Dave Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Interesting that he of all players would praise the confidence the team has gained given Kinnear's recent comments. He's probably not seen them yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 So close to scoring a screamer (he should have squared it though) but a cracking little pass from him for Oba's goal, he seems to be sorting his game out, we need him to come good so fingers crossed.

Newcastle Fan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 He seems like a really decent player, i hope he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I still think hes good when he knows he's allowed to get forward. He was under Keegan and he seems to be whenever NZogbia plays. Ive got no problem with him defensively, I think he reads opponents very well. I really hope we keep him.

fredbob Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I cant for the life of me see any benefit in selling him full stop. He's shown glimpses - more often than not, and is still young, he's not an overly expensive aquisition and definitely isnt a flop, if he was 27-28 id still keep him as a back up but the fact that he has time on his side is a big plus point fo me.

juniatmoko Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 atm. we dont have natural left back better than him.... why we sell him?... we should look player just to compete with him not replacing him... daft manager like kinnear really worries me...

Not really, i always thought he was decent, seems to know what he's doing which is far better than anything we had in the last few years, good technique, strong, fast and he's only 21.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 He seems like a really decent player, i hope he stays. Based on 1 good game out of about 10 ? He's been very good in 3 games that I can remember in the last 2 months alone (Villa, Chelsea, Portsmouth) even when he was poor against Boro we still kept a clean sheet with him in the team and it seemed like all the fog that day was around that left back position. So I challenge you to name a realistic alternative who is better for us. Because I cant think of one, not because their arent good fullbacks, but because I dont think theyd be an improvement on Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 He seems like a really decent player, i hope he stays. Based on 1 good game out of about 10 ? Or based on his overall impression of the player in the 30+ games he's played for us? Or have you only seen the last 10 games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Enrique's weakness is his attacking play rather than his defending, it doesn't seem to be his natural instinct to raid down the flanks and overlap. Funnily enough, he does look like he could be coached into doing it, he's got a sweet left foot and he's got a couple of assists to his name now. I still think he's going to become a much better player, if not here, then somewhere else if we're dumb enough to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 His last poor performance was against Wigan, but the 2nd half vs Pompey was by far his best attacking performance so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Very good again today. Do the people who thought he was a 'joke' still think that now? Or do you think he's done enough to convince you hes a much better prospect than anyone we may be able to persuade to come in January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He's definitely stepped up to the plate these last two matches. Lennon was dangerous but he had the pace to nullify it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I never realized how fast he was until he matched Lennon for pace. Very very few fullbacks can match him and it was a fucking delight to see that prick Lennon being so frustrated coz for once he could not rely on his speed to skin the fullback. You could see that time and time again he wanted to prove that he can beat Enrique for speed and time and time again he failed. Don't mind getting another LB but only as 2nd fiddle to Enrique. Let the lad grow and develop at St James and he will be awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I never realized how fast he was until he matched Lennon for pace. Very very few fullbacks can match him.... I did, the reason it isn't more obvious is he only really uses it defensively when a winger is taking him on. There's been a few times in his Newcastle career players have got the wrong side of him and he slips into overdrive and catches them before they know what's happened. The lad's an unpolished gem IMO.
