Newcastle United FA Cup q/f (H) | Man of the Match

[markblue]

Kovacic or Akanji

 

[BringBackSwales]

Kova for me, just ahead of Akanji

Exactly this

 

[alexmcity]

Akanji.

 

[jimharri]

Kova for me. It just looked right, him and Rodri in the same XI. Granted, against a piss poor Geordies side.

 

[Zabaleta5]

Went for Rodri

 

[southamptonblue]

Kovocic....if only he had started last week!

 

[Crooked_rain]

Went for Rodri

I do think Kova was man of the match today but I do think Rodri sometimes gets overlooked because his standard so consistently high that we take it for granted now

He was excellent in his own right today

 

[RayCTID]

Went for Doku as it was a more confident performance in the main. Kovacic and Akjani were decent calls.

 

[OntarioBlue]

As I said at halftime Doku was excellent but over the full game I think it has to be Kovacic. Exceptional performance. He looks great alongside Rodri.

 

[Sky Blue]

Kovacic was incredible. Akanji superb too.
