Speaking infront of the limited and lucky Geordies faithful on his first presentation by
the club today, Kevin Keegan has vowed to give Newcastle United supporters "something worth
watching".
Have been so closed to the first title in more than three decades back in 1996, Newcastle saw
Manchester United pipped our 12-point lead.
First game in charge for the Messiah as Newcastle will take on the Trotters and will try
to do the double against them this season. United has won the first meeting at Reebok stadium on
the opening day under Sam Allardyce.
King Kev will lead the United team without seven first team players.
Kevin Keegan recall Shola Ameobi to pairing with Michael Owen in United attack to
replace the calf injury hit Mark Viduka. United bench is full of the academy graduates as Newcastle
is missing seven first team players today.
Owen is wearing the captain armband in the absence of Geremi's on duty for his country and Alan
Smith being suspended for his red card against Manchester United last weekend.
After receiving half time break teamtalk, United lads seems being refill with passion on
their blood. They are now in more controll of the game since the start of the second
period.
A much better performance from Newcastle in second half as the lads push the Bolton side almost
entirely back in their box and defend.
I thought we were ok, not brilliant but ok. Actually, I thought we were infinitely
better than in most of the games I've seen this season - at least we gave it a real good go, and
tried to play football against the arch-spoilers, who to be fair were very well organised and
defended superbly.
