alexf Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 There making good points on radio newcastle to be fair. Obertan's confidence is shot and he would be far better off coming on for a few cameos with his pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just got in myself. All in all, a deserved result for us considering how much better our attacking play was compared to Blackburn's. Kean's tactics were plain awful really (most noticeably, he got their keeper to aim his kicks to their left hand side which ultimately came to nothing). We started well in the first half, played some good football but lacked that cutting edge really. When Blackburn scored, they did start to get into the game more tbh such as a couple of shots here and there but that was it really. Obertan was frustrating and s****, he had so many occasions to cross the ball in first time but for some reason, he felt it was more appropriate to beat the man more than once. This ultimately led us to lose possession. CROSS THE BALL MAN! The game changed when we brought Shola on for Obertan and moved Ben Arfa to the right wing. Hatem was more influential from the wing than in the number 10 role he played in in the first half (though Ben Arfa did have a decent enough first half too imo). His goal was fwap-worthy really - he got the ball on the right and basically waltzed through the Blackburn defence to get into the box, he kept the ball effectively away from three/four Blackburn players and then scored. Great solo effort. Shola coming on changed us too. Some good touches here and there from the big man (though an absolutely terrible shot when he got the ball from Cabaye). Best, some decent hold up play here and there and improved a bit when Shola came on. A special mention to Abeid who I thought had a good game/debut, some good strength/hold up play in the middle and some decent, simple passing. Promising. Jonas looked like his old self in the second half too. Nice. 4th Round here we come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 having listened to the abject commentary on radio tyneside, i couldn't help wondering who on earth i was listening to spouting such inconsequential guff. i happened upon the meet the team page on their website, and was impressed to find myself confronted with some of the ugliest, f***ed up and mad heads ever seen outside an obertan family reunion. Didn't realise you were a fucking beauty pageant winner like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Really enjoyable game today, we should have hammered them like, but worth it in the end. Special shouts to Santon and HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some good performances from Santon, Ben Arfa, Colo (as usual), Shola did well when he came on; Best was a disappointment (needs to stop moaning at others as well) and Obertan was poor (although the crowd were pathetic regarding him).

Newcastle Fan Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Only a matter of time before Willo scores for us It was frustrating today, he two good chances, the first was headed too high and the 2nd was much easier and he headed it down at the keepers fees.
