Guest BooBoo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Really blew his big chance tonight, but Owen and Martins were equally as poor. Fact is, you can have the best strikers in the world, but they wont score many if the midfield blatantly lacks creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Im sure that Ameobi has the skills I stopped reading at that point He does have the skills like. There is no other player in the world who could get a ball in a good situation like he can, and fuck the whole thing up, with his team on the backfoot, and him flat on his face on the ground. That's the sort of thing that you can't learn. Legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Weirdly enough, the hip operation has made him worse Aye - he's now available for selection. Twelve months without seeing him made me forget that he was such a pile of complete dogsit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Shola = useless... meh that's old news man. Been telling everyone since 2005. I've always jokingly referred to Adebayor as a rich man's Ameobi. At the start of his Arsenal days he would score the odd goal, but be very poor in overall play. Often not keeping up with other's skills or plays and giving the ball away. But after the start of this season it's a laughable comparison. Adebayor has learned and worked hard and looks a quality player at the moment. Shola has been the exact same player since 2003. Amazes me how people can still have any lingering hope he will learn anything. Maybe another hip operation would do the trick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, you can have the best strikers in the world, but they wont score many if the midfield blatantly lacks creativity. It wasnt about scoring or creating or doing anything spectacular. It was about the fact that Ameobi proved once and for all that hes a footballing retard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other player in the world who could get a ball in a good situation like he can, and f*** the whole thing up, with his team on the backfoot, and him flat on his face on the ground. That's the sort of thing that you can't learn. Legend. He did things just like Van Nistelrooy. Was offside before the ball was hit, and trying to get onside just before the ball was hit. Too bad he didn't get onside before the ball was hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ameobi was shit tonight but I don't think Viduka would have done much better in the circumstances. He's been shite this season too which is down to the continued use of the long ball game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been shite this season too which is down to the continued use of the long ball game. Ameobi certainly wasn't helped by the deliveries from wide (crossing, free-kicks, corners, throws) - each and every one was abysmal. As you say, any player would have struggled with that shite.

Thespence Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 He did things just like Van Nistelrooy. The thing I remember most about RVN was that he used to score a lot of goals & Shola did not do that. Ikon - Is your real name Mrs Ameobi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ameobi was s*** tonight but I don't think Viduka would have done much better in the circumstances. He's been s**** this season too which is down to the continued use of the long ball game. You'd expected Viduka to at least be able to control half the balls played to him. I really struggle to remember one thing Ameobi did right tonight. Ameobi wouldn't even make the England women team based on a performance like today.

Memphis Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Amoebi was awful tonight. He has been awful for some time. He will be awful in the future. There's no way he should get a game ahead of Martins or Smith up front. That said, the service from midfield (and Steven Taylor) was horrible. Absolutely no creativity and no idea how to break down a very poor, but hard-working Derby side. A genuine step backward for the first time under Sam. We will see what the response is.

You hit me with too much comedy at the start of your posts for me to carry on. From what I can gather from the bits I have read we have RVN with skills playing upfront for us AKA Shola.

Guest optimistic nit Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 it seemed that the whole gameplan tonight revolved around ameobi in a heskey like role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 it seemed that the whole gameplan tonight revolved around ameobi in a heskey like role. That must be why we lumped the ball long and hard then. As usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Viduka gets the ball, controls it and gives it to a teammate nearly every time because he has such class on the ball. Ameobi couldn't even get to the f****** thing. The thing is, if he wasn't a Newcastle player, I'd love Ameobi. He's like a comedy character, trying to get the ball and inevitably falling over something. Classic Much like Bramble. Anyone old enough to remember Arthur Horsfield ?

Wullie Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I don't mind Shola at home tbf where you have a bit more of the ball and a few more chances, but away from home, the key is to keep possession as much as possible and he's abysmal at it. Has Shola ever had a good domestic away game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLK Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 no pace, no touch, no anticipation, no quality in the air, no skill, no finish, no pass Still a great squad player though for some... Add to that he is Always always either offside or fouling the defender...I tell you he is no better than Bramble when it comes to being called a footballer...Well at least Bramble used to have the odd magic games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
