I have to say that was a tough watch... I don't think Newcastle were looking great 11 vs 11, but after ****housery and the red it's a good win.
Peice of piss. Totally outclassed them, never in doubt. We played exactly how well we had to in order to get the result and even chose to rest one of our best defenders for most of the game as it was clear they were never going to score.
Minteh is like myself and a few others said going to be a top player. Meanwhile Newcastle are still piss farting around with a large number of plodders dotted all over the park. Hopefully to God they'll sign some talent because this side has hardly any. Guehi isn't going to be enough
Pope 7 Tino 6 Schar 0 Krafth 7 Burn 7 Hall 6 - Great clearance but very vulnerable. Give him 6 for his clearance. Kelly - n.a. Longstaff 6 Bruno 8 Joelinton 9 Isak 6 good assist but not much else Gordon 3 flat Barnes 5
Just reading that line up - this is the team Eddie Howe claims is almost impossible to strengthen. That we’ve had all this influx of money and Krafth is the best option after Schars stupidity is incredible. That Schar hasn’t actively been replaced for years is also stupid.
That's not going to change... they're literally building the club around a core of plodders. Btw did anyone notice Gordon wasn't himself? I think he wants to go somewhere in the North West.
