Gutierrez: 'Tactics Were Wrong In The First Half'

Jonas Gutierrez was proud to captain Newcastle but wants to see the armband restored to Fabricio Coloccini. The winger deputised as skipper for his fellow Argentinian, who is recovering from a hamstring problem, during the 2-2 Premier League draw at Goodison Park on Monday night. He said United's tactics were sadly wrong, despite him playing the centre of the park - where he asked to play! Jonas Gutierrez: "I'm proud to captain Newcastle and these players - I really enjoying being captain. "They want to work hard and to play. "But now we want the captain - Colo (Coloccini) - to come back. He's a big player for us. We have to be together. "We know it's a hard season. We have injured players, and you saw the players run and work hard, and trying to do their best for the team. "That's what we want - to be together and to work hard. We wanted to take a good result home. "It was a really good point. "We had opportunities in the second half to win the game. "In the first half they were better, but in the second half I think we did better than them. "This is football. This was a just result for this game - a half went each way. "We changed a few positions. The manager told us to change. In the first half, we had a tactic, and we changed it."
