Yeah I was quite pleased with the result. Wasn’t our strongest team, so there should be plenty of potential for improvement. I felt overall we dealt with the game sensibility, and worked well as a team to see out the result. The defence wasn’t a complete panicked mess at any point, and rarely it didn’t seem like someone would do something stupid to let them back in.
As you said, with a similar line up in the past no one would be shocked if we lost that game. There was still 1 or 2 weaknesses we’ve seen before, i.e xhaka being bit too slow in midfield, and mhiki continuing to struggle, but in fairness he upped his game in second half. The youngsters all did quite well, guen had a great game, and chambers was surprisingly calm and dealt with Newcastle attack well on the whole
Burnley should be bit tougher, but we should have more first team back. Hopefully we get a good win, then more confidence and match fitness heading into the Liverpool game
Burnley at home should be a gimme.
I think Mkhitaryan will be phased out as the season progresses if Nelson improves. He offers so little, which is a shame given how good he can be.

Burnley shouldn't pose us to many problems. The Liverpool game is scary at this stage of our team's development though. A heavy beating could really impact our fragile confidence and roll on to the Spurs game.
I'd take a 1 goal defeat to the scousers now, get it out of the way and then beat Spurs leaving us 9 points from 4 games which is a great start bearing in mind our tough set of fixtures.
In other news the winning Lotto numbers for Saturday are 1, 14, 47, 36........
