewis Miley scored his first goal for the club and Bruno ran over to celebrate with him almost sobbing his eyes out because of how excited he was for the kid. Truly a part of our toon family Bruno is
This has been a weird season for us (NUFC). We started not playing well but picking up points, then we had a spell of not picking up points but playing well, now we're 5 wins on the spin, with 16 scored and only one conceded. We've picked up points against the "big boys" all season, beating Arsenal, Villa, Spurs, Man U and Forest, and drawing with Man City and Liverpool. But we've lost games we were expected to win, hence our league position. I think you're dead right that the players have struggled with the transition from prey to predator and, i hate to say it, shown a bit of arrogance towards teams that they've deemed inferior, and paid the price. Thankfully, Eddie Howe seems to have smacked that out of them. I wouldn't swap our midfield, Gordon or Isak for any in the league. We have Botman to come back from his injury too. And, in the young lads Hall and Livramento i reckon we might have England's fullbacks for the next ten years. After a decade and a half of Mike Ashley, us NUFC fans just don't know what to make of this 🤣
I’m Newcastle fan and villa are struggling like we did playing the extra games in champions league, PSR is killing us like villa getting to spend to strengthen the squad players to rotate more is are problems , we struggled to break down defence like you said , that’s why we are 5th now with tonali on and longstaff relegated to the bench where he should of always been it’s clicked , we need a RW and two CD for the future as hall and Tino are both England players and young so we need two more , we wouldn’t sell Bruno that’s why we didn’t buy in the last window and can’t see us getting anyone in the Jan window because of PSR 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 it’s a joke but it’s doing what they wanted , keeping us from competing, same with villa good enough to get up but can’t stay with the squad players not good enough as they can’t spend on them only 1 first team or two if lucky
the midfield struggled earlier in the season trying to find the best way to play both Tonali and Bruno, with Tonali also struggling to get up to pace with the PL, this resulted in a lot of poor team performances. Since Tonali was shifted to the central No.6 position team performances started to improve, Tonali is now up to speed and this has basically been the key to unlocking the midfield trio potential. We all know how good Bruno, Isak, Joelinton and Gordon are, but Tonali has been the key and is only gonna get better. Also a mention for young Lewis Hall at left back.....what a player !
Flowers from LB wowza. We've had a few issues to deal with but we're on it atm, switching Tonali to the 6 has leveled us up. He was poor last night lol. Freeing Bruno into the 6 has made us more dangerous but it's controlled. Need RW, RCB and a keeper.
I think a creative right winger is number one on the list for the transfer window. Murphy is having a good run right now but an upgrade on both him and Miggy is desperately required, after that start looking at defenders. The back four has settled a lot since Dubravka is starting. It's no easy job for Pope to get back his spot at the minute with the run Dubs is having right now, it would be daft to go straight back to Pope
The desperation of some CC's is hilarious lol, first it was Bruno39 to citeh, then it was Isak14 to the Gonners then Tonali8 back to Milan. BTW MoreLB have a wet one and dream-on, you will NOT get wor Bruno. We have a project in place, just like you once did if ya remember. Good podcast btw 👏👏👏
It’s looking good now, but it’s taken until December for Howe to find the right combination. Originally he was playing Bruno in the 6 and Tonali in the 8, but switching them has unlocked it.
Why did Newcastle struggle in the early part of the season? I think the number one reason was the squad was deeply unsettled by the transfer talk. Because of FFP, the club thought they might have to sell one of Gordon, Isak or Bruno. All three seem to lose confidence in the club's future and their performances all suffered. Over time, Howe has slowly settled then down and got them to believe in each other and in the club again. And then Tonali's suspension ended and it took him a month or so to get up his fitness levels. After he did, he was given the deep lying midfield position that Bruno used to have allowing Bruno to be a lot more creative going forward. Together with Joelinton they are now exceptional together and we have not looked back since they began to play as a unit.
Pep would have them top of the league. Always knew bruno was class and was mad upset when city didn't hit the release clause in the summer. That there was the sign my lads. Great stuff lb!!
It’s not always about activating the release clause, the player himself has to want to go… And Bruno has given no indication he wants to leave Newcastle, in fact it’s the complete opposite.
