Jonas's creativity has been a pleasant surprise in the last two matches. It is interesting what he is capable of when he isn't our only outlet from defence/constantly followed by two defenders/spending 70 percent of his time hovering around left back position.

 

I've always said his intelligence is underrated and that he's a player who'd flourish a bit more in a side with more intelligent movement.

 

So true.

Not saying he's Riquelme or owt like but I actually think that side of his game is stronger than his 'traditional wing play'.

Definitely, said it god knows how many times. His link up play and 'intelligence' is wildly underrated.

Just got in. Absolutely fantastic win - it was vital we got three points today and for once, we delivered.

 

The play in the first half was something else - probably the best I've seen us play under Pardew. We played short and simple and on the floor - it was beautiful to witness :smitten:

 

The start of the second half was scary. One mistake from Williamson (who I thought was alright apart from headering out of Krul's hands) and we looked set to crumble Fulham style. We held on though, and eventually got the game down to our pace and comfortably saw it out I thought.

 

Perch was brilliant again, Jonas suited sitting infront of the back four surprisingly well, HBA looked like he'd score/threaten every time he went forward - the WBA defenders were shitting themselves. His run in the second half would have been goal of the century :lol: The subs were decent too, I thought and helped us see out the game. As always, the atmosphere was class and their fans were pretty s*** on the whole.

 

Overall, I'm bloody delighted. Howay the lads :celb:

Superb display, excellent on the counter attack, we looked dangerous every time we went forward. Ben Arfa had his best game in a Newcastle shirt, if he is able to play like that on a regular basis then he'll win games for us by himself. Ba put in a shift that will be overshadowed by Cisse's double, but the front three are working brilliantly together. Cabaye was tireless and Jonas' run of good form continues. Perch's renaissance is a joy to behold, and while Coloccini's injury is a worry, I think we can overcome it, especially if Tiote returns to the side.

 

We did what we had to do in the second half, but all in all we were a pleasure to watch. Somewhere up there Sir Bobby was smiling today.
