Rudiger scuffed that as well, nearly hit the post.

Oh well. Madrid did a Moyes masterclass.

I didn’t see it.

I think Coufal needed an ice bath after having to face him at the LS ealier on in the season though. Tore him and us a new one it’s fair to say.

Doku has been brilliant since he came on, he’s more of a threat on that left flank than Grealish imo.

PM sent

9 yellow cards, 3 reds.

He’s probably got a poster of Mike Dean on his bedroom wall.

Totally ruined the game with the sending off. Very harsh.

Is this the same ref we had against Sheff Utd?

On a quick glance, Man Utd, Newcastle and Brighton all have to play each other. Man Utd’s last 3 games are Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle. Chelsea have a game in hand and are finishing strongly whilst we have Liverpool and City to play. They will leapfrog us and perhaps go higher. I’ve got us down for...

Yes for all the hype about Branthwaite he’s looked worse than our CBs here.

His stats at Man City were really mediocre - I certainly wasn't sold on him because of that. Didn’t he score in a couple of big games then they sold him? Might have been Charity Shield or FA Cup final. Makes you think where Paqueta will fit in that squad if they couldn’t gibe Palmer regular game ti...

Hat trick in 28 mins.

What a player Palmer is, totally humiliated Brathwaite for his first.

Still hard to fathom why City sold him. FFP must be the only reasonable explanation.

Why not give Oggy a run out, he is more capable than Aguerd I’m not against the idea, don’t get me wrong Ogbonna has been a fantastic servant to the club. And when called upon he has stepped up (bar Topola). I actually think it was the pairing change that led to Mavro making that mistake yesterday....

Tbf you could say the same about any of our centre backs.

None of them are good enough.

Good news!

This lad is going to be some player.

Looking at MOTD highlights I don't think any real blame on Mav or Paqueta is warranted for the goals. Mav was stretching to stop the cross getting into a possible dangerous situation where a Fulham player could be running onto. Mavropanos basically brought the ball down and tee’d up Perreira for a ...

I feared the worst when I saw the team sheet. We don’t have a good enough bench to be able to rotate players. Only 2 changes but it looked like 11 players who’d never played together. God knows what positions they were playing, I think some players didn’t know themselves. I saw Antonio switch to LW ...

Ings and Aguerd? Not sure this is the game to be rotating in if we’re pushing for another European spot.

How in god’s name is that a penalty?

“Right way” at Newcastle though? Unless you have the resources of a Man City or Real Madrid to begin to think that there is one “right way” to play irrespective of who the opposition is or where the game is being played is naive at best, more like plain stupid. I suspect that Newcastle have had few...
