Ameobi calls for balance

Shola Ameobi is urging Newcastle United to maintain a consistent level of performance following their encouraging results against the top teams.
Newcastle have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton this season, and held champions Chelsea to a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
However, the Magpies have also lost at home to Blackpool, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers to leave Chris Hughton's side in ninth position in the Premier League.
Ameobi admits Newcastle have been adopting different approaches depending on the opposition and the striker is keen to find the right balance.
"It's annoying that our best performances are against the best teams - and then we drop points against some of the others," said Ameobi.
"When we've played the bigger teams this season, we've kept a good shape and limited them to few chances.
"We're a lot more solid and we don't let them play.
"When we play a team we feel we should be beating, we've been too gung-ho and left ourselves open at the back.
"It's about getting the balance right. We're not quite there yet."
West Brom 5/4, Draw 9/4, Newcastle 9/4
