Was gonna be murphy but etheridge has been faultless. saved our team from being a laughing stock.

If etheridge distribution was good hed been the best keeper in the Premier league.

Etheridge just edged it for me over Arter, made a couple of good saves in the first half & edged it with the penalty save.

Could have been a number of players Arter, Etheridge, Murphy among them. But I'm going for Víctor Camarasa.

We dominated that midfield area when he was on the field and when he went off it showed as Newcastle rallied and won the late penalty.

He was on a yellow card so I understand the substitution but I would have preferred taking Ralls off for Reid because I think in tandem with Arther we would have kept control of the midfield area even with Reid operating further forward.

Despite saving us a point, Etheridge was poor with his distribution today so I’m going to give it to Murphy

Harry Arter by a mile one of the best debut I can remember exactly what we needed in midfield. Manga also awesome and by far our best RB as he has always been despite some moaners on here. Don’t personally understand the votes for Murphy thought our two wingers were our poorest players today. Nice to see have a truly good midfield trio on the whole looking positive :D

Nobody had a bad game today and the three newbies were class but for me it was between Arter and Etheridge with the keeper taking it for at least three game-save g stops and the penalty save! :notworthy:

Great team effort i would give all but one an eight out of ten but ken has to have a six his hold up play and distrabution is good but it,s about time he has some heading lessons off sol and mozza.

I think you are being very generous giving him a six
I like him as a player normally but he was awful today. He could and should have had a hat trick.
He was poor and reminded me of tge Zahore of two years ago

Ether idle.... even before the penalty save... :ayatollah:

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Murphy for me.He put to bed two players,took some heavy knocks and looked our most dangerous player.Arter a very close second.
Etheridge was solid in goal but his distribution today was just awful.

But remember the KZ of 2 years ago turned it around and was unstoppable for 4 months. I would imagine the rest of the PL watching him will think he is of no threat when we play them.

Hopefully as NW said he'll become our 'secret weapon' again and surprise a few! Mind you he will have to work in his heading in training.

No

There were 14 of them

Great to have the choice of a few players to chose from.
Arter for me.

Thought Arter & Camarasa were excellent in midfield particularly Arter. However with his 2/3 excellent saves in the first half & then the penalty save I think Etheridge just edged out Arter for MOM.

Arter for me. The best our midfield has looked for a long, long time.

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:32 pm

Arter all day long. Thought midfield were all excellent today but Arter was everywhere and when he had the ball did simple stuff really well. I think he pulled the strings today and he was ultimately what made us look like a different team

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:34 pm

i thought Joe Bennett had a good game

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:34 pm

Josh Murphy. Should've had 2 men sent off. Couldnt cope with him. Hoillet should've come off.

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:35 pm

arter for me,great debut, has a great eye for a pass and didnt stop running and tackling all game, ralls camarasa murphy and etheridge played well, and a special mention for manga, i cringed when i saw he was right back but he was excellent there

Harry Arter def :thumbright: :bluebird:

Followed Neil Etheridge for two very good saves including the penalty :bluebird:

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Has to be Arter, dogged and didnt stop running, was suprised he didnt burn out! Awesome debut!

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 9:22 pm

Would have been Arter until the penalty save, Etheridge also kept us in the game in the first half

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 9:27 pm

You can see why Bournemouth have been successful the last few years, when a player like Arter is not a regular there . Absolute class.

Re: VOTE “ MOTM v Newcastle United (h) “

Sat Aug 18, 2018 9:45 pm

I voted Camarasa, as his was the most pleasing for me. Not surprised by Arter, Murphy or Etheridge, but Victor's first start in British football was a breath of fresh air and hopefully good things to come.
