TRon Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He looked a different player today, much more relaxed and confident. I can't work out whether it's because we didn't get the best out of him or the Championship is just shit. The latter I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 D2 is more appropriate than CCC or NPC tbf. Shall we just call it the NSPCC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shit scared of Premiership full-backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I wish we'd have tried him off the striker. Is that where he was today? He found himself in that position quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He's part of that select group that excells in the Championship and does nowt in the top league. Rob Earnshaw, Carlos Edwards, Leroy Lita, Sylvain Ebanks Blake have all set the Championship alight and none next to nothing when up against the big boys.

Skirge Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He had a blinder today but how many players do have great debuts though. Took his goal really well, would love to think the loan deal was to help grease the wheels for a next season Taarabt deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He had a cracking game today, looked a lot more confident on the ball and didn't look afraid to take on the players. I still think if we could get his confidence up he could be a good player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shit scared of Premiership full-backs. He never looked comfortable here either. Massive difference between his attitude and the likes of Danny Simpson who isn't half as gifted but who acts and talks like he's the luckiest person alive to be wearing a Newcastle shirt.

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Still not sure why we loaned him out. Great squad player and a good option to have with his unusually high level of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Really stupid to loan him out without getting cover in first. Yes, he may be out of his depth in the Premier League, but he's better than no-one. Could have been useful yesterday coming on for Barton after he got exhausted.

Agreed. His pace was quite useful. And if we want to run a 4-5-1, I don't know that there are enough healthy midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What's the difference between Routledge flying in the Championship and Taarabt flying in the Championship btw, to suggest the latter would be any better in the PL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What's the difference between Routledge flying in the Championship and Taarabt flying in the Championship btw, to suggest the latter would be any better in the PL? Taarabt's got better vision, is a better dribbler and a better passer than Routledge. Plus he's quite confident in his own ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm a Routledge fan, but just look at Traarabt's stats, man. There's no comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taarabt's got better vision, is a better dribbler and a better passer than Routledge. Plus he's quite confident in his own ability. Fair enough. Was more aimed at those citing Routledge at Spurs as being enough reason to show he's not up for the PL, when they let Taarabt go just as easily.
