Match Day Thread Toon v Arse

If we're going to win we'll end up playing 6+ mins I'm guessing.

 

Rice spazzed

 

Pope booked
Kelly on Bruno off

 

I was close.

 

Well paint me surprised:

 

Great punch by Pope and then a great kick by Barnes

 

Pope has been class

 

Big week. Beating both Chelsea and Arsenal. Need to use this to push on now.

 

Easy win

 

2 huge wins this week.

On a train so couldn't watch and had to make do with the Beeb updates, but looks like we dealt with them pretty well.

 

Very very good performance.

The Chelsea result was the turning point.

Looks like our mojo is back.

 

Hall and Tino were immense.

Longstaff it has to be said was brilliant.

He was immense.

 

I know what I'm having for dinner later...

 

That was impressive.. happy to say longstaff and Burn proved me wrong.

Can't think of anything to moan about.

Willock was back today.

 

Longstaff might lend you his hat.

 

Hard to pick MOTM today. Full backs were immense, great team performance. Apart from Rice at the end, they hardly bothered us. Plenty of effort and fight, marvellous to see!

 

The two full backs were so good...

 

I can. We should have won by more. Nah. I’m joking. We do seem to play better against the top six.

So it’s clear we are good enough. Against mid table sides we do ok.

But when we control games we struggle. We run out of ideas.

Longstaff was the best player.

 

Willock or the two full backs for me

 

I missed it.
How did we shape up at first? And then did the firmarion change when Tonali came on for Willock, or was it a straight swap?
