aussiemag Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Give the lad a chance, is lacking sharpness and match fitness in a big way. Hes still young and will come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I didn't think he was that bad to be honest and didn't do a lot wrong, we just got overran at times with Everton having the extra man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Was the 'save' when he was on all fours in the area? Didn't think too much about it at the time, did he move his arms towards the ball? Yeah Had a cheeky look at the linesman after to check he didn't notice.

wormy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Wasn't great, wasn't terrible. He was just.. there. Fair play, he played his part, but I can't see us surviving too well in future games if we still have Tiote and Cabaye out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Got back a couple of times for key interceptions. Did a solid job. Hard to notice due to his generic look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Think he will be under pressure soon by Abeid and Vuckic for the backup midfielder slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I can't see us staying unbeaten if he starts the next couple of games. Too slow around the pitch and he looks like he'll be second best against a lot of midfield opponents at this level. he's nolan in disguise, makes good runs into the box, but not in the same class as cab or guthrie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Did well coming into a game that was being played at a canny pace. Tidy, if a little ponderous, on the ball. Made some crucial interceptions and blocks, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Looks like a Bowyer type Nolan type midfielder...., did put in a good shift today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We'll not sustain the defensive record we have so far with that awful pairing of Guthrie and Gosling. Immobile, uncreative and just a bit too inert. Adequate back-up for a bottom six team, not good enough for the top end by any stretch of the imagination.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I thought he was pretty anonymous myself, at times Guthrie was all alone protecting that back four or driving the team forward from the centre. He could have given away a penalty as well. Still, he hasn't played many minutes in the last year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Not sure how anyone can proclaim we will/won't be able to things with him in the side, what number game was this since he joined? Fair enough comment on his performance today (thought he was alright myself) but making long term statements is a bit silly and something a few were doing with Ba after his first 100 minutes in the team, Best about 1 game in etc..

Dokko Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Were gonna lose our next two games regardless it Tiote and Cabaye play, anytime for them to be injured it's now, don't want either of them putting in a decent shift against the Manc clubs as they'll be bidding for them next month and ashley has his price. Guthrie/Gosling partnership is uninspiring, but they are our backup, and we should be grateful we've got them, next option is smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umer Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I thought he was pretty anonymous myself, at times Guthrie was all alone protecting that back four or driving the team forward from the centre. He could have given away a penalty as well. Still, he hasn't played many minutes in the last year or so. I agree with this, and he'll get better with more match time I am sure. Think he can be a good utility player but looks like he needs to play reserve games for a while to get his confidence and sharpness back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thought he did well, chipped in with a couple of vital pieces of defensive work and made some good forward runs that didn't get picked up on. Hope people aren't going to make a solid judgement based on today, just remember how much football he's played in the last 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 He made one very important bit of defending in the second half, nicked to ball of an Everton player just as they were about to shoot for ten yards out or so, worked hard too, nice to see him fit in with the all out work ethic that Pardew has introduced.

DJ_NUFC Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 He's fucking shite. Well, with that out of the way, we need to utilize him to the best of his strengths -- so far I'm not sure what they are. As TT rightfully pointed out, the GosGut are our backup, and in that they have done a decent job of not crumbling under the pressure against an Everton midfield far superior than what we put out for the majority of the game today. With the next option being Smith, Gosling looks like fucking Zidane. I just wish he had more bite and creativity about him. Right now he just walks about, with Guthrie putting in hard work.

LesPaul Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 FFS he's had lengthy injury lay offs and people expect him to come into the side and be brilliant? Delusion at it's highest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
