I thought he was quite poor yesterday
what happened to him today? Did the injury look bad?
Ange said he felt something in the first half but tried to carry on.
Don’t know if it’s the same injury he had a few weeks ago but at least he has 2 weeks to recover. He’s not in good form but when Emerson came on he looked like a fan from the crowd.
Got to sell Emerson this summer. Get Porro some proper cover.
What happened was that Harvey Barnes kept running at Porro, drifting past him into the box as if he wasn't there, which prompted Porro to start chasing Barnes into the Newcastle half and attempting to kick him into submission.
When that failed Porro got 'injured'.
It didn't look too bad. I would expect him back for Burnley and Sheffield United.
Pep was right.
Flat track bully.
Well, our fullbacks have zero cover in front of them and haven’t all season. It’s why I knew we’d struggle today. They were on to a hiding to nothing. Every game there is oceans of space in front of them, Porro in particular, for teams to attack. The only thing that surprises me, is that teams don’t do it more. It’s guaranteed chances.
Controversial opinion
Many fans don't realise this, but I think Pedro Porro is our biggest weakness in the starting XI.
He is unreliable, impulsive, and easily distracted - shame on all the talents he was gifted with.
Definitely need to bring in someone better on the right side during the summer.

It’s controversial for a reason.
Doesn't mean it's not true
Just look at our games vs Man Utd in Jan or vs New Castle recently, and see how poor he is.

I can't agree with that at all. I think he's quite pivotal in how we want to play, to be honest. Would 100% stick with him but look to bring in competition for that spot. We need strong competition for every place and we don't have that right now.
He’s got weaknesses but I honestly don’t think you can make a realistic argument that he’s our biggest one when we have forwards not forwarding or even giving him much defensive cover.
He fits the profile of an inverted full back well. I have concerns about various elements of his defensive work but I have concerns about almost our entire squad for various reasons.
I honestly think Vicario has been a bigger issue over the last few months, but still wouldn’t have him anywhere near one of our biggest problems.
