Newcastle United 3-0 Swansea City - 28/11/09 - post match reaction from page 11


Recommended Posts

Got very sloppy second half, 3-0 flattered them after 35 minutes but us at full time. Harper and Krul have had to make at least two brilliant saves each and they had two or three somehow cleared off the line. They were 4th going into the game though to be fair and you can't knock a 3-0 win. We played some excellent stuff in the opening stages, wish we'd given them a real pasting though.

I was pleased with the sponsors getting the MOTM correct for a change. Coloccini a total cut above, you knew the Swansea attack was over when the ball went anywhere near him.

 

This. He was immense today, like. When he played that back heel off their player by the Leazes I was creased.

 

It was fucking cold today, like. I was bored shitless during the second half. Would have went home a lot happier if Smith or Ranger had put their chances away. Doesn't feel like we've just beaten a fourth placed team by three goals.

Looks to have a bit pace about him and got his head up well to set up Smith. Looked eager to impress, too. Hope he does well.

I'm pleased as well because like Enrique who also got stick early on, it's clear that Colo has some great defensive qualities. If we get promoted and don't sell him he's one of the few in this squad with the class to step up.

First half, we were excellent. We moved the ball around well, with everything going down the left hand side, via Jose and Jonas. The former was his usual superb self throughout. Three good goals inside 28mins and it was game over. What a pity we took our foot off the gas in the 2nd half, and that is what is so annoying about us at present. Today was an opportunity (like the Peterborough game) to hand out a hammering. Instead we chose to sit back content with what we had. Not sure if that is the players themselves doing that, or being under instructions from Hughton. Either way, got to be happy with the win and moving further clear of the chasing pack.

 

Swansea fans were very disappointing and only began singing during the 2nd half. Expected a bit more from them, if I'm honest. Good atmosphere up in the singing corner, as always. Liked the banner that read 'Ashley - hows the fraud investigation going?' that was hung up before KO. :D

Thought Enrique was average today tbh, gave the ball away far too much for my liking
