Newcastle Utd PL (A) | Man of the Match

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Argue with yourself Jimmy I say what I see and in my eyes rodri was a ten.great team performance but rodders clear.

Who's having a f*cking argument ? It's all about opinions , i gave it to Foden he was an eleven , looking at the match day thread at half time and it looked like all the players were shite even Rodri got slagged off, quite unbelievable , whenthat was our best team performance of the season

 

[Double R]

KDB is the obvious choice. Won us the game. But overall it has to be Rodri, magnificent today.

 

[bondsman]

Rodders just from KDB. Two best midfielders in the world imho.

Apologies agreed can't wait for the rest of the games we looked scarily good.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Kevin of Bruyne.

Game winner.

 

[northstandgiveusasong]

Kevin of Bruyne.

Game winner.

Not Oscar Bobb? I thought he won the game for us. ;) I agree about Kevin, Rodri and Phil were magnificent too. It was easily the best overall team performance of the season.

 

[bluealf]

The easy choice would be DeBruyne, goal and assist that won the match. What a legend.

Bobb... What composure on that finish from the youngster.

But Kovacic gets my shout.
His sheer consistency.
His influence both offensive and defensive that mean you can never forget he is on the pitch.

There is more people who liked your post than voted for him, which is kinda odd tbh lol

 

[mosssideblue]

Rodders again

 

[Franny 1234]

Rodri is simply the best.
I put King kev in my dreamteam so he's getting my vote. CTID

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

It's probably invidious to vote for a guy who was only on for twenty minutes. But who did not see that he completely changed the nature of the game? Suddenly there was dynamism, directness. Vision.
Not that we were that bad for the match, overall. Same old, same old, two good breakaway goals that were a combination of the opposition being ruthless, and us backing off them. Otherwise we dominated, by some margin, both before and after.
The KDB factor simply cannot be overstated, though.

 

[Franny 1234]

Sometimes I feel like these threads would be more interesting if we took KDB and Rodri out of the running for every game “MOTM excluding Rodri and KDB.”

Foden as won several lately (deserving)

 

[Cassandra]

De Bruyne but with a nod to Silva for bringing back memories of Denis Law.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

De Bruyne was absolutely majestic in the short time he was on the pitch, and Rodri was excellent too. Special mention for Kovacic who I thought had another very good game in midfield.

He is back to the form that he was showing in the early part of the season.

His role in the team is also allowing Rodri to be even more influential and expressive in the final third. I think Rodders is on a mission to add the goals we got from Gundo.

 

[Middedon]

Foden as won several lately (deserving)

I almost included him on my “excluded” list, but I felt like he deserved at least one more year of contention since he’s still a youngun.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Rodri was world class but Kevin even higher than that.

 

[Gabriel]

Rodri. Consistently man of the match. Others will weigh in with an improved second half or a vital 30 minutes, but week in week out Rodri is arguably the only player that is consistently producing the goods over 90 minutes.

 

[growl]

I wouldn't normally consider a player who was on the pitch for only 20 minutes. But today I'm jumping on the KDB bandwagon.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

The King has returned

Whooooo haaaaa

 

[citymad]

A masterclass in bossing a midfield. Rodri was incredible as was Kev but Rodri did it the whole game. Three quite amazing goals but I think Silvas was magical, the flick was so clean and pure.

 

[cleavers]

Rodri over 90 minutes.

That's what MoTM is :)
