What a topsy-turvy game. It would have been very worrying if we hadn't won that because Newcastle are the worst side we have played this season. Just disappointing that a team that poor still scored two against us.
But credit to them, they kept going and thoroughly deserved the win topped off by a screamer from Jack.
Rodrigo looking back to his sharpest which is good news for us.

Called it ...
NOne ...We have to be ruthless tonight, Newcastle have just had a bad bout of covid, effected their training schedule and one day less off than we have... We play full tilt, keep possesion, play with conviction and confidence... the 3pts are ours no question.
And gifted Noocastle 2 goals so they dont feel too bad... will say no more at this point... :roflmao:

We are so weak on the left hand side we should never play Harrison and Alioski, they are just so hopeless... Oh wait a minute... both of them just scored goals.

I didn’t want to make a thing of it before the game, but I felt this might be a season-defining result, a defeat and we would have been sucked into the relegation tussle.

Great performance from the same 11 who were shocking on Friday, great to see Rodrigo and Raphinha up for it, great to see Paddy confounding the doubters again, great to see Pablo proving what he still has to offer.

In my opinion the current Spain 9 will benefit greatly from training and playing with Pablo, legend - he exudes quality with every touch.

I just can’t get that Chelsea game out og my mind. We looked so lost but Chelsea have looked quite ordinary after that.

Don't think anyone should be getting slagged off after that performance personally. Newcastle score one good goal to go one up then completely destroyed for the rest of the game..

10/10 for Amazon via laptop, faultless picture, loved the control, could even pause to take an emergency phone call..

Thankfully we got lucky with Cooper's challenge on Wilson in the box

Nice to have a bit of luck

Just the delay is the issue if following along on social media, not sure anything can be done about that

Picture quality fantastic!

What a fantastic result and performance. We made a pretty decent Newcastle side look clueless. It all could’ve been so different though Struijk has to come in to add a bit more presence defending set pieces. Harrison’s assist and goal were top class, hopefully that gives him some confidence, Bamford getting his 9th in 13 premiership games is something I never thought we’d see fair play to him

That was the 3rd game I've watched this week and for me it was the better picture of the 3, not great though

Very lucky, I don’t know how VAR left it go balances out some of the soft penalties against us
