Couple of things I learned while out there
- Geordies love quilted jackets
- The Geordie accent sounds remarkably similar to Flemish
- I can't handle 8.5% beers
For all our centre midfield options we've got nobody apart from Cabaye who I'd call a forward thinking ball player, we lack a decent back up who's comfortable on the ball.
We looked the most comfortable we'd done all half when they scored, we'd generally moved up the pitch 10 yards or so and were having a decent amount of the ball.
His poor form is exacerbated by the lack of movement around him. Feel for him because he's just not getting anything like decent service. It's frustrating because Ba is so much better at the wide left role, Cisse just isn't as good a footballer.
Thought it was touch and go, another ref would've given him yellow. Just a shame we had a complete moron in charge. Tiote really needs to channel his aggression better though, the decision shouldn't have needed to be made in the first place. Cost us two certain points.
