Burn man of the match there. An absolute monster and got in the way of everything.

Big Joe’s performance and this, that’s it. Win, forget about it and move on.

 

The football will eventually kick into gear. Not worried about that at all.

 

With this really good start we have there's a bit of pressure to get points on the board and take advantage.

 

Delighted with all 3 today.

Said it many a time . If Joelinton is in our side we're completely different. The energy and commitment , defensively he's like Ngolo Kante mixed with Jack Charlton

Thought you said Jack colback there 😂 

[Sammys_Tekkers]

He was shite overall, but can see why Pawson gave the red in real time. VAR being pathetic as per usual to not overturn that.

 

Not a pretty performance, even before the red, but a win to start is what matters. 

[gazza ladra]

That's why I'd take Joelinton over Gallagher.

[Donut]

I can't take 35 more games like this  I think it was @KaKa who mentioned during the game he looked forward to a relatively relaxing opener and I felt exactly the same before the match. 

But how good does it feel winning a scrap like that? I'm so pumped. Abysmal refereeing throughout really put us all on the edge. Well done to the players for sticking it out. Whew. 

 

 = MOTM for me.

[Kid Icarus]

Hope Diaz is chuckling about that. Southampton were miles better when we had 11 men. His pathetic histrionics woke up the crowd, gave us focus, set a fire under our midfield, especially Joelinton, and ultimately played into our strengths: solidity, commitment and shithousery. Womp womp ye gimp.

 

Pope: 7

Livramento: 7

Krafth: 7

Burn: 7.5

Hall: 5

Longstaff: 7

Bruno: 7.5

Joelinton: 8.5

Gordon: 6

Isak: 6.5

 

Don't normally rate subs but feel like Kelly should get a 7. Felt more comfortable when he was on.

Just watched the red, no idea what Anderson was on about on the commentary saying it was a fair red and moaning about it being Schar's fault. If the ref really thinks that Diaz's rolling around on the floor clutching his face is a normal reaction, even to an actual headbutt, then I've got to question his ability to be a ref. Add in the fact there's ample opportunity to ask any other member of the refereeing team, etc, it's just pretty poor, especially with the initial incident coming from Diaz literally hurling himself into Schar in the first place. Sounded like we were easily the better team on the day and ground out the necessary result after being reduced to ten men, like you'd expect of any top end team. Of course, the only problem now is that it makes out search for a central defender all the more desperate and put us further on the back foot of any negotiations.

I'd imagine Kelly will start at left back going forward. I like Hall but he didn't do himself many favours there, he had some good moments (clearance off the line) but made some proper dodgy decisions with his passing out in the second half when we were up against it. 

 

Kelly coming on killed the game off.

Yeah I had to choose between those two. Joe was magnificent and the goal was a really great touch and finish. Gave it to Burn because he was over employed today and almost every Southampton shot seemed to go off him for a corner or be headed away by him. Close call.

Also thought Tino was quietly solid on the other side, made some important recovery challenges.

This. Almost what football should be about. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

Nothing like our beloved Newcastle United to get the blood flowing again after the summer. They should give valium out at the club shop . 

[BergenMagpie]

Still pissed off despite we won 

[BennyBlanco]

Some takeaways from that game. The midfield of Bruno and Joelinton makes me hard as a cats head. Joelinton was a man mountain. Burn put in a great shift. Gordon's head was up his arse in the first half but gradually came back into the game - nowhere near his best though. Not a good day for Lewis Hall at all but he's young and clearly has potential. 

 

Brereton Diaz deserves leprosy. Craig Pawson's wife is clearly getting rattled by a Geordie. 

 

Last thing - Bruno showed his quality as captain today. Gee'd the crowd up, made some really vital interceptions, was a bit of a cunt with the niggly fouls when needed - just really showed his experience. I love him in a very confusing way sexually.
