binnsy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Not exactly want you want from a footballer but when he doesn't try to play football and just does the basics then he is OK. His defending tonight was good, was good in the air, made some good blocks at crucial times and looked pretty solid throughout. Its when he tries to play football that the problems start!! lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Got a right bollocking off Pardew for that awful spinning backpass he attempted in the first-half. I felt bad for him, but I suppose he deserved it. He just reeks of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He was telling Simpson to mark/watch the red carded player who was walking off the pitch. He's thinking outside the box with that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 he got done again again but lucky Wigan didn't punish us. liability. Needs to have his hoofs chopped off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Ive just read that he's in an uncapped XI for English players in the PL alongside Simpson and Harper. This is as picked by Lawro, Dixon and Colin Murray. Just shows how clueless most pundits are. He's only the 3rd best uncapped centre back at Newcastle FFS, let alone the PL.

Beren Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just noticed it was his slide rule ball into the feet of Cisse in the build up to Bigi's goal How is this possible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I honestly can't remember one hoof. In fact I remember him passing it first time a couple of times. I'm still sat in SJP staring into space right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garth Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 His back pass to Krul last night nearly cost us, trying to be to elaborate with Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He did what CH's should do last night i.e. won headers and got some decent challenges in. As the game wore on last night he definitely looked more comfortable on the ball and his confidence looked less fragile. He's played a lot more football this season than anyone, probably including himself, would have ever expected or hoped and he needs the support of the crowd when he's wearing the shirt.

Benwell Lad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 His back pass to Krul last night nearly cost us, trying to be to elaborate with Colo. That was comical and almost costly. Along with Tiote's habit of giving the ball away in crucial areas we really try to be our own downfall on occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It actually looked like he had been specifically instructed not to hoof the ball last night - same with Simpson. At times it seemed like he was looking up ready to twat it and then had second thoughts, and played it simply on the deck instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 More to do with having more options in midfield with us having 3 there and then them being a man light tbf, but it still happened. I'll take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Piss weak against Koné at one point, his panic attack when Colo passed it to him in the first half and he hacked his foot into the ground and misplaced his pass back to him was pure comedy. Decent enough otherwise but really lacking in confidence at the moment. That coupled with his lack of ability on the ball makes him a liability.

I'd agree with this. We definitely need a couple CB's in Jan. If we don't even get 1 then I'll... well... I won't do anything but I'll be awfully peturbed.

steve_69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 More to do with having more options in midfield with us having 3 there and then them being a man light tbf, but it still happened. I'll take it. Yeah, it might be wishful thinking on my part, but whatever the reason for it i'll take it. Just seemed too much like a coincidence that both hoofers were playing the ball on the deck more. Even Krul didn't seem to be banging it forward as much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He was better last night like, I wouldn't say he was particularly great but he was far improved imo. Hopefully that clean sheet will give him a bit of confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that clean sheet will give him a bit of confidence. I'm not sure about that. He wasn't tested very often but when he was he filled me with terror everytime he was near the ball.
