    Newcastle have given the ball away cheaply 3 times in the first 3 minutes due to the high-press.

    He was excellent during the 2011/12 season. SAF's last season was the underwhelming one for Valencia.

    Underwhelming? He was useless that season.

    Valencia played well when LvG shunted him to RB for a while and then again under Mourinho but he's never been anywhere close to that player we saw in 11/12 since. I'm not sure why people think, at 33, that will change.
     
    Valencia has this terrible habit of stopping, looking around and then passing.

    I actually prefer him to Neville. I think he's more impartial if he you can believe it. He's the only scouse pundit I can tolerate

    He's a much much better commentator than Neville. For as decent as Neville is, as a pundit, he's a shire commentator.

    He kills the momentum when he does that. It's extremely frustrating, all he needs to do is run a bit and players will become available. I don't know why it's so hard for him, when it's a really simple task

    Our away fans in fine voice tonight. Renditions of "You Are My Solskjaer" and "Cheer up Alan Shearer" ringing out around St. James' Park.
    Really not keen on Mata at RW. He makes us plays too narrow and forces the RB to come inside constantly, means we only have one option.

    Free-kick for us into the Newcastle box, taken by Rashford who blasts it goalward and hits it really well, Dubravka can only punch it wide. Jones follows up but we make a mess of it and the ball goes out for a goal-kick.

    And when we have Valencia behind him it accentuates the problem. Hopefully Ole learns this quickly.
     
    Mata and Valencia on the RW= we don't play on the right of the pitch. I am not sure why we persist with those two.

    So why did you say he was shite during his SAF's last few seasons then?! That was all I was addressing.
     
    Jones is fecking dumb. Could see it was going to hit that defender a good 5 seconds before he kicked it straight at him.

    Lovely ball down the line by Herrera for Rashford and Lascelles bundles the striker over on the corner of the box. No free-kick but that was more than a shoulder charge.
