00:00Hello everybody, how we doing?

00:02Little bit of a change of scenery today.

00:04I'm in the comfort of my living room.

00:06I looked outside preparing to do this video.

00:08Put my coat on and thought

00:10Nah, looks grim.

00:12And I've noticed in some of my previous videos

00:14I've been getting savagely attacked by the wind.

00:16So I thought I'd do today

00:18from the comfort of my living room.

00:20So yeah, we'll see how it goes.

00:22Where do you start? Obviously you've got to

00:24look at that defeat the other day.

00:26Where did that come from?

00:28Newcastle on a 9 game winning run

00:30then all of a sudden, in true Newcastle United

00:32fashion, a game they should be

00:34winning at home, full house, early

00:36kick-off, Bournemouth have travelled the length of the country

00:38and then they end up slapping

00:40Newcastle 4-1.

00:42Credit to Bournemouth, they deserved it.

00:44Right from the

00:46opening couple

00:48of minutes, you can see

00:50Antonio Arreola's got them so well

00:52drilled. I think going into the game

00:54they were 5th lowest in the league for

00:56possession, but they looked so

00:58well drilled, they were knocking it about

01:00ticky-tack.

01:02They were pressing high at the pitch

01:04they really did a number on Newcastle

01:06at home. It's been coined

01:08on social media and a couple of pundits have put it

01:10out there as well. They did

01:12what Newcastle have done to other

01:14teams, to Newcastle.

01:16So yeah, I think hats off

01:18to Bournemouth, thoroughly deserved the win.

01:20From Newcastle's

01:22point of view, it really was a poor

01:24performance. Alex had that he barely

01:26touched the ball. Dan Byrne, he's passive

01:28in the first half. I don't know if he

01:30was seeing a black and white shirt

01:32in the crowd or something, but every time

01:34he got the ball he tried to play a Hollywood pass

01:36at the midfield and it would just totally lose possession.

01:38Fabian Scherr came on, he

01:40was exactly the same. I think him and Dan Byrne

01:42must have been sharing a half-time snap or something

01:44because he came out exactly the same as Dan Byrne

01:46giving the ball away cheaply.

01:48It was just an all-round terrible afternoon

01:50for Newcastle.

01:52With Man City winning as well, they moved level

01:54on points with Newcastle in fourth spot and

01:56Chelsea play tonight, so

01:58a lot of eyes will be on that Chelsea game. Can Newcastle

02:00cling on to that fifth spot? But for

02:02the result itself, Newcastle

02:04you know, you can't just credit

02:06the form they've been on lately.

02:08So Eddie Howell will be hoping

02:10that's an outlier rather than a sign of things

02:12to come. There was

02:14no real positives to take away from

02:16the game. I thought if anyone deserved credit

02:18maybe Tonali, but then you're reaching

02:20there. It was a

02:22stinkfest really from a Newcastle point of view.

02:24It was probably the worst

02:26performance, especially at home, that they've put in

02:28since Chris Wood came back

02:30and haunted them and bagged a hat-trick.

02:32So yeah, what I would

02:34say is if there's one team

02:36you want to be playing

02:38to bounce back from a game like that

02:40it is Southampton. Rock bottom of the league, got

02:42six points. Tyler Dibbling,

02:44a player who has been linked with Newcastle,

02:46is injured with an ankle injury for the next

02:48six weeks or so. So

02:50Southampton are there for the taking and that would be a good

02:52way to get back on track and

02:54try not to dim

02:56the mood too much because I do think

02:58there has been an understanding from Newcastle fans

03:00that yes, they've given it all

03:02in recent weeks and

03:04trying to highlight

03:06it as a freak result rather than

03:08ripping them too much. Away from the

03:10football and the big story that's dropped in

03:12the past 24 hours is on Lloyd Kelly.

03:14Now on Friday, Eddie Howell

03:16was asked at his press conference

03:18what's happening with Lloyd Kelly?

