Tenth and below the rags. That sort of good team?

This is nonsense, of course they're a good team. They are literally ranked the 13th best team in Europe right now. They are the current league cup holders, in the 5th round of the FA Cup and the last 16 of the Champions League.

Their league position says absolutely nothing about how hard they can be to beat on any given day - it only tells you how consistent they've been over the course of a season. We literally won the league and then 3-4 months later were down in 10th - does that mean we were suddenly not a good team?
 
Idk about you fellas but to me this win feels like a loss because of how we played, ESPECIALLY in the 2nd half. It frustrated me like nothing else this season. We had 1 week of rest and played at home (+should've been massively motivated because of Assna dropping points) while Newcastle had only 3 days and had to travel to f-ing Azerbaijan right before that and played away. Yet we were the ones who played like we haven't had a single day of rest! Midfield constantly overloaded, attack missing sitters left, right and centre while the fullbacks were leaking every time Newcastle was attacking. This was a horrendous display but I feel like barely anyone will talk about it because we somehow won in the end. Our physios definitely need sacking and Pep needs to play Cherki since minute 1, like how on earth are you keeping a player of his caliber on the bench despite him being the only one that brings any sort of creativity (and presence) in the midfield??
 
Didnt make it tonight followed on ere apart from usual fanny wipes sounded like the rite performance go on blues

Knew it would be a tough game I called it 2-1 pre match. No money on it though. 2nd half’s making it look like we’re still short of something. It’s a worrying pattern. Great result

I think it was less ‘second halfy’ than some of our other second halves this season. I see green shoots of progress, we created plenty

Fair fucks to Newcastle they played very well and made it a really hard game tonight. Another 3 points on the board is all that matters but I hope we are a bit braver on the ball from now on. Four or Five consecutive backward passes followed by a long ball towards the halfway line and giving up possession time and again surely isn't the plan. A huge win nonetheless.

No one is going to talk about it being a horrendous display because it wasn't one!
