If Colo is back, would be tempted to play M'biwa at full back with Taylor and Colo in the centre.

I think the problem in the first half was more the final ball rather than not attacking them. We often got the ball into wide positions well but the final cross was terrible, even cabaye was un-characteristicly smashing the ball out of play.

Marveaux and Ben Arfa to come on and run and tired legs!

I'm still not convinced that he is certain to leave this summer. If the club were unwilling to let an asset leave for free in January, whose to say they are going to allow it in the summer. He has the summer break to go and sort out whatever issues he may have and unless another club is willing to stump up enough cash he will remain under contract at Newcastle.

Looks like we've got a high defensive line, helping us press further up!

Plenty of pace on the wings for the counter

Any idea how much tickets will be?

I thought he generally played well last night, came out for crosses and corners well and showed good hands when challenged in the air. Also made some good saves, especially for Baines' first free kick.

Probably the only reason Pardew took off Jonas is so that he doesn't get a yellow before the next match

At least the ball is being passed along the floor mainly so far. Frustrating how much it slows down with Jonas, he has no forward drive. Cisse is obviously not a right winger. Anita need to assert himself a bit more, some good touches but not enough influence.

Reckon we need a bit of Sammy for Ferguson now

Disgraceful fouls going unnoticed by the ref, something not right here

The ref, and the commentator, are absolutely ridiculously massive bellends

Santon has had a really good game at right back today

Terrible start but plenty of encouraging play since then

Lets get one before half-time!

How many has it been since Ramadam?

I reckon Perch would come in for Colo before Williamson, much more composed. Whereas if Taylor got injured it would be Williamson for his height/strength.

If it is serious, could it trigger extra impetus for pushing through a Debuchy transfer?

Knee injuries can be so deceptive upon viewing, can have no idea of how bad until the scan happens

African nations though, we would be missing our 3 main forwards!

Assuming that figure is in Euros, it should be around £7million, cant see us going any higher

There's not really any exposure of the Australian football over here, so you have to admit that it's good scouting by Carr!

Hope he is Good enough to break into the first team then!

Anyone know how Good this guy is?
