Alexander Isak... £60m?! He was only a sub, but Newcastle United have nicked the next Thierry Henry!

[@markrhodes9632]

Love the clarity of this mans analysis.

[@midlandgeordie]

Another great summary,you must be the only credible reporter that works for the Mail!

[@maccy4829]

Sven Botman was MOTM for me. Of course the second half attacking afterburners will take the headlines but go back and watch him basically hold us together in the game in the first half.

[@elixirix]

the bad back pass he made a couple of weeks ago is almost his only mistake all season.

[@kevinatkinson636]

He's class , as good or will be as good as van diyk when he first went to Liverpool

[@nicestguyinhouse6112]

​@elixirix He done a bad pass across the back line the week after to tripier too but it didn't leas to anything. And his pen giveaway too. But it was all in like 3 games in a row, amazing considering that these mistakes are so easy to remember cause he hardly makes any, I mean was those 3 mistakes I thought to myself this is unusual, yet 1 of them led to nothing lol and since then he's been solid. Boys a top talent

Isak - the ability to run and turn with the ball faster than anyone else on the pitch who doesn’t have the ball.

[@michaelkelly7301]

Great report Craig it’s getting harder to single out a man of the match with Newcastle’s current form . They have all played brilliantly recently.👍

[@kreftan]

Been following Isak since his debut in Allsvenskan for AIK. CLASS, professionalism, great mentality, work ethic etc. Newcastle has gotten their hands on a real diamond of football. With Eddie Howe as a coach the sky seems to be the limit both for Newcastle and Isak. Been a pleasure to see the Geordies play this season and that's coming from an Arsenal fan.

[@dbulman2]

Love the videos Craig and having proper reporting on Newcastle when alot of southern based media can't give us the credit we deserved, spot on about Eddie improving players and their should be recognised more. Isak starting to look like a bargain at 60 million and club has the feel that the likes of him, Bruno ,botman will be here for the considerable future

[@kevinatkinson636]

Totally agree Craig is a top top class journalist and his posts on here are short straight to point none of this effing and jeffing all spotty faced wannabee "TRUE GEORDIES"..... Craig delivers his opinions in a fair way and everyone can comment and gave an opinion ....my opinion is CRAIG HOPE TALKS TRUTH !! THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH .....

[@Robert.Sheard]

What's this nonsense that Isak's not getting credit for that assist. Fred Astaire moves there.

[@markrhodes9632]

That was the assist of the season. He was just dancing with the ball. How many players did he beat!!!

[@pauljames77777]

Top video report Craig as always For me Eddie Howe deserves Manager of the year It stands out a mile For the game I watched Newcastle seemed to weather the storm in the first 25 minutes , the Wilson goal put the Everton fans to bed in the stadium after that first goal went in . The Everton offside goal if stood could have changed the course of the game ,we dodged a bullet by an inch there! Newcastle have so much confidence at present it stands out a mile We can pick out individuals each game but for me the team on and off the pitch collectivity all are heros in all different roles and positions in my eyes The choices Eddy has in team selection at present must be a nice one to have and he still has Maxi to comeback I am glad Eddie Howe gave Anth Gordon a run out with some 8 minutes or so I thought this was great move by him as it will help Gordon to move on from his past club Safe trip back up to Newcastle Craig , hope you and your family have a great weeked Look forward to your next report on Sunday hopefully reporting on another win and 3 points after the Southampton game 🇲🇨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️👍²

[@cluckingbell1772]

It's incredible how Eddie Howe has transformed the talents of so many players, notably Joelinton, Almiron and Willock.

[@kevinatkinson636]

Correct and improved players on every position on park

[@gordonkelly]

Murphy fast becoming one of the genuine poster boys for this too! Everyone forgets Schär as well.

[@geordiedog1749]

An up and coming young player has a choice of clubs. Why go to Newcastle? Well, with EH has a proven, demonstrable record of making you a better - a much better - player. It’s got to be a pull in their decision making.

[@magpies77]

Give up on almiron tbf had a purple patch but does hinder the team with his lack of head up lack of right foot

[@geordiedog1749]

@@magpies77 common critics of him but he’s got a lot in terms of other factors. His stats tell a very good story. Stats are not everything because interpretation but he’s still worthy of a place. Plus my bairns just got him on their shirts so don’t sell him for a bit please!

[@jamiekirkbride3414]

Hi Craig, thanks for another video. Credit to Everton for making it a rugged game for us in the first half. Their press caused us some discomfort and limited our creativity in the middle of the park. I actually liked the rotations, fresh legs of Targett and Miggy (who I think looked off btw). Joelinton was class as usual, grafted in that first half, broke up play and showed real potency at the other end of the pitch with an assist and a headed goal that required some technique. That Isak assist was something special, world-class. What a player he is. I love my team!!! I was happy when that hoover was switched off btw 😅

[@jamiekirkbride3414]

You forgot to mention that Willock volley - what a goal that would have been. Pickford's arms, though small, managed to save that one from going in.

[@kevinatkinson636]

Spot on Jamie absolutely big Joe was class and deservedly got motm

[@falconarrow]

Even now, I don't think other teams would take players like Murphy, Longstaff, Schar. But we bloody love them. That's why I'm not even fazed when players like McTominay are linked. Any player under Howe improves 200%.

[@jamessaltlife]

McTominay would be a quality signing if we can get him for cheap. We need an engine next to Bruno. If not.. Declan Rice?

