@HungLee said: "Got to get Rondon bought. Worth £16million. Otherwise, it's start again to try and find a striker who can play in the Premier League"

@MattyNUFCSmith added: "Hope Miggy and Schar get well soon! Was gutted they both came off injured!"

RATINGS: Three 8s and one TEN as Newcastle ease to victory against Southampton@TeamAndrew posted: "Couple of thoughts about the game. Soton first half were one of the worst teams we've played this year, second they huffed and puffed but rarely troubled. Deserved win. That was the poorest I've seen Rondon play, just couldn't get the better of their CBs. Perez was class"

@sldouglas88 commented: "Hat-trick Pérez! Must be worth £20mill+ this summer!?"

@MagOSotP posted: "No harm no foul in the long run (we got the points) but even still Ward-Prowse should have been off"

@Jordnufcmorris added: "Brilliant result! @AyozePG outstanding again hopefully it’s not bad news on Schar and miggy"

@dnicholson93 said: "I’ve been one to criticise Perez in the past. But what a player he’s turning out to be. Absolutely crucial to our season, long may it continue"

@Bristol_NUFC tweeted: "Perez fantastic, no doubt. But how there’s talk of Ritchie leaving #nufc is beyond me. Putting his head on the line like that optimised his commitment to the black and white"

@RoryPBull commented: "Probably one of the most criticised players for #NUFC getting a hatrick. Tell you what, he’s been wonderful ever since Almiron has been playing for Newcastle. Ashley you know what Rafas going to say, if you want his contract extended"
