Gutierrez looked good. Coloccini was OK, better than the alternatives for Newcastle.
Still, if we'd had any of our missing players on the pitch (Tevez, Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, Saha... even Hargreaves) I think we would have won. Given was lucky with Campbell's header, and we should have had an early penalty.
Still, took us a while to get going last year and we didn't do too badly in the end.
