Newcastle United 2 - 0 Aston Villa - 03/11/08 - Post match joy from page 18

We've wasted some good situations. It's a matter of having a bit more confidence in the final third.

 

We do need to score because our defence is so shaky. It doesn't take a particularly good ball to expose us.

Interested to see how they come out in the second half. Always seem to go really defensive and give up goals.

 

It's a lack of fitness really. Our attacking players aren't fit enough to keep up the pace (Oba, Shola, Jonas, Barton) so we end up being very passive in the second period.

 

Oba at least looks much more fit than he was in the last few games today, so hopefully he'll keep it up for 90 minutes.

Quite happy with that first half, tbh. Defending well and our passing has been better than of late. Barton is dominating in midfield, even though he has given the ball away a couple of times. Neither Jonas or Duff has really got going yet. Beye has been class, both defensively and going forward, while Enrique has been solid in defence, but not offered much offensively. Martins is looking a bit better than of late too, IMO.

Enrique rapes Milner repeatedly so he switches to the left, where he can be raped by Beye instead.

 

:lol: noticed that too. It's like they know both his moves.

 

Who doesn't? Step overs until he loses the ball or crosses it over the byline

How are Tyalor and Colo shaping up?? are they looking like a tighter unit ?

 

Taylor is getting tighter to his man - he seems to be following Kinnear's advice there. We're getting hammered down our left though.
