This could be one of the matches of the season, though now i've said that it'll be 0-0.


Awful game ffs.

It was much improved, although Chelsea were really bad.

Seemed to have a lot more purpose and strategy when we play a much better team. Perez had his first good game in ages, Mitrovic was excellent and Mbabu is quite possibly the worlds greatest player.


Mad how he couldnt get a game for Rangers yet back pockets pedro and hazard with relative ease.

If Mitrovic stops dishing RKO's out he could be fantastic too.

Anita a million times the player colback is, btw.

I blame McClaren for throwing the lead away, Mitrovic should have been taken off 15 mins earlier as was fucked. Made no sense to carry on with two up front especially when Chelsea scored their first. Being on another midfielder and try to keep hold of the ball whilst also offering some protection for the defence.

Perez isn't really a striker though, he drops into midfield and keeps the ball too.

Was one absolute screamer and a set piece goal that undone us - just unlucky rather than McClarens fault i think.

Really? I've got nothing against Anita, but, really?

Newcastle were only playing with 1 up front. Mitrovic was buying cheap free kicks and getting us further up the field. And it's hard to bring on another midfielder when you don't have one on the bench.

Callum Wilson ruled out for six months with an ACL rupture.

Seeing as Gradel and Mings are out long-term with similar damage, that is not good for Bournemouth.

I like my players to play with freedom and expression. m8. But if you prefer players who track back, good for you , I like entertainment.


But nah seriously, I don't know, I like Anita but he often seems a bit limited? He's possibly been our player of the season mind.

Jamie Redknapp said it I think!

It's probably Wenger who has a story about when he tried to sign him.

Have you actually seen him play much?

Just wondering because based on what he's shown so far I don't think thats actually a very outrageous statement. It's obviously early and its hard to know if its just a patch of good form or if this is his level, but he's been incredibly good, and even in games where he hasn't scored he's caused every team we've played problems with his directness, pace, power and dribbling ability.

I can't think of many players I've seen who were already as developed as Martial is at 19. He's far further ahead in his development than Ronaldo or Rooney were at that age, for example, and probably further ahead than Messi was too. That's obviously not to say that he will be as good as any of them, players develop at different speeds, it just so happens that Martial appears to have developed a lot earlier than you might expect its not so much a reflection of his potential as the fact that he appears to be ready now.

What the fuck happened in Manchester? Had the rugby on, checked on the football scores and saw City - Newcastle at 1-1. Checked again 20 minutes later and its 6-1!

I see Aguero got 5 in 20 minutes. Bloody amateur, good players do it in 9.

Erm, probably Newcastle's best performance of the season. Aguero and Silva were fairly incredible.


Wilshere better than Martial

The problems small sample size, but Martial's been far more impressive than either of those so far. Sterling in particular has gaping flaws in his game. Whether he stays at that level the whole season is another question.
