A win is a win. We showed courage and we fought until the end. We had a little bit of luck with what lead up to the goal, but it was a brilliant finish.
Carvalho deserves to start a game; he’s been impressive in every outing — I’m just not quite sure whose place he takes. We could perhaps switch to 4231. Elliot had another good game so that was encouraging as well.
I’m not liking how flat we are looking and I’m annoyed that we haven’t signed a midfielder, but we have done well to beat Newcastle as they’ve been in good form and they managed to take a point from City. Granted, they were missing key players today, but they’re a well-organised side who have form and belief.
It could be a tough game on Saturday, but if we can win three in a row then that will be great and will fill me with more confidence. We will have Nunez available and he should give us a few more options tactically, and he’s a much needed pair of fresh legs. We’re desperately crying out for Thiago though. Thiago, Matip, Konate, and Keita can’t come back soon enough. Oh and we also have Jota who has been a big player for us as times.
