Newcastle United 2 - 0 Bolton - 09/04/12 - post-match reaction from page 46


Recommended Posts

Just got back in, we were diabolical in the final third during the first half and majority of second.  I lost my voice over HBA's goal

 

Krul - 8.5 MOTM

Simpson 6.5

Willo 6.5

Collo 7.5

Santon 7

Perch 6

Cabaye 6.5

Jonas 6.5 (Should have not thrown a hissy fit, could have been worse on another day)

Ba 6

HBA 8

Cisse 8

 

Shola 7.5, Fergie 7, Raylor n/a

I couldn't understand why Jonas threw that hissy fit, it was a yellow card all day.

Krul 7 - nothing outstanding but made the saves he had to. Kicking dreadful as per

 

Simpson 5.5 - defensively suspect and wasteful with the ball, Bolton were too poor to really punish him. A real shame as he'd been coming into some form

Williamson 7 - steady once again, has his mojo back

Coloccini 7 - like he'd never been away. Not exactly given a massive test here

Santon 6.5 - steady enough, improved with Ferguson in front of him

 

Gutierrez 6 - mixed bag, sometimes wasteful and occasionally excellent. Worked hard

Perch 6 - not particularly terrible but it just wasn't the game for him, an out-and-out defensive midfielder wasn't really required

Cabaye 7 - industrious and good with the ball, kept us ticking over

 

Ben Arfa 8 - magic goal, he ran in a straight line from his own half to score :lol: economical with the ball too

Cisse 7 - classy touches as ever, good finish too. Seems to have learned at the Leon Best school of offsides, like

Ba 6.5 - worked hard but it didn't really happen for him, correctly replaced around the hour mark

 

Ferguson 7 - impressive, we looked much better with him on the left. Won a lot of corners, very tidy and energetic

Shola 7 - another nice cameo, did brilliantly to beat Wheater and cross for Papiss

R.Taylor 6 - saw the game out, one fantastic cross for Cisse at the end of the game

 

The referee was shocking today, dunno who he was but just like Chris Foy last season he allowed Bolton (Wheater in particular) to push, pull and foul our forwards all afternoon and awarded us the sum total of fuck all in return. I was genuinely shocked he didn't pull Shola back for a foul when he beat Wheater in the lead up to the second goal. There was an incredible moment in the first half where Wheater had both arms around Cisse's neck, pulled him to the ground then headed the ball away - the referee looked at it and waved his arms as if to say 'no foul'. Completely useless.

 

Pardew got his subs spot on, well done to him for realising we didn't really need Perch in the centre of the park and what we really did need was some proper width to stretch the game and give Hatem some more space to work his magic. Shola for Ba was at just the right time too, and I liked that he let Hatem have some applause for that terrific goal at the end.

His first foul I think and Petrov was unlikely to get the ball had he went down or not.

It was tough breaking Bolton down, as they put 10 men behind the ball for most of the match, but Ben Arfa's goal was worth the admission money alone. Can't wait to see how it looked on MOTD because it looked fucking awesome at the ground.
