Steady on lad, 30 maybe

BetterCallSaul

Delighted for Cisse, he hasn't been getting much luck lately.

We better not sit back now.

Duff

Shearer vs. Everton-esque. Love it. Hopefully it'll give his confidence the boost it needs.

That_Guy

Shaky opening 10 mins of the game but we've come back into it. Tiote's been all over the pitch. Doing very well thus far which means he'll get sent off in the second half.

M5

Wonder if Pads will work his half time magic again?

Moneymaker

What is it with us and defending leads...

M5

Garbage

Moneymaker

Where on earth was Santon there??

Duff

Here we go..second half syndrome.

M5

Shout be 3:2

bazual

Shocking from Santon for the equalizer. What was he thinking???

M5

Ah ffs. Wake up

Duff

Fúck sake, just sitting back inviting them to shoot.

Moneymaker

I'm honestly baffled by this team and what happens after half time. Time after time this is happening and it's cost us dearly so many times.

to be fair in the past we have come out rubbish in the second half but today is purely a result of the conceded goal and Santon's muppetry. I thought we were fine in the first few minutes leading up to the goal.

M5

Cabaye and Jonas have been quiet today

M5

Harsh penalty. Third time it happened though...

BetterCallSaul

3-2

bazual

Penalty, come on Cabaye

cadete

hopefully we dont start dropping deep now, need to keep attacking them go for 4

Duff

Can we please put this to bed now?!

Moneymaker

Stop. Sitting. So. Deep.

bazual

Cabaye looking tired. I would bring on Perch. We are naturally gonna start going backwards now as per usual. Could take Cisse off too and either bring Shola on to hold up ball or defend using his height or Obertan for the breakaway counter.

M5

Lols

Moneymaker

LOL!

BetterCallSaul

4-2

bazual

Santon redeeming himself a bit with that assist.

Duff

Take that.

bazual

By far Debuchy's best game for us, he has been immense today, motm for me. Followed closely by Mr T.

Elliott had a good game too. Perhaps suspect for the first though

BetterCallSaul

And above Sunderland we go

Up in the dizzy heights of 14th :pac:

Duff

We'll be getting a nose bleed being up this high!

Natural balance in the universe again

Happy days, a Swansea win in the cup now and a week long hangover for their players would be nice.:D

That_Guy

Buzzing after that. Table looks a bit better after that.

Curtis Good playing for bradford aswell today

Hope they win it

Moneymaker

+1 on Debuchy, he was class.

Good to see Tiote have a better game today too, hopefully he turns it around after a totally abysmal first half of the season.

Where To

Debuchy was a class act, but he had great support from Jonas, Santon had no help from Gouffran on the left at all, left him very exposed, I'd rather see Gouffran through the middle when Ben Arfa is fit, Cisse, goal apart, was woeful yet again, never won a header all day and was so far offside half the time it was laughable.

Moneymaker

It's been pretty noticeable how exposed our left has been lately, Santon getting very little protection but he was atrocious for 2nd goal today, completely AWOL.

Hopefully it's something they'll work on.

bazual

Problem is if Jonas is dropped for HBA then there will be no cover for either full back. Jonas has to play left or right wing imo. When HBA is back I really think Jonas will be switched to the left and Gouffran dropped and tbf its the right thing to do. The problem then is HBA will probably not track back much and Debuchy will be left with no protection.

As for Cissé, again can not do the simple things and scores a screamer. Hopefully its just a confidence thing but how many times have we said this about him all season and he scores a goal and then misses a handful. Needs to start scoring more and seriously work on that first touch.

Ben Arfa's work rate has noticeably improved though.

And yeah from Cisse's reaction you could tell that goal meant a lot to him. His effort can't be faulted and he's had some downright atrocious luck at times. I still have faith in him, regardless of the goal today.

TaosHum

Delighted with the win yesterday. The first ten minutes of either half were very shakey, but the team was able to get to grips each time. Was a very good win considering a few of those players played in Ukraine on Thursday.

Means Newcastle can seriously have a go at the Europa League now, as we should have the firepower to collect 10 points from 11 games remaining (with our run in not including many teams in the top 6).

Moneymaker

M5

HBA has been offered a contract extension according to several sources. Lots of paper talk about an approach from Liverpool in January and further rumours of a solid move in the summer. Long contract will nip that in the bud

Vurnon San Benito

Had a chat with James Perch today, nice fella. Extremely happy at NUFC as well, plus he loves his nickname!

Moneymaker

I'd love to be called Perchinio ^^

James Perchanbauer and the Mansfield Zanetti are pretty great too.

Anoeta

Ridiculous goal from Cisse at the weekend. His earlier cock up and then his goal, completely sums him up as a player.
