Newcastle (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Good performance against a decent side who came and had a proper go… although they were still wasting their own time at 1-0 down in the first half which was odd behaviour (it was like they forgot they were losing).

So it was funny when we waited time at the end.

But we bossed it when it mattered and took our chances.
 
3 nailed on bookings all ignored.
I'm all for letting a game flow but when a deliberate foul is made to prevent a goal scoring opportunity (Gundog) and from stopping a break away through good play (Grealish) then it's just wrong.

Newcastle used the shithouse tactics of "just sit down periodically to stop the game" and it worked. Yet when a full speed clash which appeared to be a head injury at first happened he let play go on, then booked Ake!

Some great performances but apart from the obvious that have been mentioned I liked Gundog, and also those goal saving interceptions by Walker!
Dias (what a tackle) and Walker absolutely love that shit and they celebrate stuff like that as if it's a goal, brilliant.

Great win, pity the Arseoles were in a "play to you score situation" but fuck all we can do about that
 
The shithousery was magnificent and how much did Haaland enjoy it,great to see lads.

As for today, how fucking good was Rodri, I love players that make the game look simple and he does, he has this knack of being in the right place, he uses the ball simply, he rarely loses a tackle and is always available to pass too and when he receives the pass he knows where it is going before he receives it,

Pep worked with the master of that Position, Busquets, one of the best players I have ever seen, Rodri has all his Busquets qualities and more. What a player he is, there is nobody better in the world at what he does, he is that good.
 
i have no doubt kev can put in a world class performance but we can't rely on him this season, he's awesome when he's on it but so far this season hes been well under par and we can't afford passengers, i know he can score a goal out of nothing like at bristol but we can't rely on that now the seasons at the shit or bust stage, having said that who do we replace him with, wev'e had so many irreplaceble players it's catching up with us now, YAYA, AGUERO, SPANISH DAVE, KOMPANY, FERNANDINHO,
Mate, I seriously doubt KDB will ever perform consistently at the highest level game after game again. Unfortunately, I believe that what we're seeing this season will be the new norm for KDB.

As you've correctly pointed out we've been here before with Yaya, Silva, Aguero, Kompany & Fernandinho. We've never managed to replace like for like. We've replaced with different types of players who have their own top class skill set, so have evolved as a team accordingly.

I'd love to clone all the aforementioned players, but alas it's not a scientific option open to us right now. There'll only ever be one KDB, but there was only one David Silva & we still managed to successfully evolve & move on without him.

As painful as it will be, we're facing similar scenarios now with KDB, Gundog, Mahrez & Walker. )(

I too thought Rodri was brilliant today, he was my MOTM. Yet he’s only got 4% of the votes in the MOTM thread. I thought he was the boss of the game today.
