Ishmael Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Because during the second half we had a right winger on who wasn't scared of going forward with the ball... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 in fact i don't remember him doing his famous shitty longballs today. if I'm not mistaken? No one passed the ball to him. Is the right answer. There was a number of times when people didn't pass to him despite him being the best option. Ben Arfa will pretty much only pass it to him as a last resort.

Guest neesy111 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Played ok, but again the guy can't cross a football for his life. I seen better crosses in the NOFC game yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 His tackle on Richardson in the first half was brilliant, sprinted about 30 yards to get to the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rey Mysterio Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 A ball that was going out for our throw in until he slid in on Richardson right on the touchline. Lucky he wasn't booked for his late kick at Mclean earlier in the half or he way well have walked before half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't want him to be first choice rb but have no problems with him as a squad player. As a defender he's reasonable and certainly did ok today. It's his use of the ball and our general ineffectiveness on the right that annoys me. I was surprised that Santon was taken off at HT as we needed a goal and his pace and attacking play is certainly superior to Simpson and in my view Raylor. That decision was compounded by their sending off when Simpson was the wrong full back to have left on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 1:25 of that Ben Arfa video sums up why we need a RB that can play football, Tiote in a good position to pass to yet he lumps it forward, which unsurprisingly their defender won the header Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cross from our fullback was lacking in anything resembling a threat, but if he can do that more often, much more often, he could end up causing some serious problems for the opposition.

First it was funny to see the different in the class. But then it wasn´t. Still can´t get our that he wasn´t subbed instead off Santon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to have to learn to cross if that is ever to happen He will if he does it more often in matches. Not saying he'll be Beckham-esque. But he's much more likely to hit one or two dangerous crosses in a game if he gets 6 or 7 opportunities to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dimpson was on 5live recently. He's so incredibly dull, I've no idea why sky/bbc keep asking him back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dimpson was on 5live recently. He's so incredibly dull, I've no idea why sky/bbc keep asking him back Just one in a long line of footballers who have no personality. It's amazing how punditry and commentary is so bad in football when most people I know could do a better job. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's boring little bellends making cliches and trite comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brynn Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 He is not very good, however he is way way better than Ryan Taylor. Some of the things you just take for granted with Simpson or any PL-standard player is sometimes just not there with Raylor. For that reason alone I prefer this lad.
