Chase Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 His hold up play was fairly good but anything after that was just rubbish. He can stop the ball when someone lumps it up to him but straight after that he just loses control and gives it straight back, he also looked uninterested.

TRon Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Funnily enough, despite he's complete lack of ability to threaten the opposition goal, i thought he did fairly well holding the ball up. He did. The problem is when we get the ball in dangerous areas he doesn't get into goal scoring positions so there's no one on the end of some really inviting passes/crosses. I thought we worked the ball into some great positions today but we needed a striker who can spot the space and you'll never get that from Ameobi no matter how hard he works according to Pardew.

wormy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 His hold up play was good when he actually got the ball. The problem was how many balls flew up to him that he didn't recieve. As much a complaint about the likes of Krul hitting and hoping as well as a slight on Shola's aerial ability, or will to actually fight for stuff, whatever you want to call it.

Guest andrew Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 it actually is embarrassing having him at the club. honestly rather have lovenkrands, least we can't play long ball then and he works harder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Was a typical Shola performance really. The bit towards the end where he like controlled it, then kneed it out of touch just summed the bloke up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 But if you take into account his starts vs. goals he's not actually that bad you're all just being awfully mean [/sewelly] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 He did hold the ball up well on a couple of occasions, but from an attacking point of view he was pretty damn garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Funnily enough, despite he's complete lack of ability to threaten the opposition goal, i thought he did fairly well holding the ball up. Agree. At no point looked even remotely like scoring which is a big problem - though I doubt his inclusion/retention had anything to do with that. Usual overkill on his performance as per.

johnnypd Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 He did hold the ball up well on a couple of occasions, but from an attacking point of view he was pretty damn garbage. I agree he did well on about 4 or 5 occasions. and when i say "well" i mean he did the very basic tasks a pro footballer at any level should be able to do in controlling the ball and making a very simple pass to someone wearing the same shirt colours as him. apart from these startling moments of class he was dire.

Neil Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Highlight had to be near the end when he was looking to get on the end of a chance but someone headed it away, and he still fell over for no reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I actually hate him at times because it looks like he doesn't care, I'm sure he does and that's just his style, but fuck me it's frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
