Everything Toon do coming forward is through Ferdinand's patch. Clint looking nervy, bit of a penalty risk. Apart from that, pretty balanced game.
Thats the way I see it too, there was no need to hold him either. Newcastle player just injured himself diving.
Brilliant tackle Fabio. I know we should be positive and supportive, but Ferdinand is not good enough for this division. St James' Park as lively as a morgue, pressure building on them.
If we can keep this 0-0 at HT, the Toon and their fans will start to get frustrated and the pressure will mount.
Dire. I'd be happy with 0-0 and last on Match of the Day. But with this amount of possession in our half they will have to be really bad not to score. So far they can't shoot on target. Mackie and Cisse permanently offside.
