Newcastle United 2 - 1 Stoke City - 16/09/17 (post match reaction from p21)


Recommended Posts

That's a fantastic result. Those are the types of games that we simply didn't used to win. Going off the second half anyway.

 

Absolutely. Great that we kept fighting and got the result still, after the disappointment of them equalising having squandered some great chances for ourselves.

Elliot - 7. Should've done better with the goal, but lots of good saves.

 

Yedlin - 6. Thought he was a bit rusty but did well on the whole.

Lascelles - 8. God.

Clark - 9. Awesome.

Mbemba - 7. Couple of shaky moments but good on the whole. Loses a mark for that handball.

 

Merino - 7. Classy as ever.

Hayden - 6. Another mixed bag.

 

Ritchie - 8. Excellent, and a super assist. So friggin tenacious.

Ayoze - 8. Cracking game; hassled, harried, pushed us forward.

Atsu - 8. As above really, plus a super goal.

 

Joselu - 5. A point for every million spent.

Pretty much agree spot on with that. Maybe would have pushed Merino to 8

Rafa Benitez is incredible man. Got this squad of players looking very useful.

 

His comments this week about having just one game a week helping preparations a great deal, looks like being key for us this season.

 

Very very happy.

Thought Yedlin was one of our better players today, he worked his bollocks off up and down.

 

Yeah if I would rated after 80' I would have said 7 maybe higher since Im feeling good but I think a little match fitness issues shown there at the end with dropping off Sobhi and  that pass he left short back to Ritchie, which is usually a tell tale sign of fitness issues. Otherwise I agree, he was very good.
