Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Showed a massive pair of b*llocks to take that given how sh*t he's been, and the reaction had he missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Was a brilliant pen. Still can't believe he was offside on all those free kicks... Such a brain dead clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Don't think he managed to get a shot on goal all game though he had plenty of efforts. Second half he did some decent wing play down the right, maybe trying to show Duff that it wasn't impossible. Full respect for taking that pen though. That took some courage.

First half turn and shot, but was a tame effort on his left foot, just rolled into Fulop's hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mongo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He did some good today, tbf, made some decent runs (true story!) and got into good positions (also true), but like the rest of them, he's seriously lacking in end product, in timing and in decision making. But he took the penalty very well, even though he looked nervous as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Tbf to him this is his first game for a while, any of the "favourites" would be afforded that excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He runs slower than a 50 year old, he should have been brought off after 20 minutes but that's down to the manager, not him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Didn't even look close to being fit. Then again, how on earth do you assess his fitness? He always looks lazy as fuck 24/7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It is a fact that Ameobi is our penalty specialist. Check the stats. He's got a much better record of scoring penalties than Owen or Martins. I was almost confident when he stepped up to take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a much better record of scoring penalties than Owen or Martins. I was almost confident when he stepped up to take it. I wasn't confident at all...didn't dare to watch it actually! Glad he scored though but scares the hell out of me if he had missed it! He runs slower than a 50 year old, he should have been brought off after 20 minutes but that's down to the manager, not him. Runs slower but reacts even slower than a god damn dead person! He's so hard to play through when he's just standing still and doing nothing. Feeling sorry for Jonas there... Can't really believe that Shola has scored 50 goals for us! Just unbelievable. How many of them have come from pens? Not too many I guess but there muist be quite a few of those accident/fluke kinda goals he scored against City or who it was earlier this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a much better record of scoring penalties than Owen or Martins. I was almost confident when he stepped up to take it. NUFC.com have the stats: - Shola from the spot - 4 pens, 4 goals: Nov 2004 v Norwich (h) LC Apr 2006 v West Brom (h) PL Oct 2006 v Bolton (h) PL Jan 2009 v Mackems (h) PL Ameobi also netted in the penalty shootout at home to Partizan Belgrade in the Champions League Qualifier. As for friendlies, he converted his shootout efforts in Thailand and Hong Kong in the 2004 pre- season, but missed one away to Bray Wanderers in August 2005.

Ronaldo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's absolutely incredible that he's still here tbh. Possibly the best ammunition when discussing Robson's somewhat sketchy talent judging abilities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
