15 Things We Learned From Newcastle Vs. Portland Timbers 2

5. Mike Williamson Is Better Than We All Give Him Credit For...

Willo, for seemingly the first time in his Newcastle career, would have made a positive difference on the pitch in Portland. It's the one game that United were begging for him to be playing. Why? Because he can head a ball when it needs clearing. Not when United are trying to score, but when they are trying to clear their lines, more often than not Willo will be there dominating an aerial duel before making a fool of himself when the ball is on the deck. Savour this entry, because you'll never see the likes of it again. You'll NEVER see us pleading for Mike Williamson to be playing in a match for Newcastle United when he hasn't been selected.
