Claudius slow start to the season but feels like he's hit new levels since the turn of the year.
As an aside, I do think the sub seems to have worked. Has given us a bit more control of the game and has unsettled Newcastle's defensive shape.
Don Pacifico team came out with more urgency. Cala helped
Man can strike a ball.
Saka takes down an orc
Who the fuck are these children wearing Newcastle shirts about to pitch invade?
Out of possession, Kiwior has been pretty decent today.
Kiwior putting in consistent 7-8/10s last few weeks.
Woooooo Benny inches wide..
Is it just me or has Martinelli's first touch improved a lot lately?
Mirth I think his first touch has been great for much longer tbh. He got some criticism for it in 22 but it's been excellent for the last couple of seasons.
Kiwior been better than Saliba lately
GooneriC lets sell him.
GooneriC Good to see him playing well from the right side of defence as well. Really happy with his performances towards the end of this season.
Kai coming on for Saka.. Nice to see the big guy back!
Kai for saka
jooced kai sighting
So good to see Kai back on the pitch
Booking for Arteta for kicking the ball onto the pitch. Lol. WTF?
Ref is bent. He doesn't like the scoreline
trossard has been shabby this half
Gazza M Feel like Trossard only has a half in him these days
Bring Nwaneri on for Trossard
