    Arsenal had more ball but created less with it! Possession means nothing. It's how effective you are with it

    EH is definitely getting real Tunes out of the two of them. Hall’s passing and tackling had a real Soother effect. And Tino’s pace down the wing was like a rocket Lockett.

    Yet again, we seemed to have lost the toss and kicked towards.the Gallowgate in the first half

    Cant believe that Bruno is so unlucky on the call

    I'm trying not too
    I'm letting others chose to say whether I was right or wrong and that they are all as corrupt as each other
    You do know that the refs / pgmol are funded by the football teams and it has been proven that certain football teams have more influence in what happens within the game

    Remember Fergie time ?
    Let's play on until they score
    Yesterday 5mins added time
    1 substitute and we went on until 7mins 24 seconds until the whistle blew once Newcastle gained possession

    I did wonder where all the extra time came from.

    And then there were the fouls. They fouled us all afternoon. No yellows. Then Tonali does one mistimed tackle and straight yellow.

    None of the talkings their players got.

    Defending resolutely and comfortably isn't necessarily a Rafa performance, just often a wise course of action to take when defending a lead and not leaving ourselves exposes. And, save the Rice chance, we did that very well.

    I did love our defence under Rafa of Schar, Fernandez, Lejeurne, with Clark and Laecelles as back up, best defence we've had in decades, and actually felt good for once to know we could defend leads and see games out. Our defence isn't as good as the Rafa days atm with Botman out, but it's still good to see us defending leads sometimes and shutting teams out.

    Just wait until we get a fully fit Botman back.

    Add a replacement for Schar, Burn and Pope long term. We'll have a ridiculous defence. Tino and Hall will be future England full backs.

    That cross from Gordon was just sexy as ****.

    And Isak was back to his best yesterday. He glided over the pitch.

    Gordon is far better on the right.

    Isak is fit again as is Willock. Stay fit and the PL is ****ed.

    That’s the key. And we have the ability to rotate players now aswell which should keep players fit also.
