 Yeah the Mag is a hideous site (there's quite a few unfortunately) what CFB and Benny said reminded me of that article and the whole clickbait/mock rage thing.
Their article last week titled "I can see how this Miguel Almiron signing is going to play out – Newcastle United haven’t bought Lionel Messi" was particularly galling, combining all of the worst parts of NUFC blogging.

Surely in the age of forums The Mag is a waste of time? Most of the articles are just s*** blogs saying nothing new whatsoever.

I haven’t heard anyone saying he shouldn’t be dropped, not even on the home of the twats (Twitter).
I know it's the mag <puke> but pretty much sums it up

They've written so many articles lately that have pissed me off. Just a factory of hot takes. <fist>

I'd take him out at dawn, offer him a cigarette and a blindfold, tie his arms to the goal post and then let Kenedy take a shot at him.

He'll live but he'll know he let the lads down.

To be fair, in this case this happened. Not quite a call for a dropping, but worth a rebuttal:

 Not the first time Dubravka has cost us a game this season. Doubt he'll be scrapped like the others were though.

There are people saying that? Good grief. The number of matches he's kept the team in, and as you said, he made an immediate, obvious improvement to the confidence and organization the backline play with.

 Having watched the highlights, anyone saying Dubravka needs dropped is a moron, he inspires so much more confidence when dealing with crosses and corners that Darlow ever would.
for who exactly? <erm>

Almiron might be as physically capable as Perez, just saying.

Perez get knocked off the ball if someone looks at him, Almiron isn't much stronger in the few games I saw him in.

Deffo saved more points than he's lost.

 As always with Perez, he yet again gets in the right place but his finishing is f***ing awful. So frustrating. Yet he’ll scuff a goal in against Huddersfield then stick his fingers in his ears like he’s proven a point.
yet he's our best attacking mid, and somehow gets the most grief
Well he's been our only (central) attacking mid for years, so I'm not sure if that's big praise. The longer a player is around, the more opportunity to collect fan baggage, and I think the fact he's been unchallenged in his position for so long is what frustrates me. He's fine to have in the squad, but has not been good enough to go unchallenged for his position. So I'm glad that's finally been addressed.

If he doesn't though <mob>
In true Newcastle supporter fashion if he doesn’t score a hattrick in his first game we shall write him off as being a waste of money and the worst footballer of all time <laugh>
Don't forget this either <wave>

 I thought Perez had a decent game against spurs, saw glimpses of his quality on a few occasions, makes me think Almiron coming in is going to elevate his game, hes definitely the type of player who needs competition for his place to get the best out of him, imo.
I think and hope they'll both be on the pitch at the same time, and that theyll link up well
In the formation we are playing lately you'd think he'd take the Atsu role. Although with Barreca coming in at LWB/LB it frees up Ritchie to move further up. Formation may change again, or Atsu and Perez could make way with Almiron and Ritchie in those floating roles?

Agree about the competition, it can only be a good thing. I thought he did okay against Spurs until it came to the shot/final ball that could make the difference.

Hopefully Almiron can show him what he should be doing when he gets into decent positions.
