I thought he was poor on Saturday against Cardiff . Stop diving in .It looks crap when you don't win the ball .

- When given time on the ball, he can be quite considered in his distribution
- Good reader of the game, a good footballing brain
- Decent positioning
- Strong in the air
- Quite aggressive in the challenge
-ve
- When pressured on the ball his distribution can suffer (more so than others)
- very slow
- prone to diving in
- gives away free kicks due to being out of position due to lack of pace
- quite easy to get past (with and without the ball)
Overall i thought he was poor at Newcastle. His two major mistakes made him look very novice (which he isn't) and were very naive for someone of his experience. As a squad player i think he's been ok but I don't like him starting at centre half, i think it's too easy for teams to put the ball behind him and basically take him out of the equation.
nobody can eat fifty eggs said:Martin's been there, done it and got the T-shirt. His experience will be vital in our team this season when we play the big games especially in the Champs League. Some of the comments on here are absurd regarding him and unfounded, yes he has his faults like everyone else and is in the twilight of his career, but mark my words we'll be glad at the end of the season that Pellers went all out to get him last Summer. He's class.

agree with this, the bloke has won league titles in Germany and also played in a CL final, hes a good player, not the quickest, but an excellent footballing brain.
