Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I thought he played really well last night, good range of passing, sat and protected and had a generally good game. Still looks sluggish mind. Probably the kind of player who needs to play every game for a few months to get to the right required level of fitness/stamina to play a full 90 minutes at full pelt.

Skeletor Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Pardew's attention to detail and Guthrie knowing exactly what his role helped him massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I always thought Guthrie was a decent squad player, but I was really surprised by the quality of his performance last night. Looks like he might be working hard on his strength and athleticism as well, which is the main thing that held him back in the past. Pardew spoke about changing Steven Taylor's training to make him less top-heavy, perhaps he's also been giving Guthrie additional conditioning sessions or something? Wouldn't surprise me.

Dave Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Still looked as podgy as normal to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Still looked as podgy as normal to me. I meant training that would help him to be effective in a game for more than about 60 minutes, because that's when he quite clearly used to wane and need subbing. Conditioning might not even be the right word for that, actually. The Taylor thing was just an example of how Pardew has shown he tailors (no pun intended) training programmes to alter deficiencies in each player's game.

magorific Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Guthrie's recent contribution and Saylor's performances this season should be a lesson to some of the moronic haters on here, many of whom have described both players literally as c***s in the recent past.

David28 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Very impressive today imo. The first goal was all from his work. Very good movement and passing, made the game fast for a moment and put them under pressure. Decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Works well with Cabaye, they both like to claim the ball and take it upfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yup. MotM. No doubt about it. He passed it well, he worked extremely hard and helped out the defence on many occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Would be tempted to shove him in with Cheick and Cabaye against City, like. I know that changing your method is pandering to your opposition's ability, but with a side like that - who are lightyears ahead of anyone else in the league - i reckon you can make an exception.

Shayno Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hopefully when we get European football next season he will be happy as back up behind Tiote and Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will be. I know Pardew likes the "gamble with two strikers" thing but he'll be mental to leave out a midfielder in this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