PSR is stopping us, not the manager. It pisses me off that the club aren't going all out to get sponsors in. Need your APT final judgements to come out to reverse the rules, hopefully you win your case too, because that would throw the PL into disarray and hopefully get rid of Masters. Our team is top class. Once Botman comes back that will massively help our defence. We need a RW, a Schar replacement RCB, a 2nd striker, a new RB if Tripps goes and a GK. Extra squad depth to compete in Europe too but certainly those positions are priority. But do we have the money to get them, that's the issue. We absolutely do not want to sell any of our top players and if we get Europe I don't see any of them wanting to go, the bond these players have, the unity is incredible and they all absolutely love the club. If City could help us out with some loans that would be great 😉
Nice to hear us get some plaudits, unlike other news sources where they just focus on how bad the opposition has been. I just think we've been too inconsistent this season, getting beat 2-0 to West Ham at home is a great example of a game we should be winning if we want to get into the top 4. Your totally right about teams sitting back against us, that's probably another flaw we have the at the minute where we can't break those types of teams down.
Thank you for all your kind words about the toon,it took a couple of weeks to get the team clicking and I knew we would be ok,but lb your right we need a right winger,world class keeper,and another right cb and I think we can challenge for Europe every season,I dislike Man Utd they have broken my heart over the yrs,but I do like Man City so pleased for you upsetting the 5 cartel teams
We didn’t click first 10 games of the season . Tonali was banned for the first 3 games of the season and Gordon took a while to get back into form after the euros , isak has an injury and was missing for a few games as well with Wilson missing and who we lost in minteh and Anderson so there was a lot of uncertainty around the club and we looked nervous, Nick popes keeping wasn’t the same as usual either so a lot of factors
Not in the top 4 because Gordon, Bruno and Joelinton didn't have a pre-season and Tonali was still banned for first month and a half of the season. If this midfield engine was firing on all cylinders since the start of the season we might have been fighting for it. What I love is that this is a Newcastle side that has creativity all the way through, but unlike seasons past, where our flair players would try to avoid harming the grass too much when getting back to defend, this team attack and defend as a unit.
I think Gundogan is a good comparison to Bruno technically complete and can play all midfield roles but really excels on the ball in a more offensive capacity.
Great video! Our midfield is coming together finaly! We look great atm but we're still having problems with low blocks. Manure game is nothing to go by, they are utter shite and we did 30 good minutes. You're right about 3 new signings and we're up there but depth is an issue. HWTL!
Bruno and Isak have said they are happy at Newcastle and want to stay. If we get a quality goalkeeper, a RCB, a right winger and another forward in case Isak gets injured. We are also getting Botman back.
What’s frustrating is all of us Newcastle fans have been calling for Tonali to play as a 6 and Bruno as an 8, and that switch only happened recently. Hence our great form. We won’t finish top 4 as our away form is typically quite bad
Newcastle fan And what a video mate , well said and honest seems there is people out there that can speak good about our boys , Personally i prefer this team to the entertainers far far better SUBED MATE THANK YOU' Bruno said he only leave for Real Madrid But now he loves the toon and his father living there , He loves us Geordies And says his baby is a GEORDIE AND PROUD hehee hes class in LOVE with the toon , AWESOME VID MATE
Spot on we do have the best midfield in the premier league. If we get a quality right winger then you could argue that we may have the best forward line..
Am sure we toon fans would relish having Haaland playing for us but realise it is a pipe dream….the old Newcastle under Ashley would definitely have Bruno leaving for a large bag of cash but hopefully those stupid days are just a horrible memory. Bruno is settled on Tyneside as far as I can see and is our captain and not pushing to leave. Remember we are not the poor relation to the so called big 6 now as we were once upon time….we are building a team and the next part is to build a bigger stadium to be envied…we are after all owned by PIF and the Reuben brothers so capital isn’t a problem going forward. City have been the blueprint for what the Newcastle fans want…attractive attacking football with success at the end result.
There has been a few games this season where we have battered sides, west Ham, Brighton at home, Everton away, and we have been shite in front of goal. Brighton had 1 chance and scored with it, won 1-0, Isak missed a few games with broken toe and took a while to fire up as well.
Respect LB Toon Fan here lets see what the season brings if we finish in Europe no chance of getting anybody from us we will strengthen = we will challenge next season but is Eddie the man ??
Newcastle fan here . Our problem seems to be we are better against better teams. Hopefully we have returned to our free scoring play which is amazing to watch. On players we have some others pivotal to the future - you haven't mentioned our best CH Sven Botman who has been injured all season and is due to come back.Plus we have a brilliant defender in 20 year old Lewis Hall. and Livramento, Goalkeeper is a bit tricky and perhaps another CH to replace Schah who is aging and a right winger. It was sad because we had to sell Minteh before he even played for us because of FFP. He was the RW we needed. Plus losing Anderson was hard too - another awesome player [now doing well for Forest] we lost because of the FFP rules.
