Other than the cup against Liverpool, that must, especially the second half be the youngest team we have ever put out .You have to admit the kids did well . Bidace looked good first half, if it haven't been for a couple of deflections, he could of set Ollie up for another one and had one hisself. Breven was another, didn't look out of place at L/B .The man of the match, has to be Buendia, he was certainly on it last night . The last 15 mins, considering, we had what three 17y olds and two 20y olds in our front six, we put a full Newcastle side under a lot of pressure.
The one disappointment was Kamara, showing once again, he can't receive the ball under pressure . He nearly put us in trouble a couple of times, by losing the ball .

Kellyman looked very promising.

Buendia played like someone knowing his place is at risk. Those performances are why we paid so much for him and it would be great to see a few more.
I enjoyed watching JPB again, if he can learn to calm down when he is outnumbered then he'll be a top asset.
Good signs from Kellyman, the shot for Buendia's second was excellent and personified the maturity he showed.
Revan was solid but backed out on a few attacking opportunities bar the one top cross he put in.
Kamara is there for the defensive work for Doug to then play us out. He needs to improve in those tight spaces but would prefer others to stop putting him in that position to begin with.
We definitely still need a RB. Emery plays Chambers as the last resort he is, even in a friendly. I'm surprised he didn't go with Konsa there for a half with us being well stocked at CB despite our small squad.

Personally I was disappointed he didn’t try konsa at RB the see how the system would work with mings and Torres in the center.
