He's been too slow for a couple of years now, I'm surprised Liverpool have kept him this long, although I appreciate he was a fair way down the pecking order.

He's never been the quickest. His reading of the game seems to get better and better, he makes it look so easy. Against quicker, more agile players he gets found out a lot, but last season he had many decent performances, and he's filled in very well when he's played this year. Obviously he's not as good as the younger players, but his experience tells and he uses it very well.

I think we'll probably be in the market for a centre back in the summer, Raul Albiol has been linked, but I think he's too good to be fighting with 3 other top players for 2 positions.

Who else will enjoy SSN watching all the Geordies crying if they go down, I bet none of the blame is attributed to the clueless Shearer.

It's hard to blame that much on She-ra, really.

He can surely be judged on the games he's been in charge, some daft selections 3 points out of 18? or something similar

2 from 15. Scored 1 goal, conceded 7.

The stats against Liverpool were particularly damning. They had 1 shot in the match, off target. Liverpool had around 60% of possession, but somehow Liverpool managed to make 24 tackles to Newcastle's 12.
