You're right, but Gerrard, as much as I hated the high pants diving twat, was a class above Henderson.

Yep, this is why he is so good, strength, balance and explosive acceleration. Most others would go down and take their chances at winning a free-kick where-as he will keep his feet and the ball. Here's hoping he can form a good partnership with someone, on the surface I'm not sure we have the right player for that at the moment. It needs to be someone with a good footballing brain so that rules out many of our lot...

Bit of a horror show there from Dubravka

Lovely stuff, terrible tracking for them. Good to see Dwight score.

Haven't carved any clear chances, ASM looks most likely for us to create something. Pretty dull so far.

Apologies for creating a new thread for this when there is already an existing one, but a piece of news as key as this is for the future of the club deserves a thread of its own IMO. Can you believe it, after all these years we've finally officially released Jack facking Colback. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-jack-colback-sterry-released-18473162

A very strange feeling; - Watching us win a game comfortably - Being clearly the better team throughout - Joelinton scoring

Standing novation for Joelinton on his way off and a huge cheer from the crowdmaster 3000, great to see for the lad.

Well played Joelinton and Almiron.

He's actually put himself about quite well throughout.

Fallen asleep there again.

Go for the jugular against this "second best defense in the league" pack of frauds. Bring on Muto.

Cracker Ritchue!

Thankfully a terrible header there, the first time they've threatened scoring all game.

Haha the ghost of Boumsong in defense there, after the commentary team had flapped on for ages about how great a defensive side they are.

Second yellow, the other was for the handbags with Joey earlier.

Ritchie's hair is straight out of a 90s rom com. Good contribution from Joey there.

At least the studio acknowledged the obvious shirt grabbing when Almiron went down.

If he was wearing all red we'd have a penalty and the defender would have a yellow card.

I mean sure, Almiron went to ground easily but the defender whobwas behind him, had a hand full of his shirt, why does it not even warrant a look?

Must have thought the job was done when he got in the box earlier.

Aye, looks like the players actually want to retain the ball rather than get it forward as soon as possible. Perhaps it's because they've seen what Joelinton offers when they get the ball forward.

What the heck was that from Joelinton?.... he ran a good line, first touch was good... then the... shot? Oh dear.

ASM super dangerous there.

Joey has picked up where he left off.
