Doesn't matter that it was very tough at times or that, again, we should have scored more than we did to make it easier on ourseles...this was one of those games when the result, the win, was the only thing that really mattered.
As Eddie has just said, it showed a lot of character to regroup after their goal and find another level and that will be crucial going forward.
Isak has nother 70 minutes under his belt and was fantastic. When fully fit, he'll be a huge asset.
Maybe the luck was with us over the Nick Pope incident. Sky are adamant it was a foul and a red-they almost sound offended that it wasn't given but we've had some shitty decisions go against us this season so I don't care. It was one of those where you could reasonably argue for or against. Personally, I thought their player was looking for it and threw himself into Pope but, had it been the other way, I'd probably have a different opinion.
I'd rather, on occasions like that, he just twatted it.
As TT says, Dan Burn was excellent.
You know I love Longstaff but...we need someone who can do a bit more with the ball.
Could I just say that was a cultured header from Isak showing great technique.
Not a powerhouse sledgehammer Dunc or Sir Les header but a technical, efficient and directed one.
Class.
Aye, it was some header.
Wolves are a technically good team and are better than their position suggests so today was never going to be easy. And it wasn't but we won. Lot of credit all round today, I think.
Aye - credit to Howe for making the changes that needed to be made as well.
He could of stuck with Wilson and Miggy.
Of course they don't. The lack of research and knowledge/truth they know about the team... only 1 of 20, you know, nothing too important, just 5% of their entire daily career is infuriating. These clowns should know everything about every single team in the league, imagine a surgeon not knowing how to operate on 45% of the human body or anyone else ever only knowing about 6/20ths of their job and getting paid a fortune for it?
Mental!
However that's not the most annoying thing for me. Personally, it's the contemptuous, knowing tone of voice of someone looking down their nose as they brush off the crazy success we've seen Eddie Howe and the team (mostly inherited from Cabbage & the Slug) produce over the last 18months as nothing more than buying their way to success.
These are the same a$$holes who's brown tongues are planted firmly between the cheeks of the likes of Chelsea & Man U - two of the biggest culprits when considering buying titles!
Two of the most toxic clubs responsible for taking a grenade to the transfer market for 2 decades and inflating player wages to a point where even the most mediocre player now expected an average salary of £30-40,000/week.
Yet, Newcastle United are responsible for the status quo, we are the ones who are causing all the financial issues at the Beloved Liverpool, boohoo can't compete, only spending £70m on a Goal Keeper among others.
Pathetic!
Phew, we really needed that today! I think this is the type of win that shows just how strong we've become.
A lot of players fought their @sses off without necessarily playing their best games. Trippier obviously f*cked up but he also provided an assist. Sven and Fabian are still going strong and fought well today, I'm sure you all Schär that opinion with me.
It's great to see Miggy with another goal, if he goes on a run again than we will have a very interesting run towards the end of the season, Almi wrong or am I right?
You are right, Miggy seems to be a confidence type of player who thrives on success, and being loved by the fans. He could well go on another run, now that he’s scored and that could be the difference between Europe or no Europe. Isak must continue to start games imo,how else will he build up his fitness? That might anger, and motivate Wilson to up his game when he comes on. Regardless of this we still need another reliable striker next season, he might cost top money as well.
Looked at the Pope incident loads since. Whilst it could have gone either way, Jiminez clearly throws himself into Pope. He jumps to initiate contact to make the most of Pope's rush to try to undo his mistake.
He cheated. It was very slickly done and there is contact but he initiated that contact.
