Guest Grimbo Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Watching todays game reinforced something I have been thinking for the last few games... We have very few players who are able to trap and control a ball! Just watch - on most occasions when a Newcastle player receives a ball at pace - it will bounce two yards off them. They will then either lose posession or at least lose the advantage they would have had if they had controlled it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Shola traps the ball further then i can kick it, how he gets a game for us i will never know. The whole club is a circus at the moment and it is certainly becoming a crisis time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Parker's control is probably the worst of the lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grimbo Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 One player who does seem able to control a ball is Sibierski! Not what I was expecting, but there you go! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect? I expect our players to be able to trap a ball at least as good as players from other clubs! The fact they can't may well be the fault of Roeder and Souness - these weaknesses should be addressed in day to day training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest puretoon Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I've never deemed Shola a striker let alone a footballer. He's been crap from the very start, but when you get stupid managers saying they love shola you know what to expect. From the very start when I read that GR loves Shola I thought 'Oh no'....why, just what hold has the gormless, totally useless cretin got on this club? a dicky hip-don't make me laugh! a dicky bloody brain more like. GR constantly playing Shola will be the death knell of this club. Ya bugger, they even let Chopra go without giving him any chances what so ever-and he's still scoring goals for fun!

Yeah scoring goals in the championship where as Ameobi has been scoring consistantly under Roeder over a lot longer period at a higher level. I have never claimed Shola to be top class or even good but some people need to get their head out of their arses and realise the grass isnt greener on every other side! Won't be long till we have "that John Stead scored today, better than Shola" oh no we had that last summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grimbo Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 just what hold has the gormless, totally useless cretin got on this club? The fact that - if he ever makes it big - we sell him and its all profit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 There's a few simple things that our players can't do. Milner can't cross 9 times out of 10, and Zoggy always dribbles the ball about 4 foot ahead of himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 you can get away with having a poor touch if you play up-front. but it will hurt your side if other players in the team can't keep the ball under control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
