Dave Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 First half could of gone either way, we bossed the second half and deservedly scored then continued to dominate. Don't know where 5 mins extra time came from but Sunderland scored. I would of took a draw before the game but gutted with one now. have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Anyone else think 5mins of added time was way too much? Up to that point there was 1 goal and Ferdinands injury (which happened at the time of the goal anyway). Where did the rest come from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm gutted but I'm annoyed about it. I should be happy with this result but we were so close to another 3 points. We would have been 7th I htink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 First of all I would like to thank Alan Smith for taking an injury just so we could play better. Absolutely gutted about the score though, fucking Ameobi, had a few chances to kill the game for us, one chance he had Barton and Lovenkrands to pass to and what does he do passes it behind Lovenkrands. Collocini, Enrique and Williamson were bloody immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Massive mistake from Harper to cost us the 3 points. He went down really slowly like a tree being felled and then palmed the ball out into the centre of the five yard box when he could have held onto it. Disappointing. Massively harsh that. How? You were watching in slow-motion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayno Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Harper 7.5 Unlucky with the goal and was solid throughout. Enrique 8.5 Was very strong defensively and throughout the game played some good balls to the forwards. Should have passed the chance he had to the player waiting in the middle. Coloccini 9.5 Was just that good. Won header after header and intercepted countless plays. Nearly scored a goal at the start as well. Williamson 7.5 Looked poor for the first 1/2 hour but calmed down thanks to Colo. Lost the ball a few times throughout the match but we were never punished. Was good in the air Simpson 7 Nothing of note but was rarely tested. Didn't contribute much going forward and did turnover the ball too much. Helped by Barton alot Jonas 7 Decent shift. Delivery in the final third was at a low standard. Perhaps shouldn't have subbed off for Gosling... Nolan 7.5 Scored another hugely important goal but i didn't see to much of him otherwise. Always composed when he got the ball. Smith 6.5 Didn't get much time on the field but did mess up a few passes while on the field. Barton 7.5 Superb ball for Ameobi's early chance. Faded after a strong start but his set pieces were very good. Strong in possession and won a few 50/50's and was solid defensively. Ameobi 7 Messed up a superb chance early on that would have put us in a strong position. Worked hard throughout and won the header which Nolan turned home. Best 6.5 Couldn't get a touch in the first half. Was found more often in the second. Guthrie 7 Didn't start well but was better as the game went on. Fought well in the second getting a few important touches and for the most part contained Sunderland's midfield. Lovenkrands and Gosling. Good to see Gosling come on but perhaps two pointless subs added the time on that gave Sunderland time to score? Hard to criticise Pards for that though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That move started because Gosling was caught like a rabbit in the headlines on the left wing. aye, at the time i thought that was fucking stupid by him, though you can't blame him for the goal as he lost it far up the pitch. probably shows how far from genuine match fitness he is. I would have said it was more about having a central midfielder playing as a putative left midfielder - would have preferred to see McLoven out wide, Shola up top by himself and three in the middle to close up shop. But it's easy to be an armchair coach :s Gutting to concede an equaliser like that, but we have to be happy not losing - and taking away the emotion of the derby we went to the 6th placed team and came away with a point. Harper - 7 Simpson - 7 Coloccini - 10 Williamson - 8 Enrique - 9 Gutierrez - 7 Nolan - 7 Smith - 5 Barton - 8 Ameobi - 8 (ranging from 6 to 10) Best - 7 Guthrie - 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KeithKettleborough Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Stupid substitution from Pardue again. 1-0 in front and you take off a player who can probably keep the ball and waste more time than a substitution would waste and replace him with someone who hasn't kicked a ball for us. Did well to get the team into a winning position but stupid decision I feel cost us the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Harper 7.5 - One really good save, organised and communicated with the backline well. A little unfortunate with the goal. Enrique 9 - Ridiclously good. Had the whole stadium in his back pocket. MOTM x 1000. Colo 9 - Outstanding Williamson 7.5 - Tentative opening, but immense thereafter. Simpson 7 - Decent game, caught out of position once or twice. Gutierrez 8 - Really good running and delivery today - even though little came of it. Crucial in keeping them on the backfoot. Nolan 7.5 - Tactically very important, good leadership, endeavour and strength. Smith 6.5 - Solid (and not just by his standards) but wasteful with possession at times. Barton 8 - Strong game, always problematic for them. Got the better of Malbranque. Ameobi 8.5 - He loves the derby games, this guy! Fantastic performance. Treat yourself to an apple, my son. Best 6.5 - Anonymous first half, no real intent to impose himself onto the game (service or not). Improvement in the second half but didn't look very alert/alive to balls which I think Ranger might have done better with. Subs: Guthrie 6.5 - Had a few very shaky moments, but not entirely too shabby. Certainly an improvement on last time out for him at the very least.

Yorkie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Harper - 7. Comfortable performance aside from the mistake in injury time. Simpson - 7. Good game. Williamson - 7. Started shaky but grew into it. Coloccini - 10. One of the best CB performances i've ever seen from a Newcastle player. Enrique - 8. Great going forward and had Gyan in his back pocket for 94 minutes. Barton - 8. Another assist and worked tirelessly all game long. Nolan - 7. Drifted in and out, good finish. Smith - 3. Woeful. (Guthrie) - 6. Thought he did okay in the second half. Jonas - 7. Dangerous but wasteful. Ad infinitum. Ameobi - 6. Played a huge part in the goal but thought he was a bit naff for large parts of the game. Best - 6. Anonymous from an in-the-box perspective but won a lot of headers.