03:20All these reports are coming out from

03:22Fenerbahce's side and Fenerbahce's

03:24board member,

03:26Akun Elekhani, who actually owns

03:28Hull City as well, he had been

03:30flapping his gums to the media saying

03:32we're in for Lloyd Kelly, we're in talks

03:34with Newcastle. Now Eddie Howell

03:36really got annoyed by that.

03:38He dismissed it as noise from

03:40their side. So it's

03:42interesting that yesterday

03:44Richie Romano, who I'm sure you're all aware

03:46of who he is, he came out

03:48and said Juventus are in for Lloyd Kelly.

03:50Now, what do I make of that?

03:52It sort of says

03:54the power and the might of the Premier League

03:56that a player who has barely had a kick

03:58for Newcastle this season can then

04:00all of a sudden be linked with a move to

04:02Juventus. I mean, how times change.

04:04If he were to move to Juventus

04:06he may finally get the hide and black and white stripes

04:08on because Newcastle fans haven't

04:10really seen much of him. But

04:12in a PSR world, that would

04:14make sense I think.

04:16If Newcastle can get good money for him

04:18all the noises are

04:20suggesting a similar sort of

04:22situation to Fenerbahce, that this is coming

04:24from the Juventus side

04:26from the Italy side. There's been no

04:28indication from Newcastle's

04:30camp or Newcastle's side

04:32at all regarding

04:34Lloyd Kelly. I'm sure it's going to be another

04:36question that Eddie Howell is going to have to face

04:38before the trip to Southampton on the weekend.

04:40But just back on the PSR

04:42point, with Miguel Almiron

04:44it's looking like

04:46he's going to leave. If Lloyd Kelly were to

04:48follow suit, how much wiggle room would that

04:50create on the balance sheet? Could they get a new player in?

04:52Some reports

04:54have been saying Lloyd Kelly, Newcastle

04:56are wanting 25 million, 30 million

04:58Euros from him. I think that would be

05:00a bit too steep, especially for a player that

05:02signed for nothing last year and he hasn't done

05:04anything of note to sort of

05:06enhance that value at all.

05:08A bit of Newcastle luck, he

05:10didn't cost anything. It would be a similar

05:12situation to Yancuba Minty, you know

05:14they signed him for peanuts

05:16didn't even kick a ball from Newcastle

05:18and then they moved him on for PSR reasons.

05:20And Lloyd Kelly, you've got to look at that pecking

05:22order as well. You've got

05:24Steve Bottman just came back from injury

05:26Dan Byrne and then you've got Fabian

05:28Schär who can also play both sides of centre-half

05:30and so Lloyd Kelly

05:32Lewis Hall's nailed down the left-back spot

05:34and Dan Byrne, Bottman and Schär

05:36are ahead of him in the pecking order at centre-back

05:38so if they can get a good fee for him

05:40I don't see why Newcastle would accept it

05:42the reports flying around at the minute suggesting

05:44they're wanting 30 million, I think that's

05:46probably a little bit on the steep side.

05:48That's it for today everybody, thank you for

05:50watching and look, I know

05:52it's Blue Monday. Experts are

05:54calling this the most depressing day of the year

05:56and maybe you're feeling a little bit down in the dumps

05:58after that horror show the other day

06:00but as I mentioned earlier in the video

06:02better days are coming and Newcastle have a

06:04perfect chance next weekend

06:06against Southampton to get back on that

06:08win column. The transfer window

06:10there's still about 11 days or so left

06:1211, 12 days, I don't know

06:14what day it is.

06:16All the talk at the minute is about

06:18outgoings. A couple of players

06:20out in Newcastle could have scope there

06:22to maybe sneak a player through the door

06:24and yeah, can't forget about the Carabao Cup

06:26either. Newcastle, that's covered

06:28like the coal and they've got that massive semi-final

06:30covered up. Most people would

06:32probably lean and say Newcastle have already

06:34got one foot in the final

06:36but that might be a little bit premature

06:38you know how this club rolls by now

06:40but yeah, cheers for watching everybody

06:42and I'll see you later on in the week.
