Holden McGroin 6785 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 West Brom are good team btw. Hugely underrated. We'll have to play really well to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7492 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What has happened to Santon? We has been wank for weeks now. Sissoko was pretty poor today too. I think in the first half (spare for the time where he very cheaply gave away possession and only Krul spared his blushes) he was quitre solid in defense and had a lot of work to do covering plenty of runs. Perhaps that's why in the second half whenever he had the ball he was slow and awkward, and when defending he was not particularly convincing.

OTF 7492 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Adding to that - With Debuchy missing next game through suspension I'd like to see Santon moved onto the right and either Haidara on the left, or M'Biwa moved there to facilitate Coloccini's return to the side.

I don't remember him actually dispossessing anyone. Not to mention his god awful positioning. Gouffran saved Santon with a tremendous performance offensively and defensively.

aimaad22 4222 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Superb first half. Rubbish second. Well not defensively, but we've got to learn to keep the ball in pressure situations. Loved our pressing on the ball for the goal, almost Dortmund-esque.What a wonderful little buy Gouffran has proved to be, fantastic all round player And the effect Debuchy is having on our defence cannot be underestimated. Wasnt too long ago you could see the 'Simpson is a better defender than Debuchy' comments here 6 points against Chelsea and Spurs. Didnt see it coming after the mackem game! Lets hope we can maintain the intensity in the upcoming fixtures! Delighted about today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Amazing how Mbiwa didnt knock that in the back of the net. He's facing goal, been knocked off balance and still manages to hook it away. Awesome defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Aye, couldn't believe that didn't go in. Cracking work by Mbiwa who took control of the situation as if ha say 'Nah, that ball isn't going in like, that's mine.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Reminded me a lot of QPR away in the season we finished 5th. How the fuck we didn't concede I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shape, high intensity and Tim Krul. Thought the centre backs both had a good games too. Nothing summed the game up better than Mbwia's goal line clearance.

ADP 0 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yanga-Mbiwa and Williamson looked excellent as a partnership again today. Yup, the best thing Newcastle has ever done for Williamson is give him a week of sunday dinners. Upper body is a lot bigger now and doesn't look anywhere near as lanky piss streak-ish as he used to. More importantly though, is that he uses his strength. I've slated him many a times on here but fair play like, he's been playing well recently.

It wasn't hard to notice how many times he have the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
