The 35-year-old was making only his third Barclays Premier League start of the season and reflected after Stephen Ireland’s late leveller: “Everyone’s very disappointed. Going 1-0 up after 10 minutes, with man sent off too and then not win the game, maybe we were a bit lucky at the end to get a draw.”
But despite Habib Beye’s 12th minute red card for a foul on Robinho, which brought about the Blues’ opener from the penalty spot, it was the hosts who had two large slices of luck en route to taking a 2-1 lead midway through the second half.
And Hamann, who began his Premier League career at St James’ Park 10 years ago now, added: “You’ve got to make your own luck and over the course of a season it always levels itself out.
“We just didn’t keep the ball well enough in the first half, should have scored the second goal, had a couple of chances to and we couldn’t get the job done.
“Virtually with their first or second shot on goal just before half time we got punished. In the second half they defended a bit deeper and made it harder for us.
“Then again we didn’t keep the ball well enough and didn’t create enough chances to really deserve to win the game.”
