He was treated absolutely appallingly by Ashley,Pardew and co. Then the scum used his return as something to rally behind in an attempt to escape it's own ineptitude. I was delighted he won his case. In the most trying of times he always gave his all. Deserves a long, happy and healthy life.

If someone's offering close to 100 million we should snatch their hand off.

He's been great player for us but it's past time for him to go .

Absolute rubbish . We were playing our plan b to start with with 5 at the back.

Tough game without several key players . Shows up the complete lack of depth in certain areas. Didn't get the breaks early despite making some good chances and fair play the Arsenal keeper was superb. The post half time lull seemed to happen again and we didn't adjust to Arsenal's adjustment. Need one last big performance from the lads next week and we'll get there. The likes of Gordon needs to stop acting like a big player and start playing like one though. Based on today I'd be tempted to drop him.

Pure guesswork but I think that Eddie wants players who are not necessarily predictable but he is certain of the job they can do from a tactical perspective and he's very big on the group dynamic. If you look at his decision to let Asm go, and the way he slowly integrates players (Gordon when first here and Tonali this season) into the side I just think he doesn't trust Osula as of yet. Also from what we've seen from Osula away from the pitch he seems a little immature and a touch arrogant.

Miley and Osula looking bright. Now if we're not going to win this can someone please do a Joelinton special and absolutely flatten Havertz

We're picking it up now . Pushing on . Cmon lads

Pope has to do one of those a game. It's contractual

To be fair to Eddie what options does he have ? The squad has to be improved this summer. It's why we need both Gordon and Barnes. They don't necessarily both have to start every game.

Big Joe been such a huge miss the day

Wilson's been a fantastic player for us but I just don't see what he's bringing to the side. I can concede that the experience when we're leading and he's seeing out 10-15 minutes is useful but surely Osula even with movement alone offers more

Eddies very loyal to his group. Says a lot about Jamaal as a character that both Benitez and Howe value his contribution.

Gravy boat on the top .

If that were true why wasn't Jackson immediately red carded ? It was VAR that recommended the ref review it for the red .

Saving it for the Arsenal game.

Be great to clinch it against Arsenal and make Arteta weep

Nice cameo from Miley. Played some nice balls and was really impressed with his physicality against the Chelsea players. Bruno's best game in a while

Miley just bodied Caceido . Big Joe would have been proud of that.

Bruno you beautiful bastard

First touch from Barnes was as hard as his shot

Either Murphy or Barnes off for Krafth. Not happy with Murphy at right back in a 4 Cucarella is getting or much space and ball that side

Maresca's clearly in the ref's ear at half time hardly been given a decision since

We've been great but need a little more composure and to get this second goal

He's too vital to take risks with his long term health, I've said it many time before I don't really see another player in European football that brings what he does to the side and he and us have taken too many risks with his knee injury as it is. I'd rather we got there without him and have him fit and firing for next season.
