We Need To Talk About Tonali! Newcastle 4-0 Leicester Reaction

[@AllanM2e0]

Lewis hall was absolutely phenomenal today. His consistency in performances, fitness and composure too he just looks like he is getting better and better every game. Man of the match for me.

[@finbarrsaunders]

@@AllanM2e0 I thought he was MoTM as well. Tireless work & energy and some sublime passing & through balls. He's thriving under Eddie & Jase and with the likes of Bruno, Tonali Isak & Gordon round about him. 👍

[@bkbaughn]

Hall's defensive positioning has improved 10 fold this season... Kids so young too... Chelsea are going to regret allowing him to come to the Toon!

Lewis Hall developing into a top left back and visibly improving every week

[@John-zs5nw]

Agreed and once we get a right winger to compliment Gordon well see that Livramento is also just as capable...we have a very bright future ahead of us...

[@lookskyewalker]

Agree 100%, your exactly right in your analysis of Isak. Had he scored the 1 on 1 it was a 10 outa 10 performance.

[@OliverStevens-v7u]

This is excellent and accurate analysis for a non-NUFC fan!

[@69woodys]

Thanks for another great review, Alice 🖤🤍🖤

[@stevein.]

Newcastle feels like an upgraded Tottenham. They play good game, get fantastic wins and draws, then lose awkwardly against sides you expect them to win. Meanwhile, great analysis Ms. Alice

[@House0fHoot]

We are Magpies, not Chickens! Only Spurs are truly spursy 😄

[@colindavid2078]

As a Newcastle fan, I tend to agree....unfortunately! We play our socks off against bigger teams, and take the "smaller" teams for granted and then get our asses handed to us! I hate this..... if You can play great then play F**K*ng great against even the "smaller" teams"! That's how you be the best, and that is why you are getting paid millions!! 101% EVERY GAME!!!!

[@MrLondinium]

Just like Spurs, we struggle against sides that sit back and hit us on the counter-attack. That's most of the sides in the bottom of the league. Bruno moving forward into the 8 role really helps us break down a packed defence but we still need some more pace at the back.

[@davidforster1628]

Isak general play has gone up this season. His assists and passing have been sweet. He’ll always score goals though ❤

[@mandypyle6495]

Alice.i love listening to to your comments on Newcastle and what I do like that your just so honest,that’s why I subscribed to your show,I fully agree with you but all Newcastle fans have been screaming out for Sandro Tonali to start what a player and beside my best player Bruno we have a very good midfield

[@Cidereater]

Great analysis. The lads fairy showed up today to dominate Leicester. Amazing performance from so many players but Hall, Gordon, Bruno and Tonali definitely emptied the tank

[@AllyBeee1]

Spot on as always Alice. Would love Mbeumo but can't see it due to PSR. More likely relying on Mitchell to find some gems. Hall is insane, love Tonali & Bruno together, think Bruno will be suited to the advanced role he likes scoring. Defence is an issue we need to address, Botman due back soon but Schar is definitely getting slower. Isak was surprisingly less clinical today but he was involved in everything as was Gordon. Great game, very happy with the boys.

[@EverMoreNUFC]

Great video Alice. You speak so well about other clubs & it's amazing content. We'd love to do something with you if you're ever interested. Just drop us a message on socials if so. Hands off Bruno tho! 😂

Accurate analysis on bruno. Apart from speed / pace, he has everything as an 8 or 6

[@yanited1892]

He literally tracked the most distance on the pitch last season than any other player in the Premier League.

[@dennisnielsen4289]

​@@yanited1892He is unplayable when not hindered by being captain, try and change my mind.

[@geordiedog1749]

As a Toon fan in London the noise from Gunners about Isak is getting louder. And louder. And louder. Basically, Arsenal sign Isak and the planet cools down, poverty ends, workers control means of production. And they win the league. I guess after today it’s going to get even louder.

[@TonyODOnnell-tt8gh]

They have Zilch, chance... Why would he demote himself. He's happy hear, has approx 3 years left on his current contract - without even mentioning the new one, that they want him to sign. Let them be loud, & louder, still..

