Every silver lining ….. has icing on top.
Hope you're keeping well mate.It was a bit tbh - in the first half both teams were guilting of loosing possession with some careless passing - including Cowill, Mitoma and Gilmour but all played an excellent game overall.
I just don’t think it’s particularly clever to be down on any player after a win like that - no, none of them are perfect and no player has plays consistently well over the season as we know but we win as a team and all players played their part today. We would have been much weaker in MF without Mackie and that’s the point.
And Arsenal were also playing in Blue today so that confuses the issue
Just the tonic, today eh?!?!

Deniz Undav speaking to Sky Sports:
"We showed a good reaction after defeat by Everton. It was a big three points and we're happy we got the win."
"The manager showed us a Michael Jordan video, to show us how he motivated himself each game. He showed us after the defeat by Everton and I think it was the right choice to show us the video and we showed today how mentally strong we are."
Jason Steele:
"Last week was a freak result. We're still learning and it showed us that we have to maintain our mental attitude week in, week out."
"After last week it was a case of resetting and making sure we were fully prepared for today. It was massive for us, We've now beaten Manchester United and Arsenal in the last three games, and if we can't grow from that and take confidence from that then we're doing something wrong."

Mate we are all fans, me casually saying Ali Mac gave the ball away more than usual and has been a bit quiet last few games is not negative. I said it whilst we were still 0-0 too, not just after going ahead.
You're ignoring all the praise I've heaped on our players and focusing on the one observation about Ali Mac.
I'm not the only one that made that observation about Ali Mac either btw.
Anyway I don't want to bang on about this after a great win!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud as an Albion fan. Fantastic performance, especially after Monday’s horror show. Three more points at Newcastle please!

Thought Newcastle robbed us at the Amex. We were far better. The way we're playing it must be possible.
