Forster Helps Takes Celtic Top!
Newcastle goalkeeper Fraser Forster is only two games into his Celtic career but already the Tims have taken over at the top of the Scottish Premier League. The on-loan goalkeeper gave praise to team-mate Paddy McCourt, who produced a fine cameo performance to kill off Hearts with his team’s third in a 3-0 win on Saturday. Forster: “Some of the things he can do in training are ridiculous. “I didn’t know anything about him before I came here so he was a new face to me, but he’s impressed me massively. “You defend as a team. “But if the back five are strong it allows lads to bomb on and create chances. We could easily have scored more. “It’s fantastic to keep clean sheets whatever you do. There has been a massive change in players this summer so it will take a bit of time for everyone to get to know each other. But everyone did brilliantly against Hearts. “It’s all about concentration. Some goalkeepers struggle with that as it’s hard being out of the game for 89 minutes with nothing to do, and then having to make a late save that could make all the difference between one point and three.” NEWCASTLE UNITED 2010/11 PREMIERSHIP NEWCASTLE 0 BLACKPOOL 2Harper, Perch, Coloccini, Williamson, Jose Enrique, Routledge (Ameobi 81), Smith (Lovenkrands 62), Barton, Gutierrez (Ben Arfa 73), Nolan, Carroll.Subs Not Used: Krul, Campbell, Ryan Taylor, Tiote.
