If you can cope with Drogba, you should be able to cope with Ameobi.

Ha, clearly has no idea that Shola will randomly look unplayable or be an absolute force when called upon.

 

Before the match, I told my liverpool supporting friend that this would be the game that we see Shola batter them as this clearly would be a game that we would all be upset he start, and he actually produce.

 

Well, say what you want but I thought he was brilliant and did everything we asked of him.

According to this link Williamson won every 50/50, aerial duel and tackle. Pretty impressive given the general consensus is that the top 4 performers were Colo, Tiote, Cabaye and Ba.

The final sentence cracked me up. :lol: Jones really did have a horrible game, I didn't realise that he helped us for all three of our goals. Them stats just show how much we dominated them aswell.

Oh man, I really really wish I was there at the match. The atmosphere sounded exceptional. What i liked most was that we didn't win via smash and grab - we completely annihilated them from start to finish. I doubt i'll ever see us play better than that, it was near perfection. I've even used the Chronicle front cover as a poster on my wall ;D

 

Don't care if it makes us sound 'small time' - I really hope the club releases this as a DVD.

I don't remember Taylor making one chance.

 

Glad the article was well received, as I wrote it :D

 

As for Taylor creating chances - 2 were from open play, 1 from a corner.

 

18th min - Attempt blocked. Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle United) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Assisted by Ryan Taylor.

55th min - Attempt missed. Michael Williamson (Newcastle United) header from very close range is too high. Assisted by Ryan Taylor with a cross following a corner.

72nd min - Attempt missed. Demba Ba (Newcastle United) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Ryan Taylor with a cross.