We are not in the top four as we simply had an inconsistent start. The players had a heart to heart and simply went on and did what Eddie has been asking them to do. Also keep an eye on Lewis Hall, best left back in the premier league. Tino on the right is also coming through.
They have a beautiful midfield. I'm still convinced that we could get Bruno if we paid the price Newcastle wants for him. He is happy there, but they need the money and honestly, Bruno is reaching an age where that if he wants this big move, then it's about time. Really impressed by their whole midfield 3 and if we had them we would be clear even of Liverpool. I'd take any of the 3.
@@IRISHATLANTIC Liverpool aint all that. They very good - Right now. But they're on some weird golden spell and tbh it's because they don't have us there pushing them. They always crumble when we do. You'll see next season. Liverpool is a great team but nowhere near what we are as a club atm.
@@IRISHATLANTIC Buy our way out of trouble? Sorry but do you know any other way when you need players? lol Crumbling is hardly appropriate. You rival fans are always so reactionary.
I've always said the moment Bruno leaves for a better team the world will get the better idea how amazing of a player he is. Man City I think do have the chance they will have to pay that big money though. and about why we're not in the title race I think that got to do with finding our rythm a bit late. we were really really poor at the beginning of the season, we were very lucky to even pick up points.
Top guy thank you for praising from a nufc fan, what annoys me we have no consistency, we show up against the big teams and lose to the teams below, Brighton and West Ham were strange games I think it was only Chelsea we lost to in the league out of the big 6, I'd hate to see Bruno G leave he's our engine, we need rid of the deadwood we still have Mike Ashley signings and there lyes our problem, Longstaff,Almiron,Dubravka,Wilson,J Murphy,Krafth and Lascelles takeover signings ,Pope,Kelly,Targett they aren't good enough for title contenders, we also need Lewis and Hayden off the books they have been great to build us to the next level, we don't need to sell the damage was done when we sold Minteh and Anderson for £80 million and only paid £15 million for Osula and I dunno if it was £30 million for Lewis Hall but we had strong table finishes, champions league money, Adidas sponsorships so I'm confused why we need to sell star assets we aren't a selling club anymore we are a development club
The perfect replacement for Rodri being out is tonali ,Bruno is amazing but tonali is better especially in the position you need at present replacing rodri whilst he’s out Apart from that you hit the nail on the head in the video The bad start this season was down to finding our feet with the new style of play with teams parking the bus against us and discovering how to play against it
Not in top 4 because….no show v West Ham at home (should have been 3 pts v bang ave side), tossed a win away v Crystal Palace 2 pts… Brighton at home….???? It’s frustrating!!
I cannot make out the name of the other signing you said we should go for? I can get Kudus which I agree is a possibility but I cannot make out the name of the other one?
You could argue there are better individuals in other teams in midfield but as a group of three and in terms of balance and cohesion, there aren’t many better than our midfield.
I'm a Newcastle fan and I would agree this is the best midfield we have had in years. Since Tonali started we we have never lost a game. 😊
Since Tonali started as No.6 and Bruno at No.8 ... May Howe keep this forever
Tonali is just unreal good!
BRUNO!!!!! How inspiring it is to watch him play . He wears that arm band with so much pride
Thank you guys we are proud of our boys 🤍🖤
Lewis Hall is the best LB in the premier league
@@Georg3Nada he's purring, at the minute...lol
Im a Toon fan and id agree that Hall is up there with Robinson from Fulham for best LB this season.
He's the new Ashley Cole
He’s good really good but he’s 20 and needs to get better

Yeah, let's buy him 😅.
Good to see other teams fans are realising that Newcastle have some top top players and are being given recognition. I think we will get top four. 😊

Most neutrals don't know because you can't really tell from highlight reels, but it's the tiny subtleties in Bruno's play which really set him apart. Everybody knows he's good, but most don't realise how incredible he is.
Eddie Howe gets very little criticism from me, but if there's one thing, he's sometimes a little bit stubborn & won't change things. Since he began starting Tonali at 6 (another class act, by the way) and pushing Bruno up the pitch a bit more, now his brilliance is helping to get us goals, where before his brilliance was in stopping the opposition.
As he & Tonali develop their partnership they switch positions during games which gives opponents another problem.
Also have to shout out Lewis Hall at LB. He is the best LB in the league at the minute. He's tightened up a lot defensively, but was always classy on the ball with the ability to beat players as well as pick out a great pass, or put crosses in with quality. He's also building a great understanding with Joelinton & Gordon.
Once we get Botman back & match fit at LCB, that left side is as good as any in the league.
Schar is incredible for a 3.5million signing, but getting on a bit now so you're right, long term cover & replacement is needed there as well as a top class right winger. Murphy is OK but he's not world class.
