I'm just thinking, as a manager, obviously, you've played so well, haven't got that goal.

You look at the likes of Samson, come on, Andy Carroll, come on.

How does that change your thinking as a manager?

Obviously, when you've been so dominant, when you see these likes of players come on.

At the top of the programme, we mentioned Newcastle having to come out sharp and strong and take the game to you.

I was so impressed with the way you guys are comfortable on the ball, even from the back, playing out from the back, I was so impressed.

Is that something that you've asked your players to take on board?

Yeah, I think obviously from the Newcastle point of view, I think they'll be slightly disappointed, especially with that first half.

We mentioned it at half-time.

It just looked like Brighton were just the more dominant team.

As I mentioned in there, they were all comfortable on the ball.

It seemed like they had too much time on the ball.

And I think Newcastle, like we said, had to stop the game fast.

And it was actually Brighton that did that.

And you could see the timidity in the Newcastle side, obviously with the fans, with the crowd.

They did the quiet in the crowd down and Brighton grew in confidence.

So it was pretty disappointing from a Newcastle point of view, but you flip it.

Brighton were fantastic in that first half.

You know, you look at the chances that they created, the way they got through the Newcastle side, I thought it was very impressive.

I think the whole stadium thought it was in.
