Kevin Nolan and Michael Owen in the studio on the channel I'm watching, Nolan keeps referring to Owen as mo, that's a new one on me, never heard anyone Calling him that before.
Our defence is back to being very susceptible to the one off attacks, teams barely bothered with them last year but it's so obvious now that you'll get chances out of us. Wilson is causing problems.
Phillips looks like someone who won a raffle to play for his favorite team , if Newcastle has a bit more ambition they could do serious damage on his inside
First half hour shite. Last 15 has been ok. Philips looking shakey. Hopefully Thiago has 20 mini in him to win the game
Terrible stuff, milner off and anyone on. Can't control a ball. Phillips doesn't fill me with confidence.
Not much better than against WBA so far. Final ball still poor and Newcastle targeting Philips who is more comfortable at doing the solid defensive stuff than playing out with it. Robbo and Milner both got a knock and neither seem to have fully recovered. Their first touch is just off. Some save from Darlow on Salah.
Typically a sign of tiredness. We're going to need a very obvious chance to open up if we're to score tonight, or something really lucky.
Gini coming on now. Don’t get that with so many attacking options. Shaq, ox or Thiago . He will probably get the winner now
