Newcastle are in search real leader in this time of need and Colo is proving each and every week that he isn't up to the task. Should United be looking for a new skipper ahead of the West Ham game? Maybe not. Should they have changed the captaincy a few months ago? Most definitely, yes. As for his performance he, along with the rest of the back four, were not challenged at all in the first half. However, he was beaten far too easily on a number of occasions in the second period as the home side shifted up through the gears. His 'attempt' to stop one particular run from transfer target Charlie Austin was pitiful and wouldn't have looked out of place on a school playground. Fabricio should have also got his name on the score sheet when Newcastle were dominating proceedings in the first half but the former Argentine international couldn't get enough of a header on Daryl Janmaat's deflected shot. What a costly miss that proved to be.
