Wasn't great for either of the goals but had got back to Gordon by the time he took the shot (but was basically a training cone at that point).

Can we give credit the the striker here ? Brilliant goal. That’s hard to defend against.

Bobb cat, the unbelievable Bobb cat,
He's so incredible,
Brings us goals and plenty of flare,
All his friends would love his great hair,

Bobb cat,
The indisputable weeavver of the team,
He's the biz, he's a wiz, he's won a championship;
He's the most tip top Bobb cat

I’ll get me coat!

I’m sure some of you will roll your eyes at this but the mother in me thought there were some really nice moments today among the team. Rodri kind of yelled at Ortega after some early chaos, and Dias went over and patted his back and gave him some encouragement. Gvardiol put his arms around Doku after a missed shot. I don’t think we can underestimate them picking eachother up and helping shaking the shit off in games like this…

thoughts on Walker ?

Mmmmmmmmm!!!
I glossed over his mistakes in that first half due to the euphoria of the win.
He's got 2 weeks to sort himself out now, but, it wouldn't surprise me if he's "rested" for a while - Pep can be very ruthless. Akanje or Lewis might appear next time out.
I'm happy to focus on a great 3 points despite 2 give away goals, imho.
We're in a great position with Stones, Haaland and Ederson to come back in - and KDB to sharpen up and build his match fitness.
All in all, happy days.

Jesus Christ. Twenty fucking SEVEN attempts.

Think Pep has said that he doesn't doubt the spirit in the team one bit. So don't expect any happy flower rants or sending a player to Munich!

Just back, great day, just a few observations.
1. Where the fuck did 8 minutes added time come from, even Newcastle fans we spoke to couldn’t understand it
2. Only 3 minutes in the second half, despite all their time wasting
3. Does anyone have a clip of the challenge on Doku before their goal. Even from up high it looked like a free kick to us
4. Rodri gets taken out just outside their box, no yellow, Silva 30 seconds later with a similar foul rightly gets a yellow. WTF.
5. The injury to Ederso, don’t get me started on the liner. Since when is a yard offside, 45 yards from goal, a tight decision as well as an immediate goal scoring opportunity. It isn’t so put your flag up
6. KDB, welcome back

Agree with all this. According to Drury on the US TV call the refs decided on plus 5 for the Ederson injury after he finally got to his feet. The other 3 I assume from his sub plus a miscellaneous minute or two.

You and the away blues deserve your own round of applause. Even at that cauldron 5,500 miles away and 800 feet in the air I could hear you. So could Bobb; he mentioned it in his post game comments. Well done!

27 shots; ludicrous. And 73% possession. But despite all that, we weren't great. Particularly in that first half. Once the daywalker came on, though, it seemed to flick a switch.

Going forward we looked excellent, just that final ball

2 lengthy stoppages for Ederson mainly, the first was 5 minutes.
