Unfortunately we’ll have dips in our performances but what matters is we got through it and saw out the win. Some comments here are over the top.

Sterling MOTM closely followed by Otamendi.
Sterling was top class today, took his goal well and some of his dribbling was unreal. Confused him for Neymar a couple of times :)

Otamendi’s clearance was as good as a goal. Flawless in defense once again and looks a threat at set pieces.

Can’t understand the Jesus criticism, his first touch and link up play was great, should of had an assist for De Bruyne. He needs to learn to stay onside more often though.

Aguero played well. Was unlucky not to score. Didn’t have the easiest of chances tonight. Could of done better but it’s not like he was missing sitters.

Walker could of cost us a goal but other that one incident wasn’t as bad as many say here. Not his best game but he has had worse for us in the CL.

Shame Kompany got injured. Can’t understand how he often gets injured in the first minutes, quite strange. Hopefully we can manage to buy a CB in January. I know he wants to go to the WC but with his fitness, I’m not sure he is even worth a place to be brutally honest.

Ederson’s distribution was something else. Loved his diving gesture towards Gayle after his booking.

Well said Easy : Some fans on here don't see the big picture. Aguero wasn't poor. Jesus worked hard for the team. Otto was immense

Great win. Completely controlled the game until getting a little tired-which is understandable at this time of year. Raheem and Ota outstanding. 9 more wins and it’s done.

Pep: "It is difficult to play when the other team doesn't want to play. We created enough chances to win, 2, 3 or 4-0."

Whats with that goal shot from kick off by Newcastle?

Ever seen that before?

I think Benitez did us some damage. Its called contempt.

You can’t have a good game when your opponents wouldn’t fight.

They wanted to atleast have a shot on target in the first half!

Seems Augero's goal should have stood.

He is right! We should really have scored more than one in the first half. Gayle should have scored at the end really so we got away with it but lacked our usual clinical side today. Kun played well I thought but should have had one at least.

We're 15 clear blue.

Not till the game ended! Talking about during the game.

Saves me a job repeating what they were saying.