Aside from that we just need to add more depth. But as fans we know this is not a 2 year project. Howe is under no pressure whatsoever. He's already shown he's the perfect fit for us. He wants to make his name as a top manager, just as we want to make our name as a top team. It's a match made in heaven.
Surely the long painful wait for a trophy will end soon...
End of the second half, when Livremento loses the ball and Bruno runs back to the corner flag, disposeses the player, takes it past another and single handedly pushes Man U back to the half way line, then celebrates that as hard as scoring a goal. That's the bits that dont get onto the highlight reels, but epitomize the hard work he puts in on every blade of grass and how much it means to him to help and push the entire team.
Sven Botman who us Newcastle fans rate very highly is back in the New Year. We get a quality RW in the Jan then were definitely CL next season.
Botman is top level mind. See some Liverpool fan page saying there gonna buy him to replace vandick. Like they have a devine right to buy from any team.
Botman is back from an ACL injury and it's always a lottery how they come back. We need another CB as insurance and I like Guehis power, speed and authority.
@@ZionOrangeCrystal Palace tried to take the mick with his price. Unless we could get him for a massively reduced price I would go for Diomande if we could get him.
Toon fan here. Really nice to hear this from another team fan.
I’ve said this for a couple months that when we click get RW and a new centre back in January, keep our elite players in the summer and buy 2-3 new players in the summer and I agree we will be up there.
Great channel bro, RESPECT
@Halcyonpaving Isak needs competition reason why a striker is needed
I am a NewCastle fan from America. Love your video and the praise you gave us(thank you). I truly believe now that Tonali is the full time 6 has done wonders for us, and once you click in 100% in the midfield the sky is the limit.
I do think we need a RW and goalie upgrade, but overall I am excited about the rest of the season.
Be well my friend!!!
Newcastle is all just 1 word though, just so you don’t get slated in the comments 🙏
If dubravka doesn’t put a foot wrong until the end of the season I think he deserves to be our number 1. Your right about the RW murphy is good but we need world class
It's so nice to hear this from other sets of fans. It's been a long time coming, this midfield 3 is the best I've seen in my 35 years supporting the club
Tonali and Bruno have clicked as a pair and both are much fitter than start of season. Kind of all happened in last month or so. Where we were getting killed in on break last season as no legs in MF tonali is now everywhere nicking it back in a way Bruno couldn’t.
They have also developed that sit and go telepathy and interchangeability that Bruno and longstaff had in our top4 season. It’s only recently happened but it’s changed everything. First few games of Bruno playing 8 he looked lost. He’d also got into a habit last 6-12 months of forcing things and losing possession as the midfield and surrounding players were static and lethargic. It looks like he mentally freed himself of the pressure of having to instigate everything (maybe becoming captain didn’t help here initially) and in accepting a lesser or shared role re building attacks it’s made everything so much more effective and fluid. We finally look like that 2023 Newcastle team that suffocates the opposition and can blow anyone away in those 15-30 minute spells of dominance. Exciting thing is the 2025 midfield 3 are much better and the potential of the team is higher. Hopefully we can keep it up as I absolutely love how we play when it all clicks like at OT and it was so delicious to embarrass them like that.
I think you’re right on the signings. RW of the quality of the other forwards (I’d like kudus too, mbuemo maybe, don’t think we can afford either), a ball playing GK, a quick cb or two and we’d be cooking.
Very kind LB, glad to hear your kind words. Nothing makes my day more than bringing rival fans together with us. Bless ya all.
Sorry tho LB, we ain't a selling club no more, especially with CL seemingly on the horizon
LB this means alot man. Seriously the top 6 narrative have got teams above thinking were just a feeder club and they can pinch who they want at any price. For you a man city fan tk acknowledge and give us midfield a shout out is progress. Nufc fans see it, it took a live game against man utd for others to see finally. Bruno plays balls like he did to Murphy all the time, that's why miggy had his best scoring season for us. Respect, I hope man city get themselves together
Eddie Howe is the man who built Newcastle United, he is a brilliant coach who have brought out the best in ever player at his disposal, if we hadn't have had so many injuries we would have been right up against Liverpool, its time the cartel realise we aren't selling our superstars, sorry Man City, Arsenal or Liverpool, you just can't afford any of our superstars, they love the project and the atmosphere around the City, yah though we walk through the valley death because of Mike Ashley it's now time to she the Sun shine down on us, What comes next will frighten even Europe's top teams, the sponsorships of our new stadium and train facilities will be world class, it will generate the cash to set us free, maybe our next summers targets will be even better.
