Don't get me wrong he's been unreal but if they hadn't had him they might have got Ronaldo or someone else who was prolific successful teams build a team around their best player so who knows what would have happened.
That argument can go on forever though if it wasn't for Schmicheal and Cantona Newcastle would have pissed the league it's a fair assumption but basically that's all it is.
Totally agree our problem is we put everything through Jack for obvious reasons so when he's not there we're clueless we're not a bad team at all certainly not relegation fodder we just need to find a way of playing without Jack and we will be fine.
Would argue that both them players were prem players playing in the championship I think they are already top half prem players with plenty more improvement to come.
HAHA you could be right personally I didn't think we needed any last night we were never under any severe pressure at all so much different to the first game I thought it was another tactical masterclass from the managerial team..
