Newcastle United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Father Paul]

I tell u what I'm trying too get used too, is this feeling of being quite relaxed when we're one goal to the good going into the last 10minutes. We're such a great defensive unit now, and I still don't think we get enough credit for it. We have defenders who can actually defend, and we have guys who run themselves into the ground for each other. The desire and togetherness is incr3dible. Kev is a massive loss, and we may not score as many without him, but the signs are still looking good for us so far. We still look hungry.
Utmost respect to Pep and the team! Everyone in fact. Ctid

Our current defence is excellent. That is why we won the CL. Only 3 goals conceded in 7 knockout games. Previously we had to score three to stay in a tie. This gives us a better chance to win games like tonight when we're not scoring much.

Never in doubt

1 little critique.
Anyone else think we coulda brought Palmer on for Big Erl on the hour ? The Viking wasn't having his best day, maybe Alvarez would've got another moving to 9.

WE ARE FUCKING BRILLIANT AND THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Foden Kovacic Akanji Rodri all excellent.

Gvardiol will prob take a season to adapt.

Grealish needs to do more in an attacking sense.

Gvardiol is going to be the best Cb in the world. Has everything , with Pep and Dias there to help him improve his potential is limitless. It’s why I was so excited that we were linked to him and signed him

Plus we haven’t see that Kev type passing range that he has yet.

 

[sd33]

even pep knows that bench is dead

 

[Semper aggressus]

Great performance! Very happy with that, I was worried about this game but the boys were superb, especially Foden.

 

[Bill Walker]

What’s the illustrations on Pep’s tee shirt. I missed the beginning of his interview.

It said "United are shit"
