Ikon Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think it's time we all got behind him tbh. Then you'll have to be Patrick Swayze in the movie Ghost, as he backs off all the time and you're gonna hit a wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliassenfredrik Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Simpson is a decent PL player. He gets abuse criticism because he happens to be the weakest link in everyones preferred line up. Which is inevitable in every imperfect team. I'm not sure Perch is better in this position. From what I've seen he's far more steady as a DM because of his neat passing and his ability to close down. tl;dr: Let's get Debuchy in January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Frankly Perch is vastly superior both offensively and defensively. IMO when I have seen him play this season and last; he has more or less slotted into the positions he has been told to adopt with confidence and ability. Simpson has neither of these things with a ball at his feet. Perch is a decent premier league player. Simpson is very mediocre. He would tear up trees at full back; but has more of the pace, guile and intelligence needed to wo there effectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 the Toon boss will be glad full-back Danny Simpson is around. He was tipped to quit the club having failed to agree a new contract, with his deal having less than 12 months to run. But when Newcastle face Aston Villa tomorrow, he will be there. “Just call me the great survivor,” said Simpson. “It’s been a strange summer with the fans. “They must have thought I was going but that’s part and parcel of football.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 He is the weakest link obviously, but is also undoubtedly the scapegoat for a huge amount of people now... can see him being blamed for absolutely everything this season. There always has to be someone to take the flak. Not saying I rate him because I don't, but have a feeling on here he will take the blame for other people's mistakes/good play by the opposition. See Spurs game even...cross from one side, Simpson's fault for not getting tight enough to block the original ball, from the other Simpson's fault for not marking his man well enough at the far post. Can see this line of argument featuring a lot this year. It's not ideal but it's what it is and we all have to deal with it. Let's get behind ALL of our players eh?

He is obviously our weakest link in the first 11, but there is nothing to suggest Perch would be an improvement. And Pardew seems to feel the same, despite seeing them both training everyday, but sure, some people know better eh. We are stuck with what we have, lets just deal with it.

No, he's incapable of playing the ball out from the back - on the deck. At least in this area, Perch looks alot more comfortable & capable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristov Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 simpson was the first choice right back in a team that finished 5th, he played nearly every game until the end of the season. how many games did he keep us in through blocks and goal line clearances? i agree that we could do with an upgrade but its not all bad. preparing myself for abuse now.

SMTW Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Simpson is our weakest link granted, but seeing as we're stuck with him lets try and judge him impartiality as possible from now on. He's wank, but it pisses me off how the whole stadium groans the instant he misplaces his first pass of the game, whereas other players can get away with a lot more fuck ups without the same level of criticism. Can't be doing much for his confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he would contribute in the offensive then we may would have been 4th. but how many points did he earn us last season? we could have been 6/7th. hopefully his offensive side of his game is something the coaching staff can work on this season or at least until January until then im ok to go with danny boy till then.

nufc4eva Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Simpson has more pace than Perch, but Perch reads the game better and is calm on the ball - never seems to panic, Simpson treats ball like hot potato, the key is having options all around Simpson to keep him playing very short passes. The main issue with him is his backing off or losing discipline, seeing the ball just hit the back of our net and him pulled up on 18 yard line is to familiar, imho he needs to just concentrate on defensive side and let the rest attack, yes it restricts any overlapping down that side, but does hatem really need it, would at least stop us getting ripped apart on counter which happens to often. Santon is not perfect either but he does not back off, is good at carrying ball and retaining posession while his positioning is not always great, he does not constantly need the short pass option as his dribbling is quality, would like to see few crosses from that side though as him and jonas don't really provide that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take much notice of people calling for Perch to play, it will be the same ones who wanted us to play Tavernier until the Atromitos away game. It's nothing to do with Perch being a great attacking right back. It's everything to do with him being just as good defensively and the fact that he can pass the ball. On the floor. To our players. Like a footballer. Simpson can actually do this, I've seen him do it when Pardew takes the shackles off and we have more bodies in midfield to take the ball, but in a 4-4-2 Simpson isn't good enough on the ball and shits himself every time.

Totally. Also one thing that can't be underestimated at the moment is Perch seems to playing with a lot of confidence unlike Simpson. So it might be a good idea to take Simpson out of the firing line for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
