Kid Icarus

Think Donnarumma was given one after our second, but agree otherwise.

That interception that was also a backheel to someone was 🤌

Aside from the odd game Gordon hasn't been good enough for coming up to a season and a half. He's been given an extremely long rope imo and still has it.

He has a bit of a knack for playing well in tough times.

Was on the phone to a scouser in a call centre the other day and it was actually annoying how nice she was to me, about Newcastle, Geordies, and about Isak.

His all round game has improved. Can you even make the argument that Gordon should be starting ahead of him at this point?

Some are calling him Jacob Muphermes

Could and probably should have had two, but he battled away and once again wasn't protected by a ref who gave freekicks against anyone even looking at Doku.

His delivery is honestly veering towards Beckham-like consistency, it's mad. He's figured it all out.

My liege

Makes all the difference in the world having a defender the opposition know can ping a diagonal in behind either fullback.

MOTM if you discount Barnes' goals. Still can't quite yet believe that he's this amazing though and I don't for the life of me know why. He's been excellent.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and say hei, what a day of Premier League association football!

When did this looking at Doku is a freekick rule come in?

We really, really fucking needed that. It could have been any score, that match, so it's not necessarily that either side deserved whatever in this match, but I think we deserve that for the other matches where we missed out and didn't deserve to lose. Pope: 7.5 Livramento: 8 Thiaw: 9 Schär: 8 Hall: 8 Tonali: 8 Bruno: 8.5 Joelinton: 7.5 Murphy: 8.5 Woltemade: 7 Barnes: 9.5

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!

Could be 3 nil up or 3 nil down with everything in between. We still don't look ourselves, but it feels a bit closer with those fullbacks. The script this season would be scoring first and losing in the dying moments in this, so I really hope we can turn a corner here. Ref is a proper flannel, giving them every tiny thing.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The defender who has by far performed best for us against Man City and against Haaland is Lascelles tbh.

Doesn't look like handball to me either, was just saying how the rule works really.

Chuffed for Wilson like. He really does have a penchant for rising like a phoenix from the flames.

Nah, any handball at all, intentional or not by the goalscorer = disallowed

Do we have to continue with this season? I've really enjoyed the last two weeks.

Yeah, that'll be why. I think really, more accurately it's something more like If you make posts like this, that's probably why everyone thinks you're a silly goose that shouldn't be taken seriously.
