Hmmm, not sure. In the space of a week our midfield has improved a great deal, not to say that it's overly good, but we're not getting overrun. It' also good to see Keegan not playing the likes of Smith and Duff for the sake of it.
I have to feel though that the return of Viduka has something to do with the improvement. I'm not a massive fan of him, especially his attitude, but you can't really argue his quality on the ball.
Viduka was on Radio Newcastle before the game saying he tries not to watch football in his free time. Seems like he's not exactly that taken with his profession.
