feel like it was the first time we’ve managed to play an aggressive press this season so far. We won the ball and forced errors high up a lot.

 

This is the right sort of team to press very aggressively as they are not great passing out from the back.

A strange feeling to win 8-0 without even playing that well. 

 

I was expecting Sheffield as a newly promoted side to put in a spirited performance, but they lost heart completely.

You can’t win 8-0 without playing well, surely? We were magnificent. Tightish until we scored and then we pummelled them.

Newcastle United and taking out their early season frustrations on the city of Sheffield with 8-0 thrashings. Name a better duo. :lol:

 

Crazy but thoroughly enjoyable game. Totally ruthless and Sheff United barely played like a competitive Championship team, to be brutally honest. It felt like our 7th and 8th came when we'd actually stopped proactively trying to score all that much. 

 

Pope: 7

Trippier: 10

Schar: 8.5

Botman: 9

Burn: 9

Bruno: 8.5

Anderson: 8.5

Longstaff: 8.5

Almiron: 8

Wilson: 8

Gordon: 10

 

Probably some harsh marks there, but unless I gave Trippier and Gordon 11s or 12s the scale would have been out.

Yeah, not having the 'they were so bad' stuff.

 

We broke their spirit out there. Made it difficult for them to play and then also passed around them too.

 

Class performance. Scoring 8 and not conceding in anyone's stadium is nuts.

Can only remember one other 8-0 win for Newcastle, Bobby Robson's first home game in charge against Sheff Wed in 1999. 19th September, so almost 24 years to the day.

We had a Shedf Wed supporting mate with us that day. No o e won out guess the score sweep so we bought him a blue pint.