[@sirpercy6969]

Isaak reminds me of Tino the way he turns and twists and incredible ball control…

[@deanharding740]

I watched the game last night and immediately saw Thierry Henry in Isaak - his lightning pace and balance, close control and grace is something I’ve not seen since Henry so good shout on that Craig. Some top performances last night … Joe Linton continues to get better and, again, Yaya Touré like is also a good shout who would have believed that! Bruno kept things flowing, breaking up play and putting his foot in as well as creating, Dan Burn immediately made the back 4 look more solid when he came on so let’s not underestimate his contribution either. Basically, you could go through the team and have something to say about each of them. They seem to have the ability to be combative when needed and combining it with quick attacking football with a solid base …. Not unlike Klops Liverpool when they were at their best ?

[@AlphaVic777]

Yes yes theirry, but look closely again , his mentor is Zlatan.

[@ronrichardson3103]

I agree they are looking good. But is there another level to go too?

[@gordonkelly]

Isak, Bruno, Botman -- all would command £100M fees or higher. Someone should make a song about them 😉

[@rogercookcouk]

Brilliant video Ctaig. Especially when one can see, hear, feel the joy and optimism after another class result! When Isak came on, it was like putting a car in overdrive! I said early in Isak's journey with is that he can do what ASM can do and more, and how that assist proved that! The skill! When MOTM remains a difficult choice, we're on a winner - pun intended!

[@muzimokoena]

I agree with you iam also getting that Thiery Henry vibe from Alexander Isak

Haaland is a goal machine but isak is the more complete player .. sheer poetry in motion...

[@broonybroony9564]

Fantastic result.Hard earned.The Isak set up was one of the greatest runs at a defence I have EVER seen.If he had scored it would have been Goal of the century.

[@Frostilicus123]

Great stuff as always, Craig

[@stephennutkin2477]

There are players who turned down the chance to go to Newcastle who must be thinking, “Have I made the wrong choice ?”. Because I now think that those players are no longer on the ‘want’ list.

[@nicestguyinhouse6112]

You know what I thought this yday too, and many turned us down for the champs league who probably won't get it next year and we will, even without Europe youbare right many players we will just bypass now and go straight for the better ones. That's why I love Trips and Bruno, they cane when we were bottom and instead of wanting release clauses if we go down they said no, and they would make sure we don't go down. The mentality of that is huge

[@barrylengbl]

Ekitike for one

[@RushfanUK]

Eddie Howe may not have been the first choice, he was the best choice though.

[@mojobag01]

That assist was art.

[@Kenshearer]

Great coverage. Love your videos/writing. Hate the Mail.

[@andyallom4357]

MOTM for me was Willock. He was magnificent. And if Pickford hadn't made a world class save, he would have scored the goal of the game.

[@vincineratev9183]

his 1st half wasn't good. But still great job done in the end.

[@elixirix]

yes that shot was amazing, and he thought he'd scored.

[@nicestguyinhouse6112]

That was Thierry Henry like also. Ashame it didn't count, same as schaars cracker too. But that willovk hit he was almost facing his own goal wow

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

World class save? It was ok but not world class unless you consider world class based on his arm size

[@budweizer100]

Willock needs a mention imo. One assist, almost scored a screamer, almost two goals. Something which also hasn't been mentioned is his overlapping run against Spurs which led to Joelinton being able to take it past their defender for the first goal which opened the floodgates. You can see the Spurs defender track Willock for just a second which pulls him off balance and creates the gap.

[@GeordieDreadTV]

I'm absolutely buzzing... don't wNt this feeling to end ⚫️⚪️

[@equaltemper]

I can't think of another player that can comfortably play as a forward winger and then effortlessly slot into central midfield when Isak came on. Joelinton is a rare asset. I have the feeling that Eddie Howe will be looking for other versatile players in the transfer window such as Ferdi Kadioglu who we've been linked with recently.

Great video as always Craig but come on, spill the beans as to who the pundit was that asked for your views. I suspect that you didn't name check him as it was someone on BT Sport duty that most of us fans don't have any time for due to the way he conducted himself when he was up in Newcastle. Someone has influenced his views in a positive way recently as he did seem to have a better take on us tonight 🤔

[@stevemartin1107]

Great video Craig again . Always informative and enjoyable to watch . I actually believe we will only need another 7/8 points to secure top 4 as I don’t think the other teams around us will win all of their games. And I think we will end up beating Man U to 3rd

He’d do very well for us. I’d take him and sell Almiron if I’m brutally honest.

[@andrewcharlton6080]

@@georgemorley1029. Sell Almiron if we got Rice? Rice is a CM, maybe if we sign Diaby there’ll be a discussion between selling Almiron or Murphy, both will be sellable assets as they’ve been excellent this season. Given we need squad depth I doubt we’ll sell either though.

Isak will be 150 m next season

[@geordietoonforlife.1155]

Craig I agree with Wilson as motm, that’s why Howe started him because he knew two big physical centre backs would do anything they could to win the ball and this is Wilson’s strength when he’s 100% fit he loves the fight against these types of centre backs he never stopped working all night long and once Everton chased the game that’s exactly the plan Howe hoped for because our football just grew and showed why we are 3rd top and that’s where we will finish. As for Isak and that run that needs to be shown all over social media unbelievable skill it needs all the attention it gets just like Willock and his assist against Spurs as these are special special skills that you won’t see every week no matter which team you support. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
