Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Much better today, some good passing and even a decent cross. Similar to how he played at OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Noticeable that when he has that bit of quality around him he tends to produce more (see his performances for Argentina) as teams are less likely to single him out as the threat and mark/kick him out of the game. He'll be a good player for someone next season, hopefully an improved us. Much better today, some good passing and even a decent cross. Similar to how he played at OT. Man United didn't single him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man United didn't single him out. They did though, he was constantly being fouled, especially by O'Shea. He has the skill to operate well even if he's being closely marked, time and time again he gets the ball and he'll either do a trick or two to evade his marker or dribble his way out. Its that end product that is missing in his game which makes many of his runs, dribbling and fantastic work ethic irrelevant in the main. Tonight he had an end product.

TRon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 cue from some one...he didn't score, his assist wasn't a real one, faded etc etc LOL. Thank you all and fuck off . Please close the door behind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 best performance since Old Trafford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 best performance since Old Trafford Yep. I'll say this about Jonas, he does relieve pressure in a fantastic way as he can bypass two or even three players with nifty footwork and can also take the ball from one corner of the pitch to the opposite. He's obviously a fantastic team player but his technique really is shoddy which is a shame because he's a good footballer and it is actually surprising it isn't any better. You see him like tonight shift those feet with a trick or two which is great skill, then watch in astonishment when that same player just kicks a cross behind for a goal-kick or over hits a pass or shoots in the same vein a defender will pass back to his 'keeper. Highly frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly frustrating. Very true, i haven't seen many players with as good close control when running flat out as Jonas and that is a very hard skill to learn never mind master. It may just be confidence with Jonas but i think it has to be kept in mind that on the left he does get forced out a lot, therefore using his much weaker foot, on his right he's actually decent tbh. Shame we don't switch wingers sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I remember he put in a really nice through ball with the outside of his right, for lovenkrands which had Vds out of his area on the wing to clear it. So he has the ability.....he needs to cut inside more and have some shots from the middle of the pitch though. Stays on the wing to much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 His aerial crossing is pretty dire but i've seen him whip in several dangerous low passes this season, into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's far too responsive. Keep doing it for 6 more games, THEN realise it's not working, then do something about it. [/vaguejibe] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The partnership being formed with Enrique down the left will be something next season. Prefer it if Enrique overlapped and put the crosses in, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Is it worth giving him a try in the middle, perhaps in the 'hole' (cringe), behind Martins? Honestly, no. He works better on the wing, and trying to cut into goal, he almost has too much space in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 the partnership with Enrique looks pretty promising tbh. Both very quick and defensively solid, Souness would be whacking one off if he were still here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Enriques crossing is generally good though. The odd disappointing one, but most of the time he puts in a great ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Jonas DOES link well with Enrique, but that is more due to Enrique's movement than his ; Jonas is a luxury player in a team like Newcastle...put him in a decent side and he will look better, but his meaningful contributions are rare - very few goals scored or created by him.

Why would you consider a player who is willing to graft AND has a bit of quality about him a "luxury" player? Because he isn't Robert? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 He's not a luxury player at all, surely he's the opposite? He works hard going forward and in defense, yes he doesn't set up that many goals but he's only had Shola to aim for in a lot of his matches! He'll be better in a better team, but the same goes for a lot of players. We just need to weed out the absolute shit to have a decent side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
