Our third goal yesterday - shades of a Holy Trinity Goal - which where scored on a regular basis

One of my overriding feelings coming out of the Bullens yesterday was how different we looked in terms of players covering for each other, looking to play each other on anticipating moves. Been a long time and it was great to see.

Dwight McNeil's goal yesterday left me happy - pure football - in a glimpse I shut my eyes that could have been Johnny Morrissey on the left wing going past players with tricky footwork - as he was never blessed with pace, but had the most deceptive quick fast feet right or left - then the impetuous back heel into McNeil's path to score I had a vision of Bally in mind thats how the Trinity played for 90 minutes in many games -

John Robertson of Nottingham Forest was very comparable with Morrissey as a winger, if that helps so skilful, but not fast

It's the best team goal I have seen us produce for years, skill wise McNeil is still an unknown quantity as to what position he can play for us - it's early days for him, but our manager now has to fetch consistency in that midfield as if you have a pacey engine room with pace & skill that works it fetches goals - as yesterday proved - one swallow does not make a summer, but we have to build on that performance with consistency ....

Can I be the first to congratulate you, on your longest post ever, without a single spelling mistake and also the fact that it didn`t read like something off the walls of Tutankhamun`s tomb.

Well done Joey, keep up the good work.

Gordon's goal was basically this.

From 1967-1970 we used to go as fans not thinking would we win, but by how many we would score as the game was in the bag before entering the ground we went to be entertained - yes we had the occasional blip - but it was rare

Absolutely right. We respected some teams but we feared no - one. We were football royalty - and played the game the right way unlike dirty Leeds or those bloody robots up the road.

The 3rd from McNeil was certainly a classic old fashioned dribble but as people have pointed out, the 2nd was almost the perfect team goal. Every player except Gueye was involved. Even the 12th man played its part with a resounding "Teeeeeern" as Iwobi received the ball in space. My first game back at Goodison since the pandemic. Terrific atmosphere.

You dont have to go back that far. We scored a lot of combination goals under Roberto.

To paraphrase Brendan Rodgers, "It is great for the public here in Newcastle to see us. They must have been wondering what this team everyone is talking about are all about and now they have seen. We were wonderful.”
