Newcastle United vs. Manchester United

Nothing wrong with Ferdinand's positioning, we look really vulnerable aerially though.

I think that's why Ba and Ameobi are playing up front together. They've been dominating us in the air. I'm sure a few eyebrows were raised at the selection of Ameobi, but in all fairness to Pardew, he was spot on with the decision to start him.
 
Barcodes know how to defend when they need to.Going to be a long night.
 
Jones needs to learn the basics of defending if he's going to make a centre half.

He's been good for most of the game, Ameobi's good in the air to be fair but yes you need to win those.
 
we deserve to be down.

Rooney needs to earn his corn. Losing too many 50:50s and sloppy passing. Not impressed.
 
Our attacks are too flipping slow! and have been for weeks ffs.

That's the disadvantage of having players like Giggs and Berbatov in the team. Qlaity players, but they rely on slow and calculated build up, not speed.
 
Quicker Smalling comes back the better, need someone to dominate aerially.
 
What strikers have we got on the bench?

Rooney has been rubbish.
 
Silly?:rolleyes:

How is it silly you twat? Its 2 players coming together in the box and both falling down, exactly the same thing that happened last night. It doesnt have to be an exact copy of last night.
Sometimes you get a penalty sometimes you dont!

No need to start with name-calling because I didn't agree with you.

Last night Skrtel came from behind and clipped the back of Toure's foot. Rio and Ba got their legs tangled. I don't think it's the same in any way.

Not saying either was more or less of a penalty - I just don't think it was the same thing at all.
 
Need to rejig the side. nani + Park on wngs always ends in the same thing - too narrow.
 
Haven't seen anything from Berba since he hit the post. Thought I would see more of him since he was starting this game in front of Hernandez!
 
Have to score 3 here.

Newcastle are surely going to get a 2nd today imo.
 
Rooney is going to get booked for doing something to Tiote.
 
I think Giggs needs to come off for Rafael and stick Park in the middle with Valencia on the right an Nani on the left.
 
Really? Giggsy has given away more ball than any other midfielder tonight so far.

Unlike our other midfielders though, he has actually been creating while on the ball. That's what he's like as a centre mid. Gives the ball away often, but that's because he takes risks while on it.