[@ChefRojo]

@@TonyODOnnell-tt8gh Every player has a price mate. And, because of the Premier league's anti-competition laws, NUFC need to find a way to make money. If someone comes in with £150m for him, the board will see an opportunity to rebuild the first team. That's over £100m in profit. Coupled with whatever money the club already has, and one or two free transfers, you're talking about potentially 5 new starters; GK, RCB, DM, RW, ST, plus some back ups, while keeping the majority of the current team; Gordon, Tonali, Bruno, Hall, Tino, and Botman. Show Trippier, Almiron, Wilson, and Targett the door. Get their wages off the books. Make room for new players, bring down the average age of the squad, complete the starting line up, fill out the squad... That's exactly what we need to be competing for top 5 every season. So I wouldn't be upset at all if Isak was sold. Providing the board uses it as an opportunity to do something resembling what I've described here. Saying all that, I hope, if he does go, it isn't to Arsenal. The way the media, journalists, pundits, and commentators have gone on is sickeningly entitled. And their manager is the biggest tit in the league. He deserves zero success and a swift kick to the groin. Awful bloke.

[@Blaydoner]

Arsenal couldn't afford him, simple as. If they want him they'll have to wait til he's got 6 months left unless they sell someone to be able to afford the 100+ million they'll need.

[@ChefRojo]

@@Blaydoner Of course they can afford him. I don't know his price, but I personally wouldn't let him go for under 150m. The Premier League will turn a blind eye to Arsenal going beyond PSR. That's what PSR exists for, to protect the septic 6. The rules don't apply to them. They can definitely afford him. But if I was Isak, I would be aiming for something better than that club.

[@DavidFoster-i7o]

@@ChefRojo arsenal can't afford him. They smashed the bank for Rice and that was spreading a lesser fee over several years. For PSR they will demand money up front

[@JaymzZeppelin]

I think it's crazy how people still rate Bruno ahead of Tonali. Sandro is much more impactful imo.

[@kyletomey43]

Totally agree, personally I'd cash in on Bruno to make way for further signings and release PSR pressures.

[@elmohuaerte6082]

That is why tonali was a player of Milan back then

[@dennisnielsen4289]

The problem with Bruno seems to be, that having him as captain, seems to undermine his real qualities as a free role midfielder, which he excelled in last season and the season before. Newcastle needs a real leader. Bruno is a very good player, who should focus on what he is good at. Tonali looks to be the player that Bruno used to be, before he was made captain, anyone agree?

[@dennisnielsen4289]

​​​@@kyletomey43im actually starting to agree to a certain degree, or strip him of the captaincy. It has degraded him as a player. It would be a shame to lose a player of his calibre. He is very similar to Cabaye, in his passing style, and seems to have a good shot in him too. But since being captain, he seems more lost in midfield, not getting so much forward like he used to in the beginning. I would like to see more of that Bruno again.

[@kyletomey43]

@dennisnielsen4289 it pains me to say it but just don't think he's the same player he has been. Don't know if that's the captaincy or his fitness as he seems much slower this season and gets caught in possession alot. Don't get me wrong he does win alot of free kicks but I expect much more from him. I love his passion but the time could be right if we could get £75 to £90M for him. It would solve some of our short term financial pressures and possibly give more opportunities for Lewis Miley and Alfie Harrison

[@ryuhassan6910]

Thank you Alice for a lovely reaction ❤. You need to marry a geordie 😂 lol.

[@CoachNiklas]

Alexander Isak for president!

[@Goomyfan-r6g]

Newcastle must get that RW and CB in Jan. Instead of spending 60 mil on Guehi, they should look at 2 young, high potential players like Hall/Gordon/Livramento. RW links - Akliouche/Bakayoko/Dibling CB links - Guehi/Mosquera/Khusanov/Acheampong?

[@GeordieDreadTV]

Feel like you got a soft spot for Newcastle 👌🏾👌🏾. Some good points made here 👊🏿

[@Micky-n3m]

Great video Alice. Your stats and analysis are second to none. I love Eddie Howe and I hope we can finally win a trophy under him and then kick on from there. Can I ask you as a non NUFC fan if we can only sign one position in January because of PSR would you strengthen CF cover for Isak, a player to challenge and upgrade RW or a RCB for the aging Schar? (who is still excellent still btw) If it was not for PSR we would buy all 3 and would be knocking on the door for top 6 / top 4 more consistently. Cheers! 😊

[@hazey5062]

Jacob Murphy is underrated ,if he stays fit, he will score goals

[@geordiedog1749]

All the Murph haters gone very quiet. He gets shite from a lot of folks when it’s the whole team is poor. Ok, he’s missed chances but so did Isak. Players who never miss chances are like at city or psg or Madrid/barca.

[@TonyODOnnell-tt8gh]

Nah... he's a good squad player, that's it, imo...

[@finbarrsaunders]

Against pub teams maybe. Any half decent premiership left back clowns him easily, as we have seen for years.

