Jorginho mate, you've done that twice already. Never going to work again.

Either going to be a hero, or drop a clanger. No inbetween.

Outstanding keeping. Lingard out now, hilarious.

Genuinely thought we were seeing De Jong on HBA all over again for a bit. Would've been peak NUFC.

Aye, but negates the need for a deep sitting playmaker.

Beaming watching that MotD compilation. Got ourselves a gem here.

Hadn't appreciated how well we played it out the back for Almiron's chance. Credit to Hayden and Lascelles for starting the move off.

Mental that he's 25, been here almost 5 years and coming up to 200 appearances. Still think of him as a bairn.

Enjoyable a performance as any in recent memory. Beaming as Rafa laid the tap on the German regen's cheek.

Bit premature to say, but I have to agree.

Today feels like a culmination of Rafa's rebuild over the past 3 year, all on a shoestring budget. Every player looks perfect for this system, absolute world apart from the scatter gun approach to transfers and square pegs in round holes of what came before.

Fucking hell - 6-0 if the goals are half a foot wider.

Some hit.

Toying with them now.

Commentators really mentioning a language barrier when our entire coaching setup and attack is Spanish speaking?

Absolutely. Get a LWB and a partner for Longstaff this summer and we suddenly have a very good starting 11. Mind, if Kenedy could sort himself out that's 1 of 2 covered.

One of the most underrated players in the league. We look so much more assured with him in the team. For the pelters Rafa got for his signings at Liverpool, he's worked absolute miracles getting him and Dubravka for about £10m.

thought someone quality like almiron would naturally improve perez...teams didn't have to bother when atsu had the ball, you can already see how much more space he's getting Definitely, exact same thing happened in the run-in last year when Kenedy was on form.

Was about the advocate chucking Kenedy and the new LB on to try and get them some form, appears the latter has already been Lazaar'd into oblivion however.

Fuck me, this front 3 is lush. Especially if Perez is on form. Going to be heartbreaking when we won't match someone else's bid for Rondon in the summer.

No idea why he's not working with him. He's had Atsu in front of him for the past few months, probably fairly jarring having an option to work with.

Watching that chip hit the post is heartbreaking.
