Mowen Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 That miss by Jonas in injury time was absolutely dreadful. Totally amateurish by a professional, he had time to take a touch and sidefoot it, but instead just ballooned it into orbit. Other that that, i thought he looked our only real attacking threat. Very frustrating player. I'd have been fined £2 and made to wear the donkey t-shirt in the bar after the game if I'd sent that effort in for my team. And rightly so.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 First impressions count with the media for some mad reason. Owen>Defoe according to the media, yet obvious such a suggestion is absolutely laughable. Please find me an example of this, hell, even Shearer said Defoe's ahead of Owen a couple of weeks back. Watch match of the day when Mark Lawrenson is on, watch football focus when almost anyone is on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I find it astonishing how Defoe is overlooked so often. Surely the lad has proven he is of very high quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Absolute peach of a cross with his left foot for Lovenkrand's goal today. Makes you wonder why he doesn't do it more often. I think he was due to hit one right sooner or later, I think he'll continue to be frustrating but until we get someone better it's pointless whingeing. Might as well appreciate his good points and he has got some despite the flak on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that close ball control and dribbling skills, you think he could hit a ball ok! - that shot in the game before where he had all the time in the world but he still managed to practically hit it vertical.

Kaizero Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Appalling. Can't see him staying past January, I think he hates it here. why do you say that? I don't think he hates it here. Surely too extreme a statement? I don't see a player celebrating goals and seemingly enjoying his football is all. The Argentinean told the Northern Echo: "January does not mean anything to me. "Regardless of what happens in terms of other clubs, I'm not going anywhere. "I really enjoy playing for Newcastle and my family are happy here. All I am thinking about is getting Newcastle back into the Premier League." Some questioned whether the winger would have been able to cope with the hard demands of the Championship but Gutierrez says his time with Velez Sarsfield in the Argentinean top-flight prepared him. Not that I believe him, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca888 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 The cross Jonas put in at Crystal Palace for Nolan's goal after only two minutes was a blinder. Also, if I remember correctly, he also set up Ryan Taylor for the second in that game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Good stuff, hope he starts doing it a bit more. It was a lovely move from him. He was woeful for the rest of the game though. Blatantly doesn't give a fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Been very good past few games, still our main attacking outlet. Had a hand in both the first two goals, more directly the 2nd obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 He's done better lately, but when you see what average wingers like Ambrose, Whittingham, Johnson & Adam are doing, then we should be expecting more to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that cross for Nolan was meant for him, I think he was aiming at Shola who ducked it to let it run through. He did get the 'assist' for Taylor, but passing it 5 yards sideways and then watching your teammate spank it in from 25 yards isn't the most amazing piece of play. Cracking ball in on Saturday though, best cross I've seen him hit for us (little to no competition mind). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Jonas-Gutierrez-Newcastle-laughing-all-the-way-to-the-Premier-League-article244501.html Jonas Gutierrez: Newcastle laughing all the way to the Premier League Published 23:00 04/12/09 By Simon Bird Jonas Gutierrez is recalling the pranks that are making the Newcastle dressing room a harsh place to survive.... but a happy place to play football again. For example, expensive suits have mysteriously taken a dip in the bath. His own shoes were packed with tap so they didn’t fit, much to the amusement of his team mates. Daft antics that are the preserve of naughty schoolboys and dressing room jokers up and down the land. “At last everyone is smiling,” said Gutierrez, one of the first three names on Argentina’s team sheet according to manager Diego Maradona. The 26-year-old winger is glad he stuck it out through the dark days of his debut season on Tyneside which included four managers, hope, despair, and ultimately relegation. It would have been easy to quit. Some did. “We are top of the table and this is a happy place to be. All the lads who stayed are glad. The first thing that goes through your mind when you get relegated is you want to get the club back. You do not want to be a quitter. “You do not want to walk out on a bad situation. Most important was to come back and get the club out of it. The players here could have chosen to leave, but they wanted to put it right. Believe me. “You can see we have lots of jokes and pranks. Steven Taylor and Ryan Taylor are the worst. They do their worst in the dressing room! It is funny, funny. Clothes in water? You think: “Oh no.” Then you have to wonder about driving home in your underpants! It is good, and funny, good for the mood. “If they do something to me, I get revenge. Last time they filled my shoes with tape. I couldn’t get my feet in and they were watching me struggle. I didn’t know what was wrong with my shoes and then you think, ok Taylor. It is ok, but I will get revenge. They had better watch. “When you come from another country it can be difficult. You have lots of different nationalities. For a few months it can be hard but you have to enter into the spirit and the dynamic of the squad. “But it helps when you can all laugh together. I think all the players think we have a good spirit, watching and fighting for the same thing.” It is a far cry from last season when instability and fear stalked the club and the city. The loyalty and love of the Geordie fans was tested to the full. Gutierrez, who will play against Watford today, added: “We trying to rebuild the fans’ faith in the club even though 44,000 still turn up to home games which is amazing. We were together last season but it gets difficult when you are not getting results and not having a good time on the pitch. When you are losing, you lose a bit of confidence. “There was far too much change. For a few months the owner wanted to sell, so it was difficult for the owner, the fans and the players. It was unsettling. Four managers! That is not normal. For the players it made it hard. That was a lot to cope with. “Now we are together again and pulling in the right direction and you can see that.” Gutierrez’ own future was resolved when Maradona told him to stay at Newcastle even in the Championship, with a promise he would stay in his World Cup squad. The rest of the squad held meeting in the summer to resolve their own futures. “It was a good meeting. All the players talked about their feeling and their own situation. It was good to do it at that time, before the start of the season. We talked together, everyone. We all said what we wanted from the club and for our own situations. It was the right thing to do.” Gutierrez is now settled in the suburb of Jesmond and his mother and father are regular visitors from Buenos Aires. Team mates say he is not shy to play his traditional Argentine music in the pre match warm up. “They let me a couple of songs, but not too many. Then they turn it off!“ He is close mates with fellow Argy international, defender Fabricio Coloccini. The performances of both men have been major positives lately. He added: “I think people believe in us this season. The fans are excited with the position in the table and the chance to get back the the Premier League. “We have to fight for the rest of the season. We can get people smiling again. People are enjoying it again. Five wins in a row. Not bad, we need more. You come to the stadium now and you see the team win. Last season we never won, only seven times in all the season, and that is nothing. Now the people are happier.”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
