Yeah, would like to see teammates setting each other up but everyone wants to show off their latest celebration it seems.Shaw, Herrera and Lindelof were outstanding for me, especially defensively.Well done! Great 3 points
Everyone wants him to stay!Why does the second goal state it was scored by De Gea?
Feck off Newcastle, you lost your cup final small timersI thought I'd never say this but in the next game I'd rather see Young or Darmian ahead of Valencia.
He's done completely as a player at this club imo.Big,big,big,bing,bong Win.
Yeah sort of had people blocking it as well. Probably wouldn’t have found Lukaku. Arguably made the right decision for me.Difficult win but our squad showing its strength and players returning from injury. Give the kids a run against Reading and let's get ready for the massive game at Spurs.
Come of it please.Very pleased Ole got his clean sheet. Could've been 3 or 4 nil in the end.
Personally I like the players are all hungry for goals.Busby and Ole win their first 4 league games, not badTweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateFinally a good result in Geordie land.
I guess he was pissed off, Pogba should have passed if he knew he did not have the angle.Lindelof MOTM by some distance.
He;s a striker.Any opportunity he gets he's going to take it.
Best game to date, was flawless. Even won a majority of the headers against Rondon!
That's about right if you ask me.Yet they’ve shown the Pogba one on shelvey 6 times here, vice versa 2 times
It's probably a 1:6 ratio of aggressive intent between the two challenges
Got to say, that was a poor refereeing display!Deserved victory, but the worst of our 4 performances
A bit of fatigue was probably at play, but I think the main issue today was the team selection that was utterly disjointed and made Newcastle's job far easier.
Glad OGS finally sorted it, but I mark that down as his first obvious mistake and hope he learns from it. Serious though now has to be given to the future as both a Captain and member of the 1st team. Sadly he has fallen off a cliff in terms of ability. I still think he has been a good signing and a great servent to the club though
I liked his through ball after winning the ball up highHard fought game. They didn't have gold opportunities. I think we were pretty careless with our final balls having carved them open a few times especially in the first half. Lindelof, Matic, Rashford and Herrera were the stand out performers. I just dont think Lukaku fits our style of play and yet again his touches were awful when he came. Did well with reacting to that rebound and impressed with his sharpness but he needs to improve technically. Otherwise, onwards and upwards.That league table is a lot more inspiring for the rest of the year.
Not the best performance for the first hour, not clinical going forward and shaky defence.
They showed Pogba’s revenge 3 times more. Yeah, I mean, I thought Bailly’s red was Ok at first glance last game, but I counted three worse from Newcastle (Lascelles twice and Shelvey).
True, and he is a good impact player from the bench.
His touch and control are still absolutely awful
I just think it's ridiculous to have someone with his price tag coming from the bench. He should get a chance as a striker in this new system at least. He had already scored two goals of the bench in the last two games.
Hah, I thought so, but wasn’t sure
Thought we got our wires crossed I’m juggling a lot of threads now (hey, redcafe is fun again!).
Technical glitchWHATTTT?
my stream was behind everyone else and I was wondering had he scored a freak goalTechnical glitch
Think Lukaku will improve. Ole said he should be playing with his back to goal, but facing or turning towards goal. I tend to agree.
The gloom and doom merchants tried their hardest today to shit on Ole and some of the players but they'll have to wait.Hah, I thought so, but wasn’t sure Thought we got our wires crossed I’m juggling a lot of threads now (hey, redcafe is fun again!).
Some on here seem to think SAF won all his games 10:0 in the first 20 minutes picking the same side for every game in all competitions.Transfer fee is no longer relevant as wasnt Ole's call.
Who are you going to drop Martial or Rashford? We need 4 strikers and i am sure he will get plenty of game time as the 3rd choice.
I remember when we won 1-0, around 10-11 games on the trot.The gloom and doom merchants tried their hardest today to shit on Ole and some of the players but they'll have to wait.

I think Dalot needs much more time than expected to rely on, we need a ready R.B IMO. And yes hopefully we can get someone like Koulibaly as a C.B, this area is so weak.A gutsy all round performance, not our finest but we dug in and battled. And we can ask no more than that, the only downside is that the giant we know and love has seen better days. Valencia, I'm afraid your numbers up. Thanks for the service, you've been great over the years.- Status
