Was funny when Atsu had the ball in space on the left and held it up for like 5 seconds for Gamez to come up on the overlap!

I like it when he found himself too far forward and they broke. He did that thing slow lads did when you were at school, head down run full belt but look like you're in treacle.

He did a good job all joking aside though. Very professional everywhere. Clark and Lascelles outstanding- Lascelles obv MOTM for goal and clearance but both never put a foot wrong.

Up to 10th now. Actually thought Merino had a great game. Awful dive but holds ball well in midfield and has a bit of guile.

He did dive but it wasn't as clear cut as it looked on slow mo. Olsson did grab his arm to knock his momentum so he prob thought he had reason to go down
 
The last two games have given me optimism that we can comfortably stay up this year not because of the wins but because the opposition each time was very ordinary.

We are severely lacking in depth but our strongest XI is still quite good when they show up.

I think last season showed that outside of the top 6or7 there's not much difference in the rest of the teams - keep the 1st 11 fit and I think we'll be fine and hopefully add a few more bodies in Jan
 
Clement was very frank in his interview. Listen to the start of his interview and that of Bilic. They pretty much said Newcastle were better in every department.

Typical Newcastle away performance today.

Very good team display.

Reason to be happy!
