[I'm Blue]

That'll do, Well played Edin!

That must hurt Tyler.... It's 1-0 to the champions at half time. Not easy to say through gritted teeth ha ha

I think people are being far too hard on Fernando. He hasn't been great but he's done his primary job, he's sitting deep and making sure Newcastle haven't had a free run at our back 4, covering and slowing down counters when Clichy and Kolarov have gotten caught upfield. His recovery speed is something that really helps us, Garcia couldn't have done 3 or 4 of the plays Fernando has made already

Not to mention the fact ITS HIS FIRST COMPETITIVE GAME!!

This! Give the guy a break!

Frank Sinatra at half-time. Is this usual for the Barcodes?

Jovetic trying too hard, but still looking threatening

Second half he just needs to calm things down

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

I just wanted to say that I love Silva, if we could keep only 1 player from current squad, it would be him

 

[Centurions]

Dzeko has been excellent so far, our best player maybe.

 

[LJ75]

Jovetic is just in the way of Silva and Kolarov. A very immature performance so far.
