brendywendy thought we were ok in the 1st half- weathered the storm then pressed them for a good period
smith should probably have gone off, the second foul was worse than th e1st, and about two minutes after it, and long was pulled up when getting himself clean through on goal, no push, just used his body as the newcastle player flew by.
thought long looked good first half,as did cisse and pearce, and davies in the middle but when we conceded we lost our shape, and any leadership, and second half it looked like men against boys , coincidentally.
karacan and tabb chasing shadows, ran themselves to their knees, and pearce and cisse dropped right off the radar.
the two wide players were totally awful-at least i noticed kebe for trying stuff that didnt come off, but church was invisible, and without them long was left isolated-totally unfair to single him out IMO-kanu and nhunt looked dangerous when they got on from what i saw-worst player on the pitch my arse.
rosenior wasnt that bad, bertrand looked good, couple of good saves from fed.
pretty poor show though, regardless of the opposition-and they aint no man.U,thats for sure.
one striker, 1 winger, and a proper DCM still required IMO
and for christs sake lets replace some of the experience weve lost, or we could be in for some mullerings
Spot on as far as I am concerned...
