I have been thinking of those 5 changes Mr Souness made from a side that beat Arsenal and West Ham, and I will say now that Ameobi played the best game I have seen him play for Newcastle V Arse.... 10/10 for sheer effort.
Mr Souness is a tamperer I have decided, remember how he used Jenas in a left back position and blew the lads confidence, now he is playing Ameobi in mid-field. That he is a bully also is also true, those who stood up to him have gone, Bellamy and Robert both had some confidence as well as big gobs.
Ambrose seems to be blossoming for Charlton in a more attacking role and scoring goals to boot, as is Jenas. So it seems the more quiet ones had their confidence destroyed by Mr Souness's bully boy style.
Watching Shearer and his performance V body language against Liverpool makes me think he was not happy, I do not think he agreed with the changes or team selection, but has thus far been diplomatic about it.
