Maybe but maybe not. Gordon stays on, we were still 1-0 up. That 2nd goal not sure has anything to do with 10 men.

10 men and 2 down, almost a no lose situation and they just threw everything at it and had nothing to lose. Do always say 2-0 is dangerous scoreline, same when playing 10 men.

If we killed it for another 10/15 mins or get a 3rs was game over. But 2-0 to 2-1 suddenly it only needs a set piece as shown.

 

The shock on Gordon's face when the red card came out

If Gordon hadn't gone when he did he'd have gone a few minutes later - he was too fired up to stay in control.

 

I think its a bit harsh on kerkez. Yes he was weakness piss for guimaraes goal.

But he's there fighting his ground and being asked to stamd in a 3 when he's a natural running and attacking fullback back. We are inhibiting him to allow the right to go forward.

He didn't shrink one thing today butane a howler as he wasn't sure and did the worst thing in the end

 

Easy 3 points no drama we move on.

 

Should have had a yellow in first 5 mins anyway.. that was his 2.5 yellow moment and when you see the impact he's done more than enough

 

that was me

wtf was he doing up there at that stage

 

He was playing in the middle by that point, Bradley was at RB

 

Chiesa was involved in the build up to third and to be fair it was a really well worked goal
Probably our best move of the match if being honest

 

We will have to defend better against Arsenal. Still practice makes perfect. More corners routines and long ball stuff.

 

Konate is abit suss of late. He's likely to get injured again soon and probably would be an enforced introduction for leoni...which wouldn't be a bad thing.

Haven't quite played as a team first two games but still got results...in for an interesting season.

 

We did actually deal with set pieces really well first half, so really frustrating to throw all that away

 

Beautifully crafted goal

 

His name is Rio and he dances in the box

oh Rio Rio the toon were out of luck

that lad is going to have the best song ever

 

Kerkez seems to have all the attributes to be a great LB bar a functioning brain.
Remeniscent of Moreno.

 

he’ll be fine when the team is set up right. He’s great going forward, we knew what we were buying, now use him properly

 

We managed to come through this match playing like defence was something you see at the end of a garden...whilst avoiding injuries and having a 16yr old scoring on their debut.

As for Newcastle...they appear to have some bad luck with injuries...

 

If we defend like this on Sunday, Arsenal is going to punish us. Certainly we need to sign another CB
