    Nevermind who the opposition, scoring in the premier league is impressive. I can't remember the last time we scored six.

    So for the 2nd time this season, well done Steve McClaren. Still getting it right 3/11(?) times isn't enough.

    Fairytale ending but need to be better defensively, stood off far too much, build on this and beat the smelly neighbours next week.

    Well done <applause>

    Gini got the goals, but for me Sissokho was immense, MOTM imho.

    Cheers Skylarker.

    Both were awesome today. Great work-rate all round today. Far better effort than we've seen so far this season. A real will to win.

    Sissokho was outstanding today like but Gini deservedly MOTM for me. When was the last time one of our players scored 4?

    Edit - Shearer 16 years ago!

    We needed that. I can't remember the last time we properly won a game. The points were critical today but the added confidence from that could be massive for us. Far from ideal defensively for long periods but at least we look to have something going on going forward.

    At half time I would have agreed. As it was we can be happy with that.

    True, scoring 4 goals will always get you MOTM. But for me Sissokho controlled the whole game, absolute colossal performance. Like Yaya of old at his best.

    But can't argue with a player getting 4 goals tbf <ok>

    Our defence is sub optimal. But that's one decent monkey off our back.
    Gini and Sissoko needed that.

    We looked good in certain areas but absolutely dreadful in others.

    I think we just need a win or two as its looks a confidence issue

    I think McClaren is trying to put Sissoko up for sale on Sky Sports. Mind you it could be smart from him i.e. play like that every week, get us out of this hole and you if you want to go when the chance comes then fine.
