Newcastle fans are split over the tactical approach against Manchester City which has triggered so much debate.
Given the manner in which the game finished, with their side pressing for a point as they trailed 1-0, the majority agree that Rafa Benitez's defensive game-plan was justified.
Robbie Brown, 36, said: 'Remember what happened at Chelsea and Manchester United recently when we went 1-0 up? We lost both comfortably.
'If we'd been beaten heavily by City not one person would be applauding Rafa for having a go.
