Very odd today's footie thread, nowt from the Utd, Chelsea or Liverpool mob.
Not sure what is needed to be said - didn’t play very well with the final ball being poor but got the three points and the win to stay joint top

And Kompany prob should have been sent off - high and dangerous with studs going in

When it happened we were at the other end of the ground and at the time honestly couldn't see what had really happend. Thought it looked naughty on MOTD If it had happend to A city player I would of said a sending off. Thought the Sane tackle was worse than Kompanys in the sense of " why do it there". What did mark me with MOTD was a challenge on Mendy. He won a high header and whoever it was hallenged Mendy who spun 180 whilst airborne. It was very naughty but nowt is shown.

Get in. Great substitutions, we have got out of jail (y).

Top stuff for Tosun to score. We look better with a proper centre forward rather than a fake one but he needs to score to get picked.

Referee was dreadful. Zaha made 6 or 7 fouls and somehow got away without a booking, some of the worst reffing I've seen in a top flight game.

So glad we got the 3 points in the end. Palace came for a 0-0, they were time wasting from the first 5 minutes. Everyone went mad in the stands when DCL converted the 1st. 2nd half was awesome.

Hit the bar, missed a pen, had something like 40% possession away from home? Apart from the last 15 I thought we looked the more threatening team???

The big difference was your managers willingness to change his team and bring on subs. Your bench is decent and won you the game, fair play.

You were time wasting from the first minute. Keeper was taking forever to take every goal kick, free-kick, players were kicking the ball away to delay set plays, staying down an unnecessary amount of time, was ridiculous. Maybe just noticed it more from the stands but was painful to watch at times. I also disagree that you were the more threatening team, we dominated the game, you had opportunities but we controlled the game and created more and looked more like scoring the whole game - and the stats back that up - more possession, way more shots, more corners, more shots on target. Zaha was very impressive though, has to be said, whenever he got the ball we struggled to get it off him, so strong, quick and a beast on the ball. He was getting a bit of a ribbing from our fans for his constant fouling and should have been booked but his general play was superb, was great watching him from the stands, he's got everything.

Have to say also, Andre Gomes looked seriously impressive in midfield. A Jorginho-esque midfielder, he ran the midfield, started basically all of our attacks, he was superb, MOTM for me. Think a midfield trio of Gomes, Gana and Gylfi could be very good indeed. Very positive signs and 3 wins on the bounce!

Good to hear. We are now developing some depth, depth with creativity.

What are your thoughts in playing Richarlison through the middle up top? I'm not a fan but being at the game you get to see the whole picture. I'd rather someone else was the focal point and he could come and go, be more random.

Gomes is going to be a brilliant signing on yesterdays evidence, was so impressed by him.

Didn't work yesterday. A lot of our play down the wings was negated by not having anyone in the box to whip it into, and Richarlison just seemed to get bullied a bit by Sakho and Tomkins. Once Tosun came on we looked a lot better. I'd like to see Bernard or Lookman out right, Richarlison left and Cenk up top. Was amazing to see the difference in Cenk after he got the goal as well, looked confident again and had a couple of nice runs late on and looked really threatening. Walcott was dreadful yesterday. Lazy, rarely made forward runs so was giving Seamus no options, only started running at Van Aanholt in the last 10 mins he was on the pitch and had no final product, was not good. Looked a different side when Lookman and DCL came on for Walcott and Bernard (who didn't have his best game yesterday either, was very wasteful in possession).

Tosun will be banging them in now is free of the burden of leading out my Fantasy Team of course. :LOL: My three-man defence of Trippier, Robertson and Mendy got me most of my points this week!

In other news, stop the press - Sissoko got an assist. He did something useful! Assisted the only goal in beating West Ham away, that's worth the 30 mil right there.

That was similar to my thinking. Cenk seems to be a confidence player and his lack of goals has weighed him down. I think we look better with him up top but only if he is the guy from the last 10 minutes yesterday. We can be strong out wide but playing it into no one, or realising that no one is there and so not playing it, is pointless.

The good news now is that if Walcott has one of his stinkers, or any other midefielder, then we can swap him out, we have options. Perhaps could have happened earlier but that is being hyper critical. The future is blue :ROFLMAO:(y).

If you ever want to cheer a Toon fan up, and boy do they need it, then mention Sissoko. Their faces light up, the grin starts to spread. Then they will utter those few words, "how the F... did we get £30m for him" :LOL:. Even now, after a good few years it still has the same effect.

Surely that will all change after his glorious assist at the weekend?

17+ shots in our last 3 games. We managed 17 shots in 1 match in the whole of last season. 98 shots and 53 corners in our last 6. 7 matches in a row where we've had more shots and corners than the opposition. THIS is what we wanted to see after watching Allardyce football last year.
