Otherwise Cabaye had a good game with bags of energy. Very encouraging team performance in the second half but we do need someone to score goals more regularly otherwise we are in trouble. At the moment 4 5 1 with our players is the best formation. |

Sako's our only player who can hit a ball.

bearing in mind how few goals we are scoring, losing those assists would be a mistake I reckon.

Hen 8
TFM 6 PVA 9 Tomkins 6 Kelly 6 Luka 7 Macca 8 Cabeye 7 Wilf 7 Benteke 7 Andros 6 Sakho 7 Should have won. Fair play to the Geordies - defended very well second half and just about deserved to be on front at half time. 4 3 3 suited us 2nd half. Good to see Wilf and PVA link up. Macca and Cabeye both played well. |

Good second half performance, great skill by Wilf to set up the Benteke chance.
Poor atmosphere for a lot of the game, feel our support would have been so much better during those last 10 mins in the first couple of Premier League seasons. MOM - Pitch invader.

We played better in the second half as Wilf was pushed wide, and cabaye and mcarthur pushed higher to nullify shelvey who was dictating play in the first 45. It’s not rocket science

First Half Performance was poor we gave them far too much respect, we still created chances though and Wilf really should have put his chance away.
Second Half utter domination how we didn’t score 4 or 5 I will never know. Feel Sakho coming On was a blessing, he dealt with everything but it’s his on the ball contribution that served us so well. Hennessy 8 - Credit where it’s due he was fantastic when called upon. TFM 6 - Needs to stop diving in all the time, it’s comical at times. He does gives us some pace and width from the full back area. Kelly 6 - Been fantastic this season but was shaky at the back and was guilty of losing Diame for their goal. Tomkins 7 - Solid And dependable as always. Sakho 7 - Came on and gave us and the back line reassurance. Very good passing and boy do we need him back. Do not underestimate the difference he makes, he is going to be vital for the run in. PVA 9 - MOM performance and is now delivering consistently. He was fantastic doing the basics and gives us options when on the attack. He used the ball effectively and put some great crosses in. Luka 7 - Usual dependable performance from our stand in captain. Lucky with the penalty. Cabaye 6 - Poor first half and didn’t contribute much. Second half much better, some nice passes and unlucky not to score. Jimmy 7 - Performance mirrored Palaces. Rubbish first half, Dominated second half. Townsend 6 - Andros why do you have always do the obvious and cut in. It’s predictable just get to the bye line and cross it. Trust me it works. Zaha 7 - First Half I think he picked up a knock, missed pretty much an open goal. Second half well that’s the Wilf we all know and haven’t seen for a while. Benteke 8 - I might get shot for this but thought he had a good game. He won everything in the air, worked hard and was seriously unlucky not to score near the end. Roy 7 - Half time Team talk did the trick and obviously playing our more natural formation helped. Wish he would have changed it in the first half. We should have picked up all 3 points but you know what we didn’t lose. Would have been nice to see our new signing as well. |

PVA for me, but credit to Hennessey who was a close second. Really pleased for him, he has taken so much flak in the past and I would love to see him do well for Palace. Jimmy Mac would have won my MOM for his second half performance alone. I am a great fan of JM, please lets get his new contract signed ASAP.

Wilf doesn't seem himself because he isn't playing in his natural position, which is right midfield. He simply isnt a striker. We looked a different animal once Sakho came on and Wilf was out wide. Not sure how long we will keep playing the former out of position but I hope it ends soon.

Can we start playing Townsend on the left please. He is the best crosser at the club and if he was on the left he could get to the bye line and put those balls in for big Ben to attack.
That way if we continue with the 442 at least Macca can be on the right hand side. If its Wilf then Wilf can be on the right. I just done think Townsend is good enough on the right to justify play 2 other players on their weaker side. On another note how much better was Wilf when he went out wide rather than centrally. |

I'm one of Wayne's biggest critics, but fair play to him, he seems to have hit a run of form, pulled off a couple of great saves yesterday (as he did against West Ham), seemed to command his box better (as he did against Burnley) his anticipation has improved and comes out faster, and his kicking is certainly a vast improvement over Jules.
PVA my MOTM, really impressive and overlapping Wilf well, this was who I thought we had bought last year...amazing as before Christmas many of us would have been happy to see the back of him Great shift by Jimmy Mac, looked like he gave a sh#t first half, and was excellent 2nd half, when he plays well, we play well. Some nice passing out of defence by Sakho...he's surprises me though by not being the greatest jumper. Liked a lot of what TFM did, especially going forward, made a couple of mistakes but not costly. Wilf went missing at times in the first half, but 2nd half he was back to his old self....big mention for the track back in the first half when Newcastle broke away from a corner to make an interception in our own penalty area (yes we got an offside in our favour but it was given late) ...for me that's when the game changed in our favour.

Hennessey, PVA and mcArthur (second half) impressed me.
Bentekes overall game play was good, just needs to start scoring though. Am sure hes as frustrated as the rest of us. Need a big game from wilf soon. |

Newcastle (home)
I know, two apostrophes, one wrong and one superfluous but still in the wrong place even if it had been needed. It's enough to make you weep
