Ba scored the goals because he got his own way. Cisse was the main man last year and the main man at the start of this season until Ba and his agent spat their dummies out and demanded they focused everything on Ba. Newcastle unfortunately agreed to this in hope he'd be happy and agree to sign a new deal, something that evidently never came to life.
Simply put, you take away the Ba and Cisse scores. Who knows what will happen with the incoming striker whether it be Remy or someone else.
The class between the injured first team and the reserves we stuck out today was really showing when Marveaux came on, he wasn't even that good and he outclassed the players already out there, tells the whole story really. losing one good player like Ben Arfa is bad enough but losing all of them has done a huge number on us. We have to struggle past it and get the group together again.
In regards to strengthening, we done something really important in replacing Danny Simpson. Mike Williamson and Simpson are probably one of the worst combinations I've ever seen in the Premier League and Mike Williamson is a contender for the worst defender full stop.
My wishlist:
Debuchy - Done
Remy - ???
a solid CB - No idea?
a rotation/backup midfielder
