Cronky Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Got involved, looked confident, tried things. Considering we were being hammered by the league leaders, you can't ask for anything more of an 18 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He's got power, he's hit some rakers for the reserves hasn't he. He certainly has. My bad then, the few balls he did hit today seemed to be too weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also tried a long range pass but it was under-hit and reached a Liverpool player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Banaloona Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Given Taylor Coloccini Bassong Kadar Jonas Guthrie LuaLua N'Zogbia Carroll Martins hope we play that against Hull. I dont normally post on here but to say play Lua Lua in Centre Midfield is absolute stupid.... 1 - He is no Centre Midfielder 2 - If he was who would sit and defend? He is a winger through and through, prob (and I have only seen him in training and playing for the reserves) a winger with no end product like Zog and Jonas.... before u speak think in future PIL(O)K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been plenty times whilst i've been watching that i think he should go central as he does make things happen but don't think you could throw him into a PL as a CM.

Guest toonlass Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Perhaps yesterday's game wasn't one for LuaLua to start, but look at Everton. Their 18 year old Dan Gosling scored yesterday, bet we here about him in the future. Villa blooded Gabbi Agbonlahore at a young age and he has proved right. The problem with Newcastle is that they never give their youngsters a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't matter if they were. We demand instant success so they would not be allowed a chance. Do we? And what about Steven Taylor? The amount of chances he's been given off certain quarters of the fans due to his local status. At the end of the day most of the kids we've produced lately haven't been good enough, that's why they haven't been given a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Great reason not to put the youngsters in, cos the one's in the past weren't good enough. LuaLua needs to be given a chance to show what he can do. Edgar keeps getting games, Taylor keeps getting games. Why? They have proven that they are not good enough.

In the FA Cup, not the Premiership. Against Hull's fringe players. What other chance will we really get to throw him in and see what he's really made of this season?
