I noticed, more so in the first half, we played the long ball quite a bit and obviously it didn't lead to much, most of our attacks came from Guti on the wings. We need to get rid of the route one mentality because it's holding our team back, that's why Shola looked more effective too because it wasn't him jumping all over defenders when a long ball was played, when the whole team played the ball along the floor everyone looked more comfotable. HBA helped a lot with creating this sort of play (along the floor and quick).. players seem to move around him whenever he has the ball and create options, more than they do for any other player.
Anyone watching MOTD2? How cheap are there VTs? That QPR thing looked like something I'd make in Powerpoint in school.

Newcastle have rejected a loan request from Derby for defender James Perch http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11678_7247522,00.html
Maybe we should sign some from Serie A after yesterday, obviously must be a high standard of defending there.
