Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Didn't watch the game tonight so I can't comment, but I thought he was poor at Boro. Imo, he will struggle to play in a two man midfield in the Premiership. Defensively he is rather poor. He is rather skillful and incisive going forward, but not enough to cover these deficiencies at the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 He was probably told to play it safe with the passing against Boro. His game is about getting the ball and driving us forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 No suprise we've scored way more goals since he started playing in the middle at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Poor against boro or not, his delivery was class. That's what I like about him, when he's good he transforms the team, and when he doesn't, he still gets the assists. His right foot is lethal man.

madras Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 No suprise we've scored way more goals since he started playing in the middle at home. bloody right its no surprise as we have an extra man going forward (as opposed to butt or smith sitting on our centre halves toes) and lovenkrantz making intelligent movement.

Lenny Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Has good technique, but really needs to learn to drill a ball. There was at least 2 or 3 occasions when he should have smashed the ball across the face of the goal on Saturday but decided to float it to the back post (and usually with too much weight on it).

Guest scum Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Dannys one of the one squad players I genuinely like, keeps his head down and works hard. Bit like milner in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Dannys one of the one squad players I genuinely like, keeps his head down and works hard. Bit like milner in that respect. Well, let's not jump to bury this one when he doesn't immediately set the Premiership alight then. One of the most insane things I've experienced as a Newcastle supporter was seeing how much Milner was hated. It wasn't even a case of him giving up on him too early when he was struggling, he was actually one of our best players for 2 years running and had an excellent attitude, but some people seemed to despise him because he "had no pace" (the most overused and often incorrect indictment against a player ever by the way) and "couldn't cross." Now I'm not trying to imply that the fans drove him out of the club or anything, I'm fully aware of who initiated that transfer... But still, it's always just struck me as incomprehensible.

In all fairness, there were alot of games where Milner looked very slow down the flanks and couldn't cross for toffee. I agree that he was "given up on" though, considering the form of the club as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Name more than 5 good games he had in that period. His crossing was poor and the other aspects of his game nowhere near made it up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm honestly not going to go through the bother of dredging up five matches where I think Milner played well. I just don't think anyone can dispute that he was a good player for us under Roeder/Allardyce. Especially considering the relative standard of the team during those periods.

Chris_R Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Name more than 5 good games he had in that period. That's got to be one of the daftest things I've read on here. As if anyone* can remember who played well in what games over the last 3 years ffs, and as if the inability of someone to recall this will somehow invalidate their argument. Milner was one of our better players for me, of that there was no doubt. I never got the hatred of him, always thought he was a threat going forward and his sale contributed massively to our relegation.
