One man does not make a team. Newcastle have performed better when the odds are against them, I think they will come through today with a point. Manure really don't look that great this season.
You;ve obviously watched Newcastle much this season/last 10 years.
Colocini plays incredibly solid and time and time again makes up for Tiote/Taylor's errors. S.Taylor has improved amazingly, but ONLY because Colo is next to him, without him he will fluster and not play anywhere near as solid. He is a ball playing defender and keeps possession, leads our back line and basically doesn't let anything past him. If Rooney played centre mid and Colo played I think we'd keep a clean sheet.
Your underestimating Hernandez just a touch aren't you, imo he's on a par with the very best at the role he plays.
