Mike

I'm hoping he does well at the Nations Cup just so we can figure out how to deliver the fucking ball to him.

What about Butt? I missed the first twenty or so, but I haven't seen much from him. Nzogbia looked good running through the middle shadowing Duff though. City should be a man down though.

Opinions on Martins?

How many goals has Defoe scored since Ramos came in?

Cahill 1-0

Faye, Beye and Zoggy were outstanding. Zoggy nailed on to be back at LB next match.

Ugh

Fucking linesman

Damn!

Ok, so it's been proven that N'zogbia is more effective as a Left midfield player. Will this spell the end of that experiment? Does Enrique get a run out now?

Great save from Shay, Zoggy ballwatching, dying to attack instead of defend.

Butt. Good goal. Move Nzogbia forward!

Herm Edwards for the toon. No timeouts to worry about, no running backs to destroy. He'll just spout motivational nonsense and stare into space hoping that the players see the brilliance on their own. "You play to win the game...*looks down at "So you're in England?!" handbook*...lads!"

No subs to be made, right? Honestly, Newcastle fans get a bad wrap. It's impossible to support a team that hasn't won the premiership since Hitler was a one nut fairy selling bad watercolors on the corners of Berlin and be impatient. If what we saw on the pitch made a lick of sense, we'd gladly wait in anticipation for the day that it clicked. But you sit and stare at N'zogbia, who could be bitten by a vampire and live for 1000 more years and still never be a LB, and Smith, who apparently has no role and no idea where he should be. Seeing things that refuse to work being used game after game after game tends to drive one mad.

Martins is surrounded by defenders. Anything he could pull off in those situations would be amazing. Which has me wondering what Smith is supposed to be doing.

What is Smith supposed to be doing? Is he a forward today?

Main thing that bothers me about the man.

Instant contribution when Zog goes forward. I wish I understood what was going on with him.

They can't attack down our right, Beye is up for it. Hey, Smith is out there!

Beye again our best player. Faye a close second?

Taylor trying to control rather than clear the fucker.

Let Solano take this...ah shit.

Mikel deftly navigates the cone obstacle course and sends a decent shot in.

Attacking down our left appears to be a priority.
