This score can be anything Newcastle want it to be. Just don't let Palace drag us down into a bit of thuggery and dont get caught up in Keegan'esque style attacking.

Will Hughes sensibly taken off by his manager and a similar sensible decision by Newcastle to take Joelinton off so he avoids a ban for a yellow card.
 
Think we were all a bit surprised to see him come off and not just be moved to the left - but in Emery we trust.

Rashford has been immense for us, he's not yet firing in loads of goals but he's exactly what we needed to bring in - I hope we activate the clause and sign him permanently in summer.
Funny how people see it, I think he has been ok nowhere near great or immense, certainly not consistent enough, still lazy. if you think he will join and improve I disagree, he doesn't see AV as a big enough club for him, his whole reason for the loan is for someone bigger and he's not good enough. All game and game after game is where he needs to be. MR sees himeself at a Champions League level and unforunately AV is not likely to be there regularly, it's great you are competiting but it's a gamble for any team to think they can hold down a top 4 spot nowdays.
 
Madrid haven’t even looked like they would get the result they required, they have just been so poor.
They just don’t seem to have that something extra they have had in previous years. Seems to be a lot more talk than football from the players.
Could be a bad year for Madrid as the title could be on its way to Barca as well.
 
Fantastic from Arsenal .
Every player was brilliant.

Real we’re stopped by Arsenal and they made them look ordinary.

Bizzare tactics from Real who seemed intent to put cross after cross in against a defence that would eat it up.

Rice and Timber were especially good and so was Martinelli. Top tier performance and very few better away performances in the CL by an English side that I can remember. To go to the defending Champions and make them look bang average takes some doing.

I think Real are still trying to find the right balance with their front three and they lack a peak Kroos/Modric type of midfielder.
