Appearances (All Competitions): 12 (3) Minutes Played (Premier League): 907 Assists (All Competitions): 1 Goals (All Competitions): 0 Yellow Cards (Premier League): 3 Red Cards (Premier League): 0 Not the return from injury he was hoping for. Slightly harsh due to the fact he was out for more than two seasons, but the Ryan Taylor of old seems to have simply disappeared. His set-pieces have been appalling, he looks massively off the pace in the Premier League, and he hasn't contributed enough in defence or attack. It is a shame to see such a popular figure go in some ways, but his contract being up sort of reflects his diminished role at Newcastle.
