Guest toonlass Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Better fucking attitude than Michael Owen. A pile of rotting puke has a better attitude than Michael Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Fwiw - I definitely think the lad has something about him, whether that's good enough for the Premier League, only time will tell. He needs to actually get a full season under his belt, as his career so far has been blighted with injuries. He has that unique ability of being able to go from standing still, to turning to full pace in a blink of an eye. He's also got a cracking shot on him, and isn't afraid to shoot from distance. (Which is something we haven't really had since the Shearer and Robert days) Although we don't know if he's capable of stepping up, as he's never had the chance to do so. He's quite clearly far too good for League 1. However to make it at the top level, you have to have a bit more than technical ability. You also have to have some form of decision making ability. From his brief cameos in the first team, even though they were a long time ago, he seemed to eager to impress. The biggest mistake Hughton made was bringing in the likes of Pancrate instead of giving this lad a chance, that's the only criticism I'll have of Hughton. For example, if Keegan was still in charge, we'd have known by now if Lua Lua was good enough, as he'd have given him a chance, simply due to the fact he has something exciting about him.

oldtype Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Didn't actually seem that quick today, which surprised me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 to me he seems far to respectfull to be a winger at this point. He doesn't seem confident he could skin the fullback. He got the pace, and the one time he went past ivanovic he showed some trickery. More direct play would be sweet from the lad. Seems buildt for an explosion down the wing.

Wullie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Credit to him for the late run and excellent left footed cross that we won the corner from. We've certainly got some good talent coming through on the flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Didn't actually seem that quick today, which surprised me. First game after breaking his leg and is also his first game in the league this season, so i can't really judge him based on today, lookd a bit nervious.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Was quiet. Did he win our corner though by running past Ivanovic to get the ball in the box? Aye, teased on his right, nice little scissors, pushed it forward down the left, and crossed it with his left foot. Nice little moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 He didn't look fit to me. Didn't seem to want to attack the full backs - the one time he did, R.Taylor almost scored from the cross and it lead to the eventual S.Taylor goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I was at a friendly at Kingston Park, memory a bit foggy, might have been Allardyce's first game in charge?, and he looked the brightest prospect on the pitch to me, raw but always had that hint there was something there. Owen did fuck all same game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Saw something special in him at Accrington earlier in the season, still think he has that spark. Looked slightly unfit/nervous but when he ran at his fullback, the results were effective. Still think he can make it in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Liked him. For a substitute who's just come back from a leg break and playing his first game in the PL this season. Pretty impressive, wasn't expecting to see much of him or Ameobi Lite when they came on, but they both made a bit of an impression. Can't be bad.

AlanSkÃrare Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Will be a good squad player to have next season. If things don't work out I say loan him out january. I'd rather we play him down the right than knowing what we (won't) get from Ryan Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Pretty hopeful that he's actually going to be good for us. Obviously wasn't fully fit yesterday but totally understandable and he did OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Certainly looks the part. I hope he's professional enough to realize that he can force his way into Pardew's plans for next season. Should go on a short holiday, then come back, work on his fitness, and prove his worth to the squad in pre-season. He didn't play too much football this season, and shouldn't let himself go over the summer, as many young aspiring pro's do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 season long loan at Brighton next year should be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
