Bassong must NEVER play for City again, nor

should R Martin play centre back.
Newcastle played lots of long balls straight down the middle and their runners always seemed to be in tons of space.
Classic ball watching, no communication.
A reminder why we tried to get rid of Bassong, and why RM was taken out of CB.
Bassong should have been subbed at half time, and by then we should have been 4 goals down.
Why, when away from home and expecting loads of pressure in the last 15 mins, do we take off the only player with pace that could give our defence some respite? We just invited them on to pump long balls into the centre of our dodgy defence.
Really hacked off that AN played these two at centre back, but they should have been experienced enough to see out 6 minutes when 3-2 up.
I really hope Tim isn't out for long.
