Great tackle oerch

Not bad.

I have a different point of view. I think Cabaye should be playing as a deep playmaker role rather than the one running through centre. The first reason is that while you can say we aren't aggressive enough by this approach, our defending power in centre is just fucking immense. The Colo-Saylor-Tiote-Cabaye combo is the core unit of our defense and it's so strong that only Man City are able to tear it by normal build up play (and due to Raylor). I understand as a Newcastle fans we should cry out for more attacking power but the display against Man Utd cannot be forgotten. We fucking dominate the centre midifeld part against Man Utd. On the other hand, having Tiote and Cabaye in the deep actually provides excellent cushion against opponent's counter attack. Recently we have lost a few matches due to playing a high line defense which vulnerable to opponent's fast and direct counter, which imo could be prevented if Tiote and Cabaye have stopped the gameplay beforehand. The second reason is that such a formation actually requires two very good wingers as they are responsible to make plays. In fact our attacking play during the first half of the season was quite decent, if Obertan could be more productive. Now we have HBA as our right winger (i hope) and we should see huge improvement. And also, if we have to play HBA as our right winger, we definitely have to play Cabaye behind him. In short, I see Cabaye as a Scholes type midfielder more than a Dyer type midfielder. He doesn't has the pace, but he has the vision.

We must win this game. Chelsea and Liverpool likely to drop points tonite and we have to take this chance.

Much better than the same time last year I reckon. Nah, to me it's exciting, after the 30m bid rejected. Any bid higher than 30m for Carroll must be a bargain.

Worst deadline day ever. Fucking boring.

Quite calm today. No worries. No one is leaving. No one is coming. Popcorn time.

As if we have a chance to have him here Jesus

If you can't dribble on this "bad" pitch, then do something else, please.

And you know how fucking bad the other 10 players were.

Shocking attitude. Or in other words, disgrace.

I don't think it's ultra defensive. I would say Cabaye isn't playing aggressive enough. The formation isn't that bad, but certain players (HBA, Shola, Cabaye) let us down massively.

He has beaten Obertan and Perch. Congrats.

I doubt it. He's never looked good enough to play in the top flight when I've seen him. Being the best keeper in SPL at such a young age does shows that he has some quality. Judge him just base on a few pre-season matches is quite unfair. The point is, while Forster seems like to be a "good" keeper in the future, Krul is showing signs of being a "great" keeper NOW. Very, very unlucky for Forster.

We miss Jose because of Simpson, not Santon.

He could be our long term no.1, if Krul didn't join us 4 years ago. Sorry but that's life.

That's apparently 60m. wow.

Pretty sure the only one will regret, if mournho and real Madrid separated, is real Madrid.

Raylor is doing well in centre, not great but definitely better than Perch

Life is so much better without you, Andy.

ok, i admit i didn't follow German League. Is this guy rlly that good? What is his strength and weakness?

I didnt expect him to be that good. Jose will not be missed. In fact i think we picked up the best option in the market. What a bargain

Gervinho again.

Swansea's 2nd goal against Arsenal is exactly what HBA may cost us. I am 100% backing him to be our starting 11 but I do understand Pardew's concern.

He had to bear most of the blame, not for the departure, but for his progress at Liverpool. I mean, seriously, the club paid 35m for you, everyone expect you to be a world-beater for that price tag. What you MUST do is to abolish all your shit habits and training all your skills and physiques up like C Ronaldo (he is a model professional in this way). Yes Carroll is less talented, but at least you have to show your attitude by "giving something else" for the crowd to see and support you. No one in the world could accept such a expensive buy performing even worse than before. No one.
