Friedel: 9 - Superb all round keeping display Luke Young: 8 - Shows why he should never be dropped again, two important blocks and an excellent clearing header. Collins: 5 - By no means bad but still exposed to often Dunne: 6 - Looked ok until he went off injured and was missed in the second half (sub) Cuellar: 5 - Didn't seem to bring any confidence to a a fairly awful defensive performance all round Warnock: 4 - Utter rubbish, should have conceded a penalty Downing: 4 - Just as bad, offered absolutely nothing Ireland: 5 - What he did he did well but most of the time he was totally anonymous and didn't look match fit (sub) Carew: 6 - Looked dangerous when he came on but the team round him had already given up the ghost by then Petrov: 6 - Hard to fault him really but couldn't raise the team Albrighton: 6 - Looked inspired for 20 mins and then could do very little to influence the game, totally pointless switching him to the left Gabby: 4 - Awful first touch and offered very little threat despite his attacking running, made Zat Knight look like a world class defender! Ash Young: 7 - Was everywhere and scored a great free kick but faded fast in the second half though McDonald: 4 - Wrongly dropped NRC when we needed a strong midfield, brought Carew on far too late and once again persisted with Albrighton and Downing switching wings despite the fact it didn't and has never paid off.

We were hoofing long balls to Ashely Young, and Gabby was crossing balls from the left to him in the centre??? It wasn't Young's fault but we can't play him as a centre forward. He needs to be back on the wing or even behind Carew, but he can't play that far forward. I would have even put him on the left and tucked Downing inside and left Gabby as a lone CF, but time and time again McDonald has picked the wrong team and wrong formation, although contrastingly we actually pass and keep possession much better than we did with O'Neill but we aren't playing to our strengths. Also I am sick of Petrov, everyone defends our captain and says how good he is and he works hard, but he doesn't do anything to change games, he passes backwards or sideways, he offers little defensive options, in my opinion he gives 100% but that 100% is very very average. He and Warnock are just not playing well and defensively Dunne and Collins is not always the great answer we think it is, Cuellar and Dunne was far more convincing. Ireland and NRC would be my midfield pairing of choice, but i would go 5 man midfield and one up front until we stop making the stupid defensive mistakes.

all very well introducing new blood but the old guard needs to pull its poxy finger out first

We need stability Lerner needs to show some balls by showing we are still capable of actually buying some **** new players with the Milner money and appointing a decent manager that will give the side a much needed boost! I like Mac but he doesn't seem to want the job and who can blame him, we are going backwards and we need a big personality to turn this team around and weed out the crap which there is plenty of here

have we ever won a game as a result of bringing on Heskey?

The script today just isn't ours, it's all about the glorious Geordie return. the moment we missed the penalty i realised this wasn't going to be our day!