Thanks for the glowing respect for my team you showed ....takes a bigger guy to do that.....best wishes
Thanks for the praise for the Toon and yes it was great to beat Manure shame it wasn't by more.
It was a shame it wasn't more but also our players didn't empty their tanks and no injuries. EH is learning man.
Nice video. The repositioning of Tonali deeper and Bruno higher combined with players like Gordon not sulking anymore and back on the left, plus Isak having recovered from a broken toe are the main reasons. Plus Murphy is giving us that right side balance for now. 💪
Nice to see the rest of the league finally respecting Joelinton. He’s been unbelievable for us since the takeover. Man’s a monster.
So...... Underrated 😮
And Typical ENGLISH midfielder like 👀💀
Bully
I’m a Newcastle fan and even games we’ve won I’ve not enjoyed watching but the last few games I’m enjoying watching
I'm a Newcastle fan and early season we weren't clicking. The tactical shift of Tonali to 6 and Bruno to 8 has made a huge difference for the last month. Brilliant midfield and our attack is finally firing- hoping great times ahead.
Newcastle are SCARY
Newcastle fan here, it’s so good hearing another teams fan give us credit. So many casuals just asssume our players aren’t that good because we’re Newcastle and they don’t watch us. Also since Longstaff come out the team and Eddie how got the balance right we’ve been flying! That’s why we had a slow start
I follow you since you spoke about City taking PL to court & won! Told us toon fans to take note, well I did & followed you ever since
Changing Bruno and Tonali around solved the puzzle we had, tonali as a 6 Deep playmaker and moving Bruno to 8 to let him express himself more on a game.
Tonali is a bulldog, we missed him last season
Newcastle don't have Europe this season. However we struggled to integrate Tonali until November. Now we have got the balance right we can Hopefully push on. A RW, CB and striker are needed to push us on.
Guehi and Mbeumo would be unreal signings if you get them
Bruno Guimarães + Sandro Tonali + Joelinton = crazy midfield trio for Newcastle
I’ve been saying it from day one. Bruno G plays his best football in the number 8 position. Look how amazing we are when he has the freedom to do what he wants. Tonali sitting in the number 6 frees Bruno. What a player
Since we started playing Tonali as a 6, we freed up Bruno G abit and thats whats we are seeing now. Brilliant midfield right now. Tonali is for me the most important player and the reason we are this good now
We reversed tonali and bruno. ..flipped tonali to a 6 role and bruno to an 8 ...found a good balance...long may it continue 😊...good shout from a city fan ...respect .
Bruno and Anna are happy here in Newcastle
As a Newcastle fan great to see others recognize the quality of play we sometimes do. We also did it last season until both fatigue and injuries hit us. Last season our style of playing 120% intensity from start to finish wasn't sustainable, but now Eddie has found a balance. A balance he has searched for since preseason.
If only pundits also could recognize it. The only commented and spoke about the game in the view of Manchester U. Only a few short sentences of "Newcastle play if good" when it was fantastic at times - many times.
All down to consistency at the start of the season mate we were losing games we shouldn't have but we've found consistency and it's all down to Tonali moving from an 8 to a 6 position. We have been phenomenal since the defeat away to Brentford .
100% mate since the change it’s been night and day
I am a Newcastle supporter and just want to say that City are firmly my second team- all day long. With the way the premier league and other clubs treat us with our far east owners is a disgrace. We get targeted with corruption all the time just because of our owners.
As a Geordie thank you for this brother 🙏
Loving your analysis. Subscribed and I’m a Newcastle fan 👏
Love for the love LB…. Answer is no!! NOT FOR SALE breeeh!! 👊🏾⚫️⚪️
Really don't think Bruno wants to leave Newcastle
@@chrispotts6727 💯%☑️ / Nope !
@@TonyODOnnell-tt8ghI think about when Lewis Miley scored his first goal for the club and Bruno ran over to celebrate with him almost sobbing his eyes out because of how excited he was for the kid. Truly a part of our toon family Bruno is
@@SugonRiver42 Exactly
This has been a weird season for us (NUFC). We started not playing well but picking up points, then we had a spell of not picking up points but playing well, now we're 5 wins on the spin, with 16 scored and only one conceded. We've picked up points against the "big boys" all season, beating Arsenal, Villa, Spurs, Man U and Forest, and drawing with Man City and Liverpool. But we've lost games we were expected to win, hence our league position. I think you're dead right that the players have struggled with the transition from prey to predator and, i hate to say it, shown a bit of arrogance towards teams that they've deemed inferior, and paid the price. Thankfully, Eddie Howe seems to have smacked that out of them. I wouldn't swap our midfield, Gordon or Isak for any in the league. We have Botman to come back from his injury too. And, in the young lads Hall and Livramento i reckon we might have England's fullbacks for the next ten years. After a decade and a half of Mike Ashley, us NUFC fans just don't know what to make of this 🤣
I need Bruno to come so bad he’s so perfect,honestly pay 200 mil I don’t care
It's not happening. He loves it at the Toon...
