We were perfectly capable of holding on and even scoring with bit more pragmatism and reorganization instead of trying to hold on to our asses with eleven players behind the ball as though we were up against Bayern/Barca. Any neutral watching would say we totally lost our shape defensively despite playing with 5 at back. Sometimes proper organization matters more than playing 5 at the back..
If my Aunt had balls...
We won, and we won the Manure way against a team that had only lost once at home all season.
If don't mean shit. We got the 3 points, its games like today that will win us titles. Not winning 5-0 at a canter while playing sublime ball busting, cock jizzing football against Prem League whipping boys.

Just cos we got the right result does not mean we went the right way about doing so. Yes a win is a win but we need to learn from our wins/losses in-order to not repeat the tactical mistakes. Just cos we won does not mean we should repeat the trick of sticking 5 across the back and hope for the best. Today we barely managed to hang on another day it might land our a*s in the soup. Nobody is underplaying the importance of result but what several people including me are talking about is the fact that we made a hard weather of it against Newcastle by unnecessarily trying to sit back and defend deep in our own half. I am of the kind who wants to go through/analyze both when we loose/win cos there is always a lesson to learn from both.
