Has to be said, Ba looks dynamite in the supporting striker role. It's a partner/upgrade on Shola/Best we need.

 

Pardew said he saw him as more of a supporting striker a while back. Just have to hope Ben Arfa gets a chance on the wing, as Ba is more dangerous in this role.

Good half. Ba has been superb yet again, not only the goal but dropping deep to pick up the ball, helping out the midfield and forming the attacks. Centre midfield pair have been on it, and Colo's been Colo.

Santon is brilliant. The way he turns infield and is willing to run at players is brilliant. He's still learning defensively/positionally as has been evinced a few times, but worth a few mistakes learning in the starting team IMO.

Did Pards "get it right"? Or is he still making too many mistakes?

 

Think he's got it spot on, level has been lifted all over the park - the midfield duo have been fantastic - set the level for everyone else.

I've NEVER heard anyone say this feed the sheep thing.

 

This is really fucking annoying me...they've like pulled the worst fucking shitest fucking wankest thing out of their tiny clouded minds and made out like its fact...out of touch biased cunts get upto speed you bunch of mongs.

 

Santon has made a huge difference, Sholas looked lost except for his knockon to Ba which was an accident.

The 11 men of Newcastle United took a well deserved lead against the 12 men of Man U. One of their players, oddly standing out in a blue shirt, seemed intent on stopping the game in their favour at every opportunity - but rarely in Newcastle's.

 

Seriously poor reffing, incredibly biased & stone-wall penalty.

 

Ben Arfa on for Shola - but then less likely to control any long balls. Dilema. Hope we can keep it up. (We'd have beat Liverpool playing like this!)

Based on that half I would definitely agree. Imagine having a striker nearly as good as Ba paired with him. And then when Pardew is comfortable that Santon can handle things on the left he puts HBA on the wing. :fwap:
