Jose Enrique was awarded Man Of The Match for his performance against Fulham at the weekend, by Tyne-Talk player rater Wasim4nufc. High scores were also awarded to Tim Krul for the saves he made and Coloccini for his overall performance. Read on to see how the rest of the team faired.
Player Ratings
Tim Krul (7.5) - Made a string of good saves to deny Fulham and deserved a clean sheet. He seems to be growing in confidence, with every game he plays.
Danny Simpson (7) - Didn't get a chance to attack as much as Enrique but did manage to put in one or two fine crosses. Dealt well with his defensive duties when called upon.
Mike Williamson (7) - He recovered well after initially being caught out for pace at times in the first half. Hardly gave Johnson a chance in the second half.
Fabricio Coloccini (7.5) - He defended really well and was our rock at the back. Did make one or two errors but overall had a really good game at the back.
Jose Enrique (8) - Our best player on the day. Strong in the challenge, good on the ball and linked up well with Gutierrez he takes the man of the match award for me from a Newcastle United point of view.
Danny Guthrie (7) - Was forced to cut in a few times but I thought he delivered some fine crosses into the box. He looked good on the ball and should play in the centre for him to have more of the ball in the next few games.
Cheik Tiote (7) - Gets a suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season. Went about his business nicely though and marshaled the defence well.
Kevin Nolan (6) - Not involved as much as he would have liked and was less effective. I thought his passing was good although he wasn't in the box getting on the end of things and that is really one of his biggest strengths which meant he was a bit quieter than usual.
Jonas Gutierrez (7) - After a slow start, he got more and more into the game and made some excellent runs. Put in a few good crosses just like Guthrie on the other flank. Worked really hard and almost set Ranger up with a fine run into the box towards the end.
Andy Carroll (7) - I was disappointed to see him get a groin injury. Will have to wait and see what the extent of that injury is. As for his performance, he was denied by a great save from Schwarzer after a thumping volley was sent goal wards. Showed some good skills and also glimpses of promise in his partnership with Lovenkrands.
Peter Lovenkrands (6.5) - Made some excellent runs but should have scored after having three really good chances. It was his first game back in the team so one cannot be too harsh on him. Good to see him get a chance though.

I thought Tiote had a bad day. He was late repeatedly, and probably should have been sent off for a bad tackle immediately after his booking.
More importantly, he didn't get to control the flow of the game. In previous games he had 40+ passes, this game Gutierrez saw the ball more than Tiote. He is integral to our play, so the week's rest might do him good.

You do bring up a good point. I forgot to mention the fact that he did make a few poor challenges but as you say an extra week off could be to his benefit as he had played 3 games in 6 days.
