tmonkey Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Jonas was most at fault for the first goal certainly, lost the ball far too easily to Valencia and showed bad awareness in doing so. But why didn't Nolan just pass it into space ffs? Jonas was pointing for Nolan to pass it forwards, two players were closing the ball down from behind it, and there was ample space for Jonas to run on to. So what does Nolan do? Pass it slowly into Jonas' run as opposed to ahead of it, making Jonas check his run briefly to get the ball - which in turn gave Valencia that added bit of momentum he needed to catch up/rob Jonas.

Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Better Newcastle teams have went there and played worse, and better teams than Newcastle this season will get beat by bigger scorelines. Nowt to worry about yet. And no doubt Sky will start their campaign to get Scholes a Giggs-style Player of the Year award. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Mag Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 just on my way back from this, we matched them well until berbatov scored, looked offside from our view, was it? After that we just seemed to crumble and jonas and jose's heads went down. Our problem is we want too much time on the ball and don't get enough men forward. Perch had a mare btw, totally out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Steve Taylor is a central defender not a RB despite everyone getting carried away by a few decent runs down the flank. It's more the fact that people with sense realize that CB is a position that requires a lot of intelligence, and Taylor's about as sharp as a wet sponge. He's also our best RB. Which is probably worth considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 also this love in for scholes, the guy is fine against teams like NUFC who will give him space, against teams like city, he won't get that kind of space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thought Jonas was impressive tbh when i watched. Didnt catch much of the first goal, but looked to me like he had stepped up a level. Went past his marker several times, was dribbling across the width of the pitch at times with the ball to try to open things up. Just didnt have much support atall.

80 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Didn't see the second half as clearly as I'd have liked to. Biggest single critical thing to say would regard our lack of attacking pace and verve. Broadly appreciated the attitude shown, though. Call me on the 1st of September and we'll talk.

Ronaldo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Jonas is going to be useful because of his athleticism and excellent work rate, but a part me looks at him and wishes we had a genuine threat on the LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
