Anyone who thinks we're better off without Bruno is an utter utter moron, especially after the last two performances without him and with Mason Mount and McTominay playing instead.

Also, we would have done far better this season with Bruno false-nine, and Hojlund shifted to the right until he's good enough, like end-stage Lukaku was.

Finally a slightly better game. Having Licha back will be a big difference i hope.

Amad is such a quality player in the making. Just needs minutes and confidence. Saw today how good he could become. It’s only just beginning for him.

Good result, good game, but still some of the bad traits that have dogged our season still happened
Halftime winning record survives.

:devil:

Not a terrible performance overall. Amad MotM, followed by Bruno

Good game! I enjoyed that!

Bruno is the heart of the team!

Casemiro is still quality. He saved two goals in the first half.

Amad was fantastic. ETH should have used him more, especially since Antony isn't improving.

Mainoo and Garnacho are great talents. They seem somewhat tired. Which is understandable - young players should not be overused.

We actually did well to see out the game at the end there, mostly clever passing. We conceded a fair few chances but I think we looked better in possession, there’s still a few players who are extremely sloppy in possession like McTominay, Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro but replace them and our possession game improves tenfold.

Amad and Mainoo are both so good on the ball, adds so much to us. Amad deserves the rest of the season as RW, he’s potentially a great player.

Nice to finish the home season with deserved win and exciting game of football. I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking another 2 goal lead would be allowed to slip late on?

Have to better Newcastle's result on the final day to get European football next season unless can somehow beat Man City in the FA Cup final.

Amad is a tidy little player. Mad to think how little game time he’s had when we’ve been so lacking in creativity.

Actually an enjoyable game for once.
Amad is some player, how the hell has he not played until recent weeks. Sell Anthony hes surplus.
Bruno was superb tonight. Top of all the stats.
Amrabat solid bar odd error And we should have played him more at 6. Casamito much better..
Great to see Licha back.

Respect where it's due, Bruno played well and we need him in this side.

Happy with that. Wins have been hard to come by this season, so any win is appreciated. Bruno was superb, Amad and Mainoo showed their class. Hojlund scoring is the cherry on top.

It's a win, I'll take any joy at this point, some good performances but ETH tactics and some severely lacking players (I'm looking at you AWB) means it was always going to be difficult.

Amrabat gave us defensive stability, shielded that back 4 well all night. Bruno back gave us the creativity we lacked last match. Amad was excellent on the ball, can beat his man, can maintain possession, can shoot. Onana even with some good saves. Evans dollar for dollar has to be the signing of the season. Great to see Licha back, though.
