Live TV on the night watch. Diame. Dawson. Jelavic. Footnote: A multi score deficit for Newcastle at home with around 20 minutes to go has proved no problem in the past. A few seasons ago they were down 0-4 to Arsenal and got the draw.
I'll go: Jelavic Diame Dawson Jelly was Mr Everywhere again and showed his class with some deft flicks which were just not coming off. On another day, and when the team bond with each other, these will be anticipated and lead to goals. His goal today was a cracker. Diame again showed his class with another magnificent strike. Dawson is steadily asserting his authority at the back. I agree with the comments on Robertson but surely someone is designated to move into the space he leaves when he attacks down the wing. Hernandez was nowhere today and looked knackered to me whilst The Hudd is still not himself - could be fitness or an injury I simply don't know. Good effort today though and we should have took the 3 points which is another 2 points lost.
I still have nightmares about Pompey, 2-1 up, 3 mins on the clock and they win 3-2.. signalled the end
1-diame-what a steal at 3.5m -so strong in midfield runs through the oposition and so singleminded when going for goal 2-dawson-made some important blocks at the back when we seemed in dis array 3- jelavic- what a goal gave the ball away too many times cheaply-some deft touches that didnt come off- Hernandez seems a bit of a nutter some times but he will be even better whe he gets to know the team-
+1 How many times did Diame anticipate a pass and/or steal the ball in critical areas....brilliant signing and all for the price of George Boyd. Brucey Bonus
Nah, there've been a few votes not for Diame in this one, at least once last season Davies got every vote - possibly Villa at home but I might be wrong, and Faye against Boro in the promotion season got it. There was another one last season where everyone voted Davies apart from Tickles who gave someone (possibly Rosie) else the three points.
