Mick Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Because you know nothing about football perhaps? If you can't see his value after watching Cisse's limp wristed efforts uptop by himself for so long then you're watching the wrong sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I know what Mick means, Shola is playing his role pretty well but he still looks out of his depth IMO. Not that it matters as long as the system is functioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thought he was pretty average today, was really poor in the air (hardly won a header all afternoon against their CB) and strolled around the pitch unlike last week where he bust a gut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I know what Mick means, Shola is playing his role pretty well but he still looks out of his depth IMO. Not that it matters as long as the system is functioning. The vast majority of his career he has been either shyte or ridiculously inconsistent. The occasional flash of form (often against the mackems) has just made the crap he mostly serves up seem even more annoying. He had a decent and consistent few months under Roeder (scored some goals too) but he nacked his hip so that was game over for a while. Recently I think he has looked like an international striker (no goals for us yet) - and I disagree that he looks out of his depth. Guess he must want to go to Brazil.

Beren Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Are people so entrenched in their views they can't admit he's doing well - as though doing so would invalidate any past justified criticisms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I like that he's getting to play a part in what will likely be his last season here - just need a penalty in the home derby to seal the legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 If it his last season, we need to have a Wrestlemania-esque "World Cup 2014" sign for him to look up at on the final day of the season at full-time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Are people so entrenched in their views they can't admit he's doing well - as though doing so would invalidate any past justified criticisms? He's doing very well relative to his past performances in the side and is fulfilling an important role in the system, but he hasn't played exceptionally well or anything. Even when he is on good form like this, Shola still has some glaring limitations and provides very little in the way of goal threat. His performances in the last months or so for club...and country have surprised me, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 He's never been as bad as people on here have made out in reality, and he's not that good now either. He's giving us some aerial presence though, and in a Pardew team that's important. Cissoko was MOTM for me, but I'm happy enough for Shola to get it, he played his part.

DJ_NUFC Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This SHOULD be his last year in professional football, things are not gonna get anymore better than this year for him. At least fitness wise he won't look any sharper, unless he plans on doing a Giggs. Anyways, we should have replaced Ba a long time ago with a similar targetman. Can you just imagine how a fit Carroll would've fit into this team? :tinhaton: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
