TheGuv Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Was good to hear Geordie Vuvuzela come out a few times Smith and Nolan were flippin woeful yesterday. The rest had some redeeming attributes. Any One Step beyond's performed in pubs last night? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The mackems can't be objective about anything. They reckon Jonas is the worst player in the league and we look like their 15 point team. The difference in the North East is Darren Bent, simple as that. They struggled to beat Birmingham at home and only scored because of an own goal and a mistakenly given penalty. I think we did ok last night given the circumstances. Every single member of Man United's bench would comfortably break our first team and If we play the way we did last night against 6-7 teams in the league it will be enough. i won't disagree with them on that point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 From that article: The gradual decline in pressure on Scholes was replicated elsewhere on the pitch, as Newcastle seemed to tire extremely quickly. This was evident both when defending and attacking – when without the ball they were slower to close down and sloppier in their defensive positioning, and when they looked to build attacks, the likes of Carroll and Barton both charged forward to find the rest of their teammates simply trying to catch their breath.

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We can take more positives than expected from the game, such as our defending (not including Perch). Once again though our problem is our midfield sits so far back and is so static we invite pressure. 3-0 was a fair result but it was far from a disaster.

Guest andrew Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We did well to not get completely destroyed- my ratings: Harper 5- Perch-4- Williamson- 6.5 Coloccini 6 Jose 6 Routledge 6 Smith 5 Barton 4 Guti 4 Nolan 3 Carroll 6 Carroll played very well, but had such a hard job on his own up front.

TRon Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Perch looks lightning quick so he might turn out to be a decent defender. The problem is he offers fuck all going forwards, and with our static midfield that just compounds the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 No. Pace doesn't make a defender. If physical attributes were more important than brains, Bramble would be one of the best defenders in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Our right side looked very weak last night. Although I thought Routledge looked quite exciting at times in the first half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Harper 5 - Could've done slightly better for the first and much better for the third. Perch 4 - Shocking the the first half, slightly better in the second. Williamson 7 - Our MOTM. Had Rooney's number. Colo 6 - Reading the game better than he did in his last stint in the top flight but made it slightly too easy for Fletcher to turn and shoot for the second. Jose 6 - Had a good battle with Valencia, dropped a bollock for the third. Routledge 5 - Went down too easily, too often. Always tried to do more than he needed. Smith 4 - Shit. Barton 4 - Shit. Jonas 5 - Doesn't look fully match fit yet. Beat their fullback a few times though but his final ball was surprise, surprise, lacking. Nolan 4 - Shit. Carroll 6 - Chased his own flick ons all day long, looks like a better player on the ball than I gave him credit for. Needs a partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I thought Routledge looked quite exciting at times in the first half Aye I thought that, he should of been helping Perch out a bit more though at the back, he was obviously struggling big time.
