Guest Martin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It's patently obvious, in our current position, that we look a better side with Shola. Deal with it, guys. We looked better in the last ten minutes when Viduka came on, but he's not the answer either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Reading one of the WBA forums I surprisingly saw that they had a thread called "Shola Ameobi", being curious and fully expecting it to be a thread about how shite he was I opened up and what I read was shocking to say the least.... "I thought he was outstanding yesterday. He caused our defenders all sorts of problems, pulled people out of position and linked up very well." "Every time he's played against us, he's caused our defence problems." "I think he did do well and I do think there is a good player in Ameobi he has just suffered from injuries and inconsistency. " "Just using his strength and doing a very good job of it" "Ameobi looked amazing yesturday, think we helped him look better but was superb" "He was a huge threat yesterday and was a threat when we played them at SJP as well. Good player." More praise there than in this whole 26 page thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think he did a decent job at West Brom, mainly in the first half. He does make defenders uncomfortable, even if he doesn't always have the ability to take advantage of it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Its the needless fouls/offsides that annoy me so much. I can handle him having a shite touch/shot/header - many players do but the constant infringements baffle the fuck out of me. Every fucking game.

Guest Martin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He's not a finisher either. His goals are never clean, accurate. Against Brom the whistle went just as he was about to bury a shot, or so I thought, and hit went high and hansome. No-where f*****g near! His penalty asside against the scummers, which was superb, I can only remember a couple of goals which weren't scuffed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 1st half wasn't too bad he won a few good headers and put himself about, but as mentioned the chance to put Love through in the 2nd half was really bad he scuffed it completely and luckily it didn't cost us.

Fatwax Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I only saw MOTD so I trust the numerous posters on here and TT that say he was shocking, that said he did do a couple of good things which was a pleasant surprise It's the fact that he's so ridiculously slow whenever he does something, like receive and turn with the ball. He makes the process look awkward. Maybe it's severe rust that'll take a while to come off, but that and the needless fouls & offsides really let his game down. Occasionally he'll show a glimpse of a footballer. But that isn't good enough for a starting XI player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameobi is rubbish, and was rubbish against the worst team in the league. Yeah but come on, 1's and 2's rubbish? I'd say he was worth a 3 of out 10 for that performance. One for managing to kick the ball in the direction of Duff in the first few minutes, one for keeping Smith out of the team and one for picking up the right coloured shirt.
