Wasn't really expecting a win here so Excellent performance again. Have said all along that our strength is that we are no longer as fragile as we were under previous managers. Always keep it tight and have a chance to get back into games we are losing. My Mrs agrees that Rafa's game management is like our Tantric Sex - she also insists on using a substitute for the last 10minutes.
Great performance again. We sat off them too much in the first half and paid a price. However Benitez clearly corrected this at half time and the players got at Arsenal. They never settled 2nd half as a result and we were full value for the win. Defending was superb again and tactically we got it spot on. The home form has picked up massively and Benitez deserves great credit for sending out the team much better prepared than before Xmas.
Absolutely outstanding performance. Bursting with pride after watching that game. Team were a credit to the city as were the fans. A happy day for Newcastle United
