Think it's time for YOU to throw in the towel
He and his team analysed the Chelsea match, possibly discussed with the senior players, looked at the Newcastle team and decided to defend deeper. Tactical masterclass.
Good day
Estupinian definitely better than Ferdi, even though Ferdi was ok today. Igor worries me a little with his tendency to carry the ball until he loses it, like Webster. Was great to see Fabulous Hürzeler unveiling plan B and taking 3 points though.Bizarre game but a win is a win. Encouraging that we can graft a result, Verbruggen was outstanding today.
Concerns would be passing accuracy which was way off again and general performance level, especially in the first half. A team that could finish would have punished us today. Saying that I thought we actually had more clear cut chances and could have got 3 or 4 if we'd been really clinical.
Kadioglu is still a concern, wouldn't be starting over Estupinan for me and couldn't convert a great opportunity to make the last 10 mins much more comfortable.
Love seeing us beat smug Eddie though
Hates the Albion. Fond of Farage, though.
Remember Hinshelwood being described last season as “potentially the new Gross”
Agree re Igor. I thought he had a better than normal game today but he's not going to be anything other than a backup plan in the PL. Really good to see van Hecke come on as we've missed him
This was my thought. For the people that feared Fab might be one note, he demonstrated that he has more tricks in his bag.
Weird eh
. Maybe because of who Newcastle had on the pitch, and it was more open?Think Pervis didn't start because he's not long back from South America. FH mentioned that in the pre-match conference. I thought Ferdi looked good and, yes, Bart was outstanding.Bizarre game but a win is a win. Encouraging that we can graft a result, Verbruggen was outstanding today.

Igor does some really good stuff, then the odd clanger. True for Baleba also.
5:50 ish? Stop watching on Sky Sports + 1My buttocks are now, at last, unclenched. I get so nervous about our games if I’m not there in person. At 5.50ish I checked on-line to see how were doing - 1-0 up 90+4, then it was 1-0 at 90+12. I thought please blow the f***ing whistle! Finally I got the all clear, the big 1-0 FT. Oh the relief. Well done boys!
