He can organise the defence as we all saw against Brentford when he got man-of-the match. Baffling.Defence was pretty organised against Citeh. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but Brentford were dire and it’s not illustrative one way or the other in terms of organisation. He is probably the best in the air of our centre backs.

Cant believe unai feels we reacted well after going 1 down. Thats just pure fantasy. We were bad for the whole game even with 11 men.

We are leaking goals at an alarming rate, especially in away games. The third goal conceded today was pathetic!

Game obviously turned on red card, soft but don't think Duran can have as any complaints. We had played our way back into the game after the early goal. I thought pre game that Emery should have made a few changes and so it turned out. A number of our players looked leggy from the off. Damage limitation exercise once the killer second went in. Martinez 6 - very lucky to get away with another pass to nobody that Newcastle should have punished. Some solid saves.Cash 5 - not to blame for first for me but awful use of possession in attacking areas again. Had to square that shot in first halfKonsa 4 - very fortunate to get away with that clearance...couple of solid clearances but thought our CB pair were bullied easily by IsakTorres 4 - poor yet again. Failing to cut out a series of crosses from that side, could have scoredDigne 6 - best of our back line with a reasonable display at both ends.Kamara 5 - lost ball in build up to first. Overran really thereafterOnana 6 - very good game spoiled by the error for the third goalMcGinn 3 - MIA for the first goal and a horror show in truth. Passing was back to championship level days.Rogers 4 - a few good runs but a bit flat today and switched off for second goalTielemans 4 - miles off it and fortunate wasn't punished for being caught in possession Duran 0 - started very well I thought but red cost us the gameBarkley had some nice touches, granted game was done. Kostas looks lost I'm afraid, maybe Buendia's last minutes for us. Watkins hardly had a kick. Bailey a bit meh but game was done anyway.

Maybe you were watching Forest?Were we? If you re read ny post i acknowledged the 10 men. Are you sure you were not watching citeh game? We were average at best and i wouldnt say we were on top. More even game but we just collapsed after the 10 men [the usual when we go to 10]
