If we perform like this and do not improve significantly I can see us being spanked more often than not this season'

Good move by giving Amos his debut, we are going to need him this season

My MOTM is our world cup winner

Above par: Jan, Hugo, Alli

Par: Sanchez, Dier

Below par: Aurier, Davies, Sissoko, Lucas, Eriksen, Kane

First game of the season that's to be expected a little, need to get some much needed match fitness and cohesion in our game which is the main thing.

Hugo MOTM. Sanchez, Jan, Dier and Alli did well. Harry looks tired. Aurier staking an early claim for 2018-19’s most frustrating player.

Tricky away game on the first day of the season, I’m actually happy with the performance. Davinson was my motm, great again. I wasn’t expecting much from Dier and sissoko in CM but they both did alright, Dier in particular played very well. Disappointed with Moura, was expecting more after his decent pre season. Alli and eriksen decent, but you come to expect that. Vertonghen very good as always.

Thought Hugo, Dele and Dier were excellent, Kane and Eriksen less so.

Dele the best player on the pitch for me. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from him this season.

Think we're going to have to let Dembele run out contract if comes to it. If Winks can't get fit we can't rely on Sissoko having to start week in week out when trying to get top 4 and do well in CL. I don't mind him as a sub but let's be honest he's not good enough to be starting for us.

Alli, Lloris, Jan, all excellent.

Sanchez great bar their goal. Dier fine.

Everyone else quite poor, particularly Kane.

Aurier not good enough and never will be. Sissoko let down by poor ability rather than idiocy.

Lucas looks a bit crap.

I'll do a full ratings post later, but whilst I wouldn't disagree on the whole for saying the likes of Hugo and Jan were our better performers, you do have to ask who exactly is marshalling the defensive lines back there and getting things organised?

A lot of Newcastle's 'moments' came about because player A was not working in harmony with player B, or (as happened far too many times for my liking) the right side of the defence is doing a completely different thing to the left side. Or we're getting in a muddle as to who is marking who. You, well I, watch it and think sometimes they just cant be talking to each other. Someone stepping up and leading may, just may, even rein in someone like Aurier and give him a bit more direction to his play.

Lloris 7- Good

Aurier 5 - A generous five. The cross for the goal was great but he was a disaster for the rest.
Sanchez 6 - Fine
Vertonghen 7 - Good
Davies 4 - Much like Aurier but without a good cross..

Dier 7 - Played well when he wasn't put into trouble from others.
Sissoko 5 - Covered an almighty amount of ground, but is still clueless and switches off on when we turn it over.
Alli 7 - Good goal. Unlucky on a couple of other occasions

Eriksen 6 - Good set pieces in the first half. Pretty awful second half bar a five minute spell.
Lucas 6 - Some nice flicks. Would like to see more urgency with his off the ball movement. Don't like him playing so narrow.

Kane 4 - Awful. Second half particularly.

Agree. No way in hell can we be selling Dembele. It would be madness. Give us one more season, and then he can get a nice, fat Bosman contract next summer.
