Newcastle United 5 - 1 Cardiff City - 05/02/10 - post match reaction from p22


Recommended Posts

Just got in - totally unreal evening :lol:

 

It just goes to show the potential that this team has - we should be playing like that every week.

 

Harper - 7 - Hardly had owt to do, when called upon though was spot on as always.

 

Simpson - 8 - A very very good show from him - one the best displays I've seen from him in a B&W shirt - pinpoint perfect assist for Carroll's second.

Williamson - 8 - On top as always, turning out to be a very shrewd signing

Hall - 7 - Solid debut, he's a f***ing beast like :lol:

Van Aaholt - 7 - Once again, good going forward, a bit shaky at the back - Is very quickly forging a good relationship with Jonas though.

 

Routledge - 8 - His crossing is still bloody sweet, his passing equally so - needs to work on his finishing though. When he fell down and still managed the skill to get it past the defender :lol:

Nolan - 8 - A real captain's performance. Constantly talking to the other players, working out positioning, tell them to push forward etc. and he actually played well too - won challenges, passed to our men, had a few chances, set up a few attacks - really impressed me - by his standards, one of his best games.

Guthrie 7 - Good to see him get a run out in the centre. His cross-field passing was woeful, but the shorter stuff was impressive.

Jonas - 8 - Absolutely worked his socks off - look knackered when he went off. Determined, tracked back well, his passing and running were spot on.

 

Carroll - 8 - Took his two goals very well, as well as the own goal as well. How he didn't score a hattrick with the couple of chances he had in the last 10 mins.

Best - 7 - Not spectacular, but a very comfortable debut. Can hold the ball up well, his positioning is good as is his passing. The finishing is a bit questionable like.

 

Lovenkrands - 8 - Took his two goals well, the man is just a goal machine at times! Very intelligent play, his movement and running is very good. He's a definite starter for me like.

Taylor - Nothing of note really

 

Fans - 44k for a Friday league match is brilliant. Hats off to everyone who made the trip to the match, the atmosphere was a bit flat at first but picked up in the second half - got back to the noise of old after goal no.4 - had shivers during a course of Blaydon Races after Loven netted. Highlights of the chants "England, England...." and "Stand up for the sheep shaggers" :lol:

 

Hughton  - 7 - Injuries or not, hats off for playing two proper wingers and Guthrie - Nolan together. Also, very suprised that Lovenkrands came on when he did - very positive change.

 

Oh, and it was good to have a ref that wasn't completely hell bent on ruining our chances.

 

HOWAY 5-1!  :clap2:

 

Spot on the whole lot. I found it very difficult to rate our individuals tonight.

 

They have done themselves proud.

At the end of the day:

 

4-4-2

2 natural wingers

No defensive midfielders

 

There should be no fucking surprise as to how well we played, please stick with this Hughton!

 

All in all though I'm absolutely over the moon :celb:

 

Routledge was worth signing purely for the party tricks  O0

The lad in front of me got banned for 2 years tonight for headbutting another Newcastle fan and putting him on his arse. The reason for it? The headbutter's mate pushed into the queue to get into level 7 and the lad who was headbutted took exception to it and all shit kicked off. Stupid man.

This will probably be labelled as being fickle and knee-jerk but they really did.

 

Noone's getting carried away, but they stepped up a gear and really put on a really good show. It showed that they DO have the ability to play and they DO have the passion and determination to actually thump a side.

 

At 3-0, we brough on Loven for Best - what a positive change for a team that usually backs off and grinds out a game.

 

Some were more shaky than others, but every single one of them put on a performance that they can come out of with their heads held high - a big two fingers up to the rest of the division.

 

As someone who went to the Derby game after Xmas and the Palace game last week, that is easily the most enjoyable game that I've experienced in a long while. It's not often I come out of SJP with a smile on my face.

 

Let's just hope they can actually do it again :thup:

Amazing night. Most ive enjoyed a game of football for a good good while. Great atmosphere too.

 

Level 7 has got to the point now where they can easily match the away fans. The Cardiff fans were owned tonight!  :lol:

 

Funny as when they unfurled a Welsh flag and we were all singing "What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fucking hell is that!" They didn't seem to like that much  :lol:

Jonas was mint tonight when we had a man hacked down and the ref refused to give a freekick, he ran rings around them before giving the ball up to be kicked out of play. Been a long time since we could cheer us keeping possesion with one touch passing. Best game this season and not just because of the scoreline.

What a night. Havent sung and danced at a game so much for ages. 3-0 up after 15mins WTF??? Carroll's goals and post shot was excellent striker play, Lovenkrands was just amazing - got to start every game if fit imo. Best song of the night was the 'We don't care about Ashley, We don't care about me, All we care about .........is NUFC' fucking class especially when sang for about 5 minutes solid and getting louder and louder as more people grasped the words. O0.

 

Jonas got a great applause when substituted and thought Harper pulled off some great saves. Credit to Hughton on the new signings, Williamson looks like a great signing, along with Routledge who put in some great crosses. Had to laugh at the hundreds of people taking their seats after we had already banged 2 goals in, bet they arent that late again :snod:  

 

If people want to leave before the final whistle then fair enuff, thats their choice but what does fuck me off is when they stand at the front ont he concourse so no fucker behind them can see, if your going to watch the game stay in your seat or get down those bastard stairs :angry:

Well that was a nice experience. Attacking line-up, 2 wingers, 2 forwards, no Smith, no Butt and after 15 mins the game was won.

 

We should probably have scored more tbh but 5-1 was far more than I was expecting. Well done to everyone. :)