Both his new borns are Geordie 's , as well...
Bruno is going nowhere
Absolutely loved this video! Smiling my head off, they are brilliant, honestly they are an insane trio! Every single one of them is OUTSTANDING! 👏🏼🖤🤍
I’m Newcastle fan and villa are struggling like we did playing the extra games in champions league, PSR is killing us like villa getting to spend to strengthen the squad players to rotate more is are problems , we struggled to break down defence like you said , that’s why we are 5th now with tonali on and longstaff relegated to the bench where he should of always been it’s clicked , we need a RW and two CD for the future as hall and Tino are both England players and young so we need two more , we wouldn’t sell Bruno that’s why we didn’t buy in the last window and can’t see us getting anyone in the Jan window because of PSR 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 it’s a joke but it’s doing what they wanted , keeping us from competing, same with villa good enough to get up but can’t stay with the squad players not good enough as they can’t spend on them only 1 first team or two if lucky
we have been saying this since he arrived, hes the best midfielder to ever play for us, by far
Great to see recognition from non-NUFC fans. We are very happy right now. Bruno ain't going anywhere.
the midfield struggled earlier in the season trying to find the best way to play both Tonali and Bruno, with Tonali also struggling to get up to pace with the PL, this resulted in a lot of poor team performances. Since Tonali was shifted to the central No.6 position team performances started to improve, Tonali is now up to speed and this has basically been the key to unlocking the midfield trio potential. We all know how good Bruno, Isak, Joelinton and Gordon are, but Tonali has been the key and is only gonna get better. Also a mention for young Lewis Hall at left back.....what a player !
Flowers from LB wowza.
We've had a few issues to deal with but we're on it atm, switching Tonali to the 6 has leveled us up.
He was poor last night lol.
Freeing Bruno into the 6 has made us more dangerous but it's controlled.
Need RW, RCB and a keeper.
Botman to return.
I think a creative right winger is number one on the list for the transfer window. Murphy is having a good run right now but an upgrade on both him and Miggy is desperately required, after that start looking at defenders. The back four has settled a lot since Dubravka is starting. It's no easy job for Pope to get back his spot at the minute with the run Dubs is having right now, it would be daft to go straight back to Pope
The desperation of some CC's is hilarious lol, first it was Bruno39 to citeh, then it was Isak14 to the Gonners then Tonali8 back to Milan. BTW MoreLB have a wet one and dream-on, you will NOT get wor Bruno. We have a project in place, just like you once did if ya remember. Good podcast btw 👏👏👏
It’s looking good now, but it’s taken until December for Howe to find the right combination. Originally he was playing Bruno in the 6 and Tonali in the 8, but switching them has unlocked it.
Why did Newcastle struggle in the early part of the season? I think the number one reason was the squad was deeply unsettled by the transfer talk. Because of FFP, the club thought they might have to sell one of Gordon, Isak or Bruno. All three seem to lose confidence in the club's future and their performances all suffered. Over time, Howe has slowly settled then down and got them to believe in each other and in the club again. And then Tonali's suspension ended and it took him a month or so to get up his fitness levels. After he did, he was given the deep lying midfield position that Bruno used to have allowing Bruno to be a lot more creative going forward. Together with Joelinton they are now exceptional together and we have not looked back since they began to play as a unit.
Pep would have them top of the league. Always knew bruno was class and was mad upset when city didn't hit the release clause in the summer. That there was the sign my lads. Great stuff lb!!
It’s not always about activating the release clause, the player himself has to want to go…
And Bruno has given no indication he wants to leave Newcastle, in fact it’s the complete opposite.
😂😂😂 he can't even get city top of thr league
@@AlwaysOnsideAFC have you had amnesia the last 4 years? 🤣🤣🤣
We're fine with howe thanks
Eddie howe is good enough for us
Good stuff man from a Toon fan
Absolutley spot on lad.
Class review.
I just wanted to back up Tino and Hall, lately they’ve been class too.
PSR is stopping us, not the manager. It pisses me off that the club aren't going all out to get sponsors in. Need your APT final judgements to come out to reverse the rules, hopefully you win your case too, because that would throw the PL into disarray and hopefully get rid of Masters.
