Trev had a fine game.

Disasi solid and probably our number 1 CB option.

Cucu was good although he does tend to dive in like he did for their second.

All 3 of those. Trev was all over the place at times, his defending was pretty poor, his positioning was worse. 

Disasi was neither solid nor is he No.1, he plays because hes fit, but he has been very poor since december, and once again was caught out several times against Newcastle. He seems to be caught on the wrong foot far too often for a quality CB, his body position is very odd.

Cucu wasnt good, he was ok for his standard, which is a low bar since he signed. He broke up our attacks more than Newcastle's, constantly turning back to pass it backwards, bringing nothing positive going forward. He then had his usual brain fart that led to  a goal.

Agree with all of that. If Newcastle were in better form, or had Callum Wilson available, we would have been punished. 

The Disasi / Chalobah CB partnership is makeshift at best. I've seen it a couple of times now and both fill me with dread. I like them both, but they both have so many errors in their game. Think if everyone was fit, Colwill and Fofana would be first choice pairing. I absolutely love Silva, but have to accept, this is probably his last season and there are obviously huge question marks over whether Fofana will ever be able to play many games. So see rotation of Disasi, Chalobah and Badiashile, or perhaps releasing one or two of them and signing another CB.

Wins a win and we’re in another semi final so can’t complain too much, Sanchez is a terrible keeper though and Disasi Chalobah are about as dodgy as can be
