Graz, my light weight comment more so implied his actions/play on the pitch, not body weight.
Yes he's struggling with every excuse under the sun - been out on loan, didn't know the team mates, this and that, match fitness in a slow paced game.
A mickey mouse game not played at full tilt.
Therefore show us something thats what you expect from any up and comer, pretty normal to me.
You get only so many chances in the end.

Newcastle 'played their kids' tonight, but worth remembering half of the All Stars' eight goals were scored by players aged 21, 21, 22 and 22, the starting goalkeeper was 21 and an 18-year-old came off the bench and provided an assist.

Thiese tryhards are way more plastic than anything the a league dishes up. Imagine pretending you’re that hard core a supporter when you’re just a customer on the other side off the world going to a stupid game.

Insufferable. I'm fortunate every A League game I've been to when visiting has been very lively. Saw City Mariners 3:3, Sydney WU 4:2? and NYE CCM Perth. Plenty of good football and if these clowns went and watched, it'd only add to the atmosphere and talk to make it a good day out. 

Doesn’t look promising for you.
Gooners all over em 

Probably try YouTube if there is any chance of finding our old Socceroos games from that time. 

Agree I blame the event organisers and clubs in underestimating the level.

Our level isn’t perfect like anywhere but it’s underrated. 

Just need the girls to win now 

well a good trivia now

Its made social media fun reading tonight for all the trolling. 

Hahaha the bants, not good for Toon branding as mentioned.

Like I said, we’ll wait and see.

For some reason I thought FIFA uploaded all the full match replays for the confederations cup on FIFA+, but I guess not from a search.

I did find the 1999 U-17 World Cup Final though

Some funny newcaslte comments

This is about setting the benchmark. We'll be back next year with a new crop of youngsters to see if we can only lose 6-0.

It's an objective measure of our progress at youth level. If you can think of a better one, contact the club. "

The second half was walk in goals. 

LOL 8-0? was stuck at work missed it... that will at least make headlines in the UK. 

San Marino are already getting involved on their twitter lol asking to play them next. 

If im not mistaken that was newcastles biggest ever defeat

Yes it was u21 but still a great stat for stirring

8 to be Newcastle right now 

He is playing in a team that he would hardly know anyone at and he already knows he's going on loan again. Cant be easy for him, but yeah he needs his next move to work.  

I don't care about weight, you can put on weight in a single season

I think he generated 3 turnovers in the final third. 1 every other game is good defence. So that part of his game has improved

he was always very poor at opening passing lanes or knowing where to run. On the ball some nice touches but well down from even 6 months ago. Second half much quieter, so probably lost match fitness along with confidence

I think we would see a very different player if he goes to a league 1 side or an Australian side in the ACL (where you get a full length season). He needs a mentor that can tell him where to run and his confidence will come back with game time

The womens game will be fine, Id expect Arsenal to be full strength and win. Having Newcastle play 2 games within 5 days of finishing the season on the other side of the world was just stupid. 

I was worried this could happen watching them the other night, that game was in slow motion against Spurs. But I thought by playing the kids, there could be some more intensity and we might get a better game. Didnt happen. 

No more club friendlies thanks

Yes but I more meant when seeing the result etc 

of course the game is just some fun but they can’t have it both ways 

Doubt bitters are watching or giving a poop.

Anyway terrible by Toon Howe playing majority of kids, shame for the ex pat Toon supporters.
Good on AStars easiest Mickey Mouse game I’ve watched.

I guess the bitters will say the a league is better than the epl now considering they use that thinking as evidence as a league being a joke when they lose when playing out of season in 2nd string sides 😂😂

There you go mate.
Hes done more in 5mins compared Kuols time on the pitch this and previous game.

Holy shit. Just turned this on. That 5th goal was amazing 

Why not sub on irankunda?

Its a marketing game, and people want to watch his last game in australia

Seriously - all I’m seeing is a light weight.
Hope he proves me wrong one day we shall see.
