For the vast majority of this half we have been fantastic, calm in possession and composed but a couple of errors have killed us.

Momentum has shifted but we'll keep playing. Just got to be careful of over-playing sometimes.

We’ve been the better side done in by two errors.

Martinez's throw wasn't much cop and Cash didn't give Kamara much chance.

I'm fine with this, get the sloppy /tired looking errors out of the system now.

Got the bay windows open. Someone next door is up late smoking weed. Never had that before. It is wafting in and annoying me.

Still playing some fantastic football. So well drilled. It's great to watch.

Didn't intend to watch, but couldn't turn off. Few silly bits at the back, but we've played some really good stuff.

We've made Newcastle look very ordinary. Sloppiness has let us down but Dougie and Buendia have been a joy to watch.

I'm not sure at what point they have got to grips with our midfield?

Didn't have much choice though because the ref let Isak stand very close to him, a better standard of ref would've made him move away.

Kamara had already got away with one earlier on. Good response from Newcastle though.

The atmosphere in Philadelphia is a bit cheesy.

Newcastle literally didn’t know what to do most of that half except to hit it over the top and try and exploit the high line.

We’ve gifted em two goals when they got physical and dispossessed us too easily because we started dwelling too much. A bit of complacency and overconfidence perhaps, but now is the time to change that mindset.