Our team is top class. Once Botman comes back that will massively help our defence. We need a RW, a Schar replacement RCB, a 2nd striker, a new RB if Tripps goes and a GK. Extra squad depth to compete in Europe too but certainly those positions are priority. But do we have the money to get them, that's the issue.
We absolutely do not want to sell any of our top players and if we get Europe I don't see any of them wanting to go, the bond these players have, the unity is incredible and they all absolutely love the club.
If City could help us out with some loans that would be great 😉
First time I've seen Sven mentioned. Remember he's a Rolls Royce. I'd be happy with Mbuemo for a push this season.
Release clause gone. We are going to keep them all for our own ambitions
💯 %
We are playing better now because Eddie worked out the correct formation and team selection. Tonali playing at 6 has been brilliant.
As a mad Geordie still love ya vids mate
respect LB, I said our three are best in EPL, but it is definitely a case of hands-off.
It took us a while to get going plus finally found a place for Tonali at 6 and Bruno at 8.
Happy days
Sandro Tonali and Bruno G are bossing any midfield in the prem at the minute especially in this form I agree mate
Sven botman to come back. Hes class
funny how a rival fan can see our 3 biggest weaknesses lol
Nice to hear us get some plaudits, unlike other news sources where they just focus on how bad the opposition has been. I just think we've been too inconsistent this season, getting beat 2-0 to West Ham at home is a great example of a game we should be winning if we want to get into the top 4. Your totally right about teams sitting back against us, that's probably another flaw we have the at the minute where we can't break those types of teams down.
Agree with you mate ◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻ They are happy way up north.
Thank you for all your kind words about the toon,it took a couple of weeks to get the team clicking and I knew we would be ok,but lb your right we need a right winger,world class keeper,and another right cb and I think we can challenge for Europe every season,I dislike Man Utd they have broken my heart over the yrs,but I do like Man City so pleased for you upsetting the 5 cartel teams
We didn’t click first 10 games of the season . Tonali was banned for the first 3 games of the season and Gordon took a while to get back into form after the euros , isak has an injury and was missing for a few games as well with Wilson missing and who we lost in minteh and Anderson so there was a lot of uncertainty around the club and we looked nervous, Nick popes keeping wasn’t the same as usual either so a lot of factors
Not in the top 4 because Gordon, Bruno and Joelinton didn't have a pre-season and Tonali was still banned for first month and a half of the season. If this midfield engine was firing on all cylinders since the start of the season we might have been fighting for it. What I love is that this is a Newcastle side that has creativity all the way through, but unlike seasons past, where our flair players would try to avoid harming the grass too much when getting back to defend, this team attack and defend as a unit.
I think Gundogan is a good comparison to Bruno technically complete and can play all midfield roles but really excels on the ball in a more offensive capacity.
Calum wilson has been injured and Isak was struggling with a foot injury but he's back now.
Great video! Our midfield is coming together finaly! We look great atm but we're still having problems with low blocks.
Manure game is nothing to go by, they are utter shite and we did 30 good minutes. You're right about 3 new signings and we're up there but depth is an issue. HWTL!
His ability to make space is insane. He can turn you in a phone booth. Not for sale. 160m+
Bruno and Isak have said they are happy at Newcastle and want to stay. If we get a quality goalkeeper, a RCB, a right winger and another forward in case Isak gets injured. We are also getting Botman back.
What’s frustrating is all of us Newcastle fans have been calling for Tonali to play as a 6 and Bruno as an 8, and that switch only happened recently. Hence our great form.
We won’t finish top 4 as our away form is typically quite bad
Newcastle fan And what a video mate , well said and honest seems there is people out there that can speak good about our boys , Personally i prefer this team to the entertainers far far better SUBED MATE THANK YOU'
Bruno said he only leave for Real Madrid But now he loves the toon and his father living there , He loves us Geordies
And says his baby is a GEORDIE AND PROUD hehee hes class in LOVE with the toon , AWESOME VID MATE
I wanted him back in summer and many were saying 80-85 mil was too much.
Spot on we do have the best midfield in the premier league. If we get a quality right winger then you could argue that we may have the best forward line..
As a newcastle fan totally agree, probably another striker would be good
Cheers LB mate 👍 nufc ❤
Am sure we toon fans would relish having Haaland playing for us but realise it is a pipe dream….the old Newcastle under Ashley would definitely have Bruno leaving for a large bag of cash but hopefully those stupid days are just a horrible memory. Bruno is settled on Tyneside as far as I can see and is our captain and not pushing to leave. Remember we are not the poor relation to the so called big 6 now as we were once upon time….we are building a team and the next part is to build a bigger stadium to be envied…we are after all owned by PIF and the Reuben brothers so capital isn’t a problem going forward. City have been the blueprint for what the Newcastle fans want…attractive attacking football with success at the end result.
