I agree. Pearson has his work cut out. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa sharrrrrrap!

Oooooops ...

All these Italian teams are pretty pathetic. Just a team of old men with no pace or athleticism. Just sit behind the ball all game. Crap.

Agree completely. Looks an intelligent player too which always bodes well, especially considering his overall physical attributes. He could definitely be a bit more forward minded at times, but that is a much easier problem to fix. Really like the look of him, has a bit of class about him. I disagree completely with someone who said he looked a typical Allardyce player. Didn't agree with that at all.

Commentators mentioned that he was at the game, yes.

I actually thought Ngo Baheng looked tidy and intelligent whenever he got the ball at his feet, but the attacking support around him wasn't that great. I thought Ngo baheng was supposed to be 6 foot 2 or something? Only looks about 5 foot 10 or 6 foot at the most though. Kadar looks like he could step into our first team at left back straight away and Edgar looks like a real leader and has a ton of composure. I really enjoyed watching that, probably the most entertaining Newcastle game this season.

It's been a long time since I have watched a Newcastle game and been so relaxed about it. Simply just enjoying the football being played tonight. No concerns about the manager, the chairman, the fans, the idiot pundits, the press, the crap football, Alan Smith, etc. Pretty depressing I really hope we stay up and get things right this summer.

No, still 0 - 0.

I think overall these young guys just seem to be a lot more comfortable with the ball at their feet.

Just caught a bit of this ... I actually think these lot would beat the team we sent out while the Africans were away.

FYP!

Arsenal? No place? False. I predict that in about 8 - 10 years time around 60% of the England team will be Arsenal players. Have you seen their teams from 18 below? The English kids that have been there from the age of 9 under the Wenger regime? England will have a lot to thank Wenger for in the near future. You only have to look at how someone like Bentley is faring right now. We really have to sort ourselves out as a club in this respect. One of the reasons I was particularly happy about the new setup we have.

Hmmmm ... Looking abroad but only wants players he has seen himself. I hope he watched a lot of european football during his time off as there are quite a few decent players that have come around since he last managed. Recruitment is going to be a real pain this summer especially with the Euros getting in the way. I hope this won't be another summer of scouting players at the tournament before rushing things at the last minute.

The dilly dally man trying to compensate for his lack of pace on the pitch. Twat.

Alrighty then ... this isn't too great now is it! Here is a positive outlook though. If Keegan is happy with the strikers, but not happy about our posession or the chances we are creating, then this can only mean he isn't happy with the midfield. If this article means he changes the midfield around then I will be happy. Zoggy - left wing. Emre and Faye - Centre midfield. Milner - right wing. If he does this and keeps alan Smith upfornt I will be able to stomach it. Surely this would be better than keeping the midfield as it is now and replacing Smith with Viduka, which won't make a bit of difference. Alas, changing the midfield as well as replacing Smith appears to be beyond our manager, therefore the former would be preferred out of the two options.

Why. So Carr doesn't have to play. Geremi, Faye, Cacapa and Beye vs Man Utd. is our best chance of doing any defending in that game. Is Enrique injured? He might be, i've only just got in - i haven't read anything today... I thought he was still injured. You didn't, you just forgot about him, let's be honest here. Maybe ...

Geremi at right back and Beye at left back next game? Geremi's looked really good in the tournament playing at right back.

Suspended. I can't remember him playing in a while now. Has he been injured recently also? Since he came back from the metatarsal injury?

Where the hell is Xabi Alonso???!!! We need to be having a serious snoop around Alonso's situation this summer. If we show enough ambition with other signings etc. we might be able to get him in.

Remember when Sven was a clown? Decked Man Utd twice this season.

I hate how new managers come in and feel they can get the best out of the same idiots who have been letting us down for ages now.

Just watched the highlights again. So why exactly are our defenders, THAT WOULD BE YOU TAYLOR, standing inside the goal while Villa players are free to send the ball back into the box from the edge of the area? What kind of defender stands inside the goal post? Apretty shit one is the answer.
