Tony Cascarino's Fiver: Leeds defeat down to poor attitude

1: Butt still firing blanks
Why is Nicky Butt taking free kicks and shots at goal for Newcastle? There’s a reason why the film wasn’t called Bend it like Butt.

2: A question of attitude
Shocks such as Leeds losing to Histon must be down to attitude because the gap in abilities is growing thanks to the greater wealth of the higher divisions.

3: Honesty is not the best policy
Roy Keane cannot let any uncertainty over his position filter through to the players. You can be too honest — it’s dangerous for him.

4: Chelsea are in need of speed
The only real change between Chelsea now and of old is a lack of pace out wide since they sold Arjen Robben, Shaun Wright- Phillips and Damien Duff.

5: Rooney must sharpen up
He was on target yesterday and Wayne Rooney is capable of being the top flight’s leading scorer, if only he could develop more sharpness in front of goal.
