Apparently, they clapped on the 18 minute mark because it was to do with 18 that died on the Malaysian airline (don't quote me though) and also Jonas Guitteriez (Assuming number 18) has just had his op for cancer and will be starting recovery soon.
I think the Newcastle fans clapped for a combination of those.
To post from Slick by the way. Our biggest worry for me is the "Not having anyone between the lines" problem. (and my forever moan about no pace / trickery out wide)
At the End of the game we had: Anichebe, Berahino, Samaras, Sessegnon and none of them could get any ball, andywhere near the oppositions box (I know they were sitting deep by this point)
The gap between midfield and strikers ALL GAME is disgusting. It's either lump to Anichebe (who wasn't THAT bad - but Him / Berahino where on a different wavelength both game) or pass it sideways until someone decides to lose the ball going forward.
Watch the game back (and any other times we are playing) and watch how many times we get the ball to someone who is running (or even moving) towards their centre backs from a central position, and either a) has a shot or b) makes a dangerous forward pass.
I counted 4 times yesterday. One from Lescott (after he piroutted) One from Dawson when he ran forward and one 2'd with Anichebe that Berahino shot at, and 2 that were into Anichebe's feet, where he tried to roll someone.
We need like a Cabella for them that was pulling the strings, or like Bojan did yesterday for Stoke, or someone to grab the game by the balls and dictate.
Last time we did? Burnley at home. Remember those through balls that Dorrans was putting through for Berahino?
Infuriates me.