[@noooname2568]

He ain’t consistent. He has one decent game then goes missing for the next 8

[@deanc6664]

@@noooname2568 I disagree, he's only inconsistent if you only pay attention to a couple of stats, mainly in regards to shots. What he does in terms of defensive duties and building play are often consistent. Every player misses shots, hits a cross too hard, makes a bad pass, even those you call consistent. Right wing is a place we need to upgrade, Murphy will be a good second option/impact sub. He's consistent enough, his level just doesn't match those around him like Gordon, Isak, Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton, he's slightly behind then in quality and therefor he gets a lot of slack. It's a similar position to longstaff who also gets a lot of "inconsistent" naff without looking at the bigger picture roles they play in the games.

[@ninjashrimpgaming2657]

Lewis Hall MOTM

[@jrws89]

if only we weren't completely hamstrung with PSR we would be a top 6 side no doubt. all we can do is try and compete and trade smartly. it was a good performance yesterday but like what most teams in positions 5th to 12th have at the moment consistency has been a major problem. completely agree with your points regarding Diomande as a CB option. I was banging the Diomande drum all of this summer whilst everybody lost their heads over Guehi. He would have been a much better option financially and also is better in the air than Guehi and is a much more imposing CB.

[@davidmilne9911]

We Newcastle had a good day today at HOME, but away form is poor and been inconsistent. Need a good run of wins to make up ground for couple poor unexpected defeats this season

[@pgVeritas]

Let's hope he starts the same 11 against Brentford in the cup. We lost last week because Eddie didn't have the balls to say "no" to Barnes.

[@John-zs5nw]

I think the players played exceptionally and Murphy plus Izak should have had 1 or 3 more each. Also I have to say I'm very interested to see how Ruud sorts of this team as there seemed to be a real disconnect between their midfield and defensive players when it came to how attack as a team

[@Afterthoughtbtw]

We don't talk about Bruno. No, no, no.

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

A great performance 👏

[@ManuRangar]

Lots of positives but we were up against a poor side who didn’t show up and the general trend in the last 12 months for NUFC has been regression. Blame lack of recruitment and injuries. But we are more easily found out by teams, give away silly goals and lack consistency.

Bruno needs to be freed of the captaincy, that's what has regressed him. He used to have a more free role which suited him a lot more, I don't know wth Eddie is thinking... Lack of true leaders obviously.

In my opinion Newcastle need a new striker that can challenge isak and further develop him as a forward. Players like benzema, osimhan.

[@dennisnielsen4289]

Definitely need something else than Wilson, he is done. Has been for two years. Quality striker when he does play, which is, 5 games a season, if you are lucky. Osula is definitely not the answer right now, it's obvious why he doesn't get more playing time, I'm sure he will come good in a year or two.

[@geordiedog1749]

Craig bloody Hope has been moaning about the Toon midfield for months and months. It’s a bit poor from a so called pro journalist to not see beyond the bleedin’ obvious. It is the Daily Mail I suppose. Howe has been trying to make the two central midfielder roles develop in to something more than one stays and one goes. It’s better if they can both do both roles depending on the situation, time and place. I think maybe that Sandro and Bruno need to do the traditional role for a bit and then develop the more perspicacious positioning.

[@deanc6664]

The job of mainstream media is to create drama, if things are not going well they're always the first to direct the finger pointing and rumors. Don't pay them any attention. Their job isn't to deliver news, their only bias is toward their income and how many clicks they can get.

[@finbarrsaunders]

Murphy is the perfect example of what's wrong with Newcastle. Totally agree with you, Hall, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon & Isak are world class, but then you look at what's around them... Murphy... Against a terrible Leicester side he wasted so many simple chances at important times. Yes, he got a goal from a set piece, and scored when under no pressure & Isak put it on a plate for him, but even that was his second attempt after he'd already missed an almost identical even easier one. 3 or 4 times in open play, especially at 0-0 he was missing sitters by a mile. And lets be honest this was against Leicester who were awful. As soon as he comes up against any defender who knows what they're doing, he shits the bed every time. He's just not good enough. Let him go back to the championship where he belongs & might look like a world beater again. Thats his level.

[@kitcole4927]

He also played well in the last game !

[@dennisnielsen4289]

Finally someone speaks some truth about Murphy. I never saw what was so good about him. Yes he has heart, and that's basically it. But but but he is a boyhood Newcastle fan, yes, does that make him a good player? No. He showed us exactly where his level was yesterday. Murphy is a fine enough squad player, but that's it. Like he showed several times yesterday, he could not hit the air if he was in a storm.
