We're playing so shit now, cant hit passes, no movement.

Shola had a good game against city, but the big question is: Can he have 2 good games in a row?

I second that

Think Barton will be put on the right instead of Guthrie. Didnt Barton play against Arsenal on the right side? I just hope Barton, and Gutierrez starts

N'zogbia vs Boro last season? Reminds me about the fact that we almost never score from outside the box anymore.. We hardly shoot on goal outside the box. Its only geremi from freekicks who shoot on goal, and its either 2 meter over goal, or he tries to chip it in from 30 meters.

Match over then....

Geremi should be allowed to take corners or free kicks. Cant understand why he suck so badly on free kicks and corners, when he is so good at crossing the ball in play. Guthrie should take the corners. Is Barton any good on corners and free kicks?

How long is left of shola's contract?

Taylor was maybe our man of the match last game. I think when people are playing good they should get the chance to defend their place in the team.

Has any of you seen this guy play, and how good is he?

Brilliant is a bit strong mind you. He was good going forward, and obviously did well with his goal and the assist but defensively he is still piss poor. Saying that, its about time the lad had a canny game because he has been s*** so far this season. The two first games of the season he was good. He had a good game against man utd, and was rated by some newspapers as MOM against Bolton, imo he did a good job yesterday. Most of our players has been shit since keegan left, its a bit harsh to blame it all on Taylor.

First of all Butt needs dicipline. You dont go into a sliding tackle inside your own penalty box unless you know u get the ball. He often breaking up our midfield line when he run on their defenders to get the ball(this is our strikers job). As a dmc he should be waiting atleast till they get over the midfield circle before he starts to chase the ball, you dont see the likes of Mascherano, Essien, Carrick running of like that on their own. Butt gives away the ball to much when he is playing short passes, maybe thats the reason why he so often try to hit the long ball. We should have gone for makelele in the transfer window, he would have been an excellent mentor for Guthrie who i believe can fill the dmc role in the future or even now since Butt is looking slower by each game. Where are our young players? Dont we have any talented players who can fill the mc spott when all our mc's are injured? If we are going to get back into top 7, we need to adress the MC position.

I dont know, but it is something with barton that i like. He represent newcastle in so many ways...

We are looking more shitty than ever now...

O'Leary? Ohh thats a new low :-[

If u guys runned a club, would you pay 120k a week for a player that only played around 46 games since 2005.

AC Milan and Barca.

I say play an unfit Barton over Ameobi any day... I think we would have been better off playing 4-5-1 against Arsenal, defending and trying to counter attack.

We got smith and ameobi, are those two the most useless players in the premiership??

Ha shola ameobi ever been on form? If we dont get in 3-4 players then we can kiss the cups and top 10 finnish goodbye.

I just sow the match on TV. I must say Taylor looked absolutly brilliant and took the easy route many times, instead of trying to do a bramble. He looks more mature this season than he ever been. Coloccini was strugling a bit in the air, but like the commentators said how often did he play against a team like Bolton and Davies, all around he had a good match. I think Zoggy did a great job comming forward, and didnt make to many errors at the back either. Givens penalty save was AWESOME My biggest dissapointment of this match was Guthrie, he was so slow on the ball especially in the first half. He made some errors which made my think about Titus Bramble. I'm glad he did it against bolton and not man utd. I think he was trying to hard to impress his former teammates. Like ppl mention earlier, Martins must be in the box. His positioning needs to be worked at. Btw: Has Geremi gain a few pounds, he looked fat and slow today. It was a good result, but we need to pass the ball quicker than we did today. It was like the ball was always played behind the player, or to slow passes. We need to get the ball moving quicker to outplay shitty teams like Bolton. Owen and Given won us the game today.

He is a true legend.

Our goalies are top3 Our defence is top 10, because our central defenders are not good enough yet. Our Midfield(especially central midfield) are our weakest spot in the team right now. We need a good DMC(Butt is to old, dont even rate cacapa in this role), and a creative midfielder. Our forward line is top 6 when they are not injured, otherwise like top 10.

O'Brien could head a ball. http://www.motivate.maths.org/conferences/conf73/Images/Andy%20O%27Brien%2002.jpg

He's got all the speed of a lethargic tortoise. He's got the ability - but in slow motion. Do YOU watch the team ? give over mate, Cacapa isn't a bad defender by any means IMHO i think Cacapa is shite. He is to slow for the premiership, and Portsmouth new that. He is decent if we play Pubteams like Fulham, derby etc. btw: Brede is ok, nothing special... And Harry-Norway its enough with one ! instead of 20.
