Commentator almost creamed his pants when Wood heads the ball, what, fifteen yards wide

See what they wanted to do on that set piece.

Commentary team doing a great job of reminiscing but not commenting on the match. ’let’s talk about me’

We struggle to control the tempo of games

Buendia sick of the listing bout and sends it back to Emi

Superb anticipation from Ty

I think his personal relationship with DS helped him get through previous difficult spells. I get the impression that SG is more hands off with players and expects them to show mental strength. The last couple of months have seen a different Ollie Watkins: low on confidence, apathetic about matches, and even his usual tenacity in chasing things down is now reducing. Like all strikers, he's a selfish so and so: this is manifesting itself in ways that are proving unhelpful atm. I don't know how SG is meant to manage Ollie's confidence: other than hoping a ball bounces off Ollie's arse in a match and convinces him he can score again. If Ings can do the work off the ball, fitness permitting, then he'll start over Ollie again Newcastle.

SG's influence on this man is incredible. Clearly there was a player there -- and he was showing some flashes of quality under DS -- but my word: the last few months have been incredible for him. The fact that he can even be on the same wavelength as Coutinho (and revel in it) is just remarkable.

Has he been asked to play a bit deeper now we have Coutinho and Emi firing?

He looks tidy in the middle and final third but I was getting a bit frustrated by the couple of times he tried to play out of trouble at the back yesterday. Almost got caught out at one point. Not the decisive impact he would have wanted, but he's learning. If his trajectory is anything like JJ's then we'll have some player.

He was positionally all over the shop last night. Getting drawn out when he should stay and staying when he should close down. His little fumble around their keeper that resulted in the second yellow was driven by frustration at his own performance. Rough day at the office. When both he and Mings are off it, and the middle of the pitch looks marshmallow soft, we're in trouble. That's what happened in the second half last night.

I always think he looks like a young priest when he wears the sweater, suit, and tucked-in collar combo. Bit weird, really.

Emi’s face when holding that Ball. That’s the face you want to see from your lover, isn’t it?

Dangerous play from, Rafinha

*Kenneth Williams gif*

They really are dickheads aren’t they? There’s always a scrap or altercation when they play. Bad attitude

Chambers’ chest looks weird. Too long, Chambers out,

Seen the replay. Okay

Does the keeper really need to go down like that, though?

Come on, corner! SJM

Good strength Chuk

Second half has been poor from both sides.

Need to come out with a strong first half performance. No excuses. No having to play a blinding second half because the first was so poor. Need to be at it, both in terms of effort and organisation, from the first whistle.

Wish their social media team could’ve picked a different picture. Cheeky pinch for your birthday:
