AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Can we not rip Simpson apart too enthusiastically if he starts tomorrow? I know he's basically crap, but let's get behind him as much as we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Was on TalkSport this morning... Never the brightest bulb but seems quite professional... Let's hope he's learnt to show Bale & Lennon on to their weaker feet rather than their stronger as he has done in the past... Surprised they could hear him after he had backed off the phone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Pardew talking him up in the Ronny today. Good man management. Yeah, good words, and ones that should even avoid upsetting the A.S.S*. His manager Alan Pardew told the Chronicle: “He has a good attitude. Things were not great for him. “He only has one year left and the contract we offered him he did not think it was right. “We have not had a bid which has been right for him, so he has stayed here. “He has to earn a contract with us – or with another Premier League club which he will get. “So we will have to wait and see. “His attitude, though, has been first-class.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/08/17/danny-simpson-could-be-thrown-newcastle-lifeline-72703-31640887/?#ixzz23nKaRaZ4 * Anti Simpson Society Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think his defensive frailties are sometimes overstated, i think hes limited but hard working, the problem is how little he offers going forward, ben arfa deserves a partner on wing who can pass it back and forth with him, Simpson just hoofs it vaguely towards the box whenever he gets the ball in an advanced position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see how reluctant Ben Arfa is to pass to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a decent defender who will do a job for you defensively but to cover for the fact going forward and in possession he offers nothing the whole team has to be reigned back a play a bit more defensively as a team. Which is why we saw the type of football we saw on occasion last season, the likes of Williamson and Simpson cannot play the type of football we all want to see. They are stoppers basically.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 A problem with his lack of attacking ability or awareness, however, is that it means he often finds himself defending because of it. It's like being hit by the same bus twice. Poor attacking and loses it, then has to defend after losing it which he ain't great at. He has Barfa covering which he isn't the best for even if he has improved, which means it pulls either the CB or Tiote over and there's a gap in the middle. I admire his hard work, but he makes problems for himself which he struggles to correct. If he hasn't improved on this and he starts as first choice RB I'll be canny frustrated.

Guest Stephen927 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Much prefer to go into the season with Debuchy as right back and Simpson as back-up/rotation .. but rightly I don't think he'd be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main defensive weakness is that he has zero recovery when he is beaten. The other thing I don't quite like about what I saw from him last season is that when he's left for dead because of an error, he seems to prefer letting the others pick up the pieces for him rather than making the effort to atone for his mistakes. What's worse is that he seems try to wash his hands clean and argue at times even when it was his fault in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 He's painfully limited in attack, prob the only thing he is good at in the attacking sense is dribbling the ball into the corner and forcing a corner by either getting it tackled out of play or cross deflecting or hitting off someone for a corner. His crossing is woeful, and for every 10 crosses, he hits maybe 1 or 2 decent ones. On a defensive side he backs off, is sometimes out of position and seems to trail everything. Positives though are that he's actually quite good at breaking up play at times, and he's got some decent pace on him so stride-for-stride he's done well in getting the ball out of play to let us recover. He isn't bad at heading the ball out at times, his positioning in the box and reaction time for saving certain goals off the line were some brilliant stuff, although maybe lucky too. I fear he gets run ragged versus top tricky wingers and for every good match vs Bale/Lennon at home there are times where a top wide player will destroy him. Regardless, we are linked to better players than Danny, and I'd hope we could upgrade on him. I'm thankful for the great things he's done for us since he has been wearing our shirt, but there are better out there that are affordable that I'd like for us to sign that would improve our attacking and defending as a whole. For some reason I feel much more at ease with James Perch playing RB now that I think of it. Perhaps its Perch's attitude on the pitch, he's a far better tackler, passer, and his reading of the game towards end of last season was quite good.