There has been a few games this season where we have battered sides, west Ham, Brighton at home, Everton away, and we have been shite in front of goal. Brighton had 1 chance and scored with it, won 1-0, Isak missed a few games with broken toe and took a while to fire up as well.
Title race is not far off need backup for Isak , goalkeeper, defender, and right winger . Within 5 or 3 years if they keep the core of team.
What a video about our lads
Respect LB Toon Fan here lets see what the season brings if we finish in Europe no chance of getting anybody from us we will strengthen = we will challenge next season but is Eddie the man ??
On *current form, absolutely !
Newcastle fan here . Our problem seems to be we are better against better teams. Hopefully we have returned to our free scoring play which is amazing to watch. On players we have some others pivotal to the future - you haven't mentioned our best CH Sven Botman who has been injured all season and is due to come back.Plus we have a brilliant defender in 20 year old Lewis Hall. and Livramento, Goalkeeper is a bit tricky and perhaps another CH to replace Schah who is aging and a right winger. It was sad because we had to sell Minteh before he even played for us because of FFP. He was the RW we needed. Plus losing Anderson was hard too - another awesome player [now doing well for Forest] we lost because of the FFP rules.
We are not in the top four as we simply had an inconsistent start. The players had a heart to heart and simply went on and did what Eddie has been asking them to do. Also keep an eye on Lewis Hall, best left back in the premier league. Tino on the right is also coming through.
They have a beautiful midfield. I'm still convinced that we could get Bruno if we paid the price Newcastle wants for him. He is happy there, but they need the money and honestly, Bruno is reaching an age where that if he wants this big move, then it's about time.
Really impressed by their whole midfield 3 and if we had them we would be clear even of Liverpool. I'd take any of the 3.
Even to Liverpool! 😂
"Even of Liverpool"
That's some funny delusional stuff.
@@IRISHATLANTIC Liverpool aint all that. They very good - Right now. But they're on some weird golden spell and tbh it's because they don't have us there pushing them. They always crumble when we do.
You'll see next season. Liverpool is a great team but nowhere near what we are as a club atm.
@@HerbalMCFCGoing to try and buy your way out of trouble again! Everyone is watching now. The only crumbling I see is Pep.
@@IRISHATLANTIC Buy our way out of trouble? Sorry but do you know any other way when you need players? lol
Crumbling is hardly appropriate. You rival fans are always so reactionary.
I've always said the moment Bruno leaves for a better team the world will get the better idea how amazing of a player he is. Man City I think do have the chance they will have to pay that big money though.
and about why we're not in the title race I think that got to do with finding our rythm a bit late. we were really really poor at the beginning of the season, we were very lucky to even pick up points.
Top guy thank you for praising from a nufc fan, what annoys me we have no consistency, we show up against the big teams and lose to the teams below, Brighton and West Ham were strange games I think it was only Chelsea we lost to in the league out of the big 6, I'd hate to see Bruno G leave he's our engine, we need rid of the deadwood we still have Mike Ashley signings and there lyes our problem, Longstaff,Almiron,Dubravka,Wilson,J Murphy,Krafth and Lascelles takeover signings ,Pope,Kelly,Targett they aren't good enough for title contenders, we also need Lewis and Hayden off the books they have been great to build us to the next level, we don't need to sell the damage was done when we sold Minteh and Anderson for £80 million and only paid £15 million for Osula and I dunno if it was £30 million for Lewis Hall but we had strong table finishes, champions league money, Adidas sponsorships so I'm confused why we need to sell star assets we aren't a selling club anymore we are a development club
The perfect replacement for Rodri being out is tonali ,Bruno is amazing but tonali is better especially in the position you need at present replacing rodri whilst he’s out
Apart from that you hit the nail on the head in the video
The bad start this season was down to finding our feet with the new style of play with teams parking the bus against us and discovering how to play against it
We dont need isntant success like you city boys. We can build and no pressure on eddy we want him long term!
Not in top 4 because….no show v West Ham at home (should have been 3 pts v bang ave side), tossed a win away v Crystal Palace 2 pts… Brighton at home….???? It’s frustrating!!
I cannot make out the name of the other signing you said we should go for? I can get Kudus which I agree is a possibility but I cannot make out the name of the other one?
Brilliant words mate from a Newcastle fan! we do have Sven botman to come back aswel! but right wing is a defo!
Not for sale
You could argue there are better individuals in other teams in midfield but as a group of three and in terms of balance and cohesion, there aren’t many better than our midfield.
