No chance we were conceding with him today Makes you realise why they were relentless in staying in for him. The transfer saga went on for ages, but we can all see why now. I feel Shcar compliments him so well, it's going to be very interesting to see how we look to find his future defensive partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Love that response by Botman, the club has sorely needed that type of self-assured confidence. Arrogance even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 de Boer was there pitchside working for Dutch TV. Had a huge chat with Benni McCarthy before the game who I forgot is on the Man Utd staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Thought this lad was fantastic yesterday. Watching the highlights back the majority of our moves start with him winning the ball and distributing it quickly and accurately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 His intervention for the first goal was absolutely key. World-class team goal overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Remember at one point it was a toss up between signing him or that lad from Sevilla who Aston Villa signed (can't remember his name) and I was absolutely desperate for Botman because of his age, his physical stature which is perfect for this league, and that I'd seen him live playing for Lille and just thought he looked an absolute class act. So happy we got him. Hope he's here another 10 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, asked Botman some questions about how wor Eddie has turned the club around so quickly, to which Sven replied his ability to get players performing at a level they didn’t think they’d be capable of.

Sean Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Have to keep reminding myself how young he is. He plays like a veteran, not a 23 year old in his first season in this league. Scary to think, and quite hard to imagine actually, that he could get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Rewatched the extended highlights again. Think he gets the MOTM for me. He was absolutely crucial for the 1st goal and won so many turnovers. Totally class Edited April 3, 2023 by AJ9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy we got him. Hope he's here another 10 years With hindsight it worked out well getting neither as we got Burn who was enough to get us clear then play this season. We were always going to go back for Botman but if we got him in January, would we have went for Burn in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Maybe you won't remember him much from a game like this but that tackle on Antonio was crucial, and another superb performance at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 For first season in PL he’s absolutely elite. He will be one of the worlds best in a short time. His confidence on the ball will continue to grow and his reading of the game will only improve. Absurd talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already a leader. It's probably because he gave very little away in emotions when he first joined but there's something that feels quite special about him showing his emotions. Maybe hyperbole but I can see a special connection forming in the coming years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
