CPL

If we are basing on this season, Watkins, of course, is a candidate for team of the season. I'd still rather have Isak in my team based on his attributes and having a higher ceiling.

So you're basing it just on stats? Some people might view Watkins as better which is a fair view but to say he is clearly better is a bit absurd especially from a fellow 'Newcastle fan'.

Really?!

Celebrated that like one of our goals!

That's like ours against PSG.

Saw the score and switched it back on! Holy shit I screamed quite loud when that shot nearly made it 3-3.

Has he? He's been injured for half of it. Probably more frustrating than anything.

I'll be honest, I didn't. We did seem to be worse when he got subbed on the 70th minute mark for Gayle although that was probably down to who was coming on the pitch as well.

Stones isn't 100% match fit would be the only reason I can think of. It does seem strange.

You just knew he wasn't going to score when he was through on goal. Could he do a Joelinton and play in CM instead?

I'd steer away personally. He comes across as a bit of a selfish player and not someone who would fit into our ethos. Take the Chelsea penalty incident last week.

I thought that was the case too so his fitness shouldn't be too bad when he makes his return.

Think it's fine. Our game against the scum was worse.

Just waiting for them all to burst into a massive laughter at the end. ??

What the hell?!

Surprised Haaland lasted this long. He has been very poor.

Wow awesome video! Option C for me!

What was the goal celebration between Isak and Gordon about?

Lovely couple of results here. Good that it was Crystal Palace also and not one of our direct rivals putting a dent in the scouse's title bid.

Jeez how is it still 1-0?

Casual push in the box by VVD. Probably get it if it was the other end.

Doesn't need much encourage tbf.

Winning penalties should count as an assist or be acknowledged in the statistic department at least.
