Guest neesy111 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I know its mostly to vent frustration on the useless kyent, but his 'talent' doesnt need much more debate. Thing that I ponder is how people outside of NUFC rate this charlatan Quite highly somehow, ManUSA fans always asked why we weren't playing him at end of last season. I used to get very angry and just say he's one the worst signings in NUFC's history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hopefully if we manage to progress as a football club the likes of Alan Smith, players on high wages completely out of proportion with their ability will be a thing of the past.

Got another 2 season for that to happen with Allardyce and him putting some players on 5 year wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 No he didnt. Smith lost his place in the team to injury and suspension. The main point of his post seems to be that we played better once Smith wasn't playing and I agree with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 If a defeat means you finally have an excuse to drop Smith and/or Nolan, is it really a defeat? Yes, but you know what i mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't even need to get that extreme though. Quite simple is Hughton shouldn't be playing him while better options are their. While this happens Hughton will be criticised and rightly so IMO.

That debate's been had elsewhere though. We should've changed the team that just hammered Aston Villa and gained a creditable draw against Wolves? That would've sent an even worse message out to the team, that no matter what they do, they're not going to win him over and challenge Ben Arfa for his place, even though he's proven nothing so far in a black and white shirt.

TheGuv Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ben Arfa has proved it now though, best player on the pitch for us yesterday in only 18 minutes. If Hughton knew BA and Tiote were good in training and Carroll seemed to rave about him, it's a no brainer tbh. Always pick your best team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Tiote and Ben Arfa trained for the first time on Thursday didn't they? Regardless of ability it would have been daft to put them in the starting XI. No question that the subs should have been from half-time though.

Doesn't contribute anywhere near as much as Nolan on or off the pitch, but still a vital part of the team spirit - can't find a good a reason to change the team following the first 3 games but would happily drop him for the next game as yesterday's performance wasn't all that great.

Up until yesterday I would have said Smith has played better than Nolan and unlike Nolan I had no problem with him starting. Having said that, he should have been off in the first half when he was chasing shadows and contributing absolutely nothing to the game. The team spirit didn't do us much good against Blackpool; it's worthless if the players perform the way they did yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, i could think of lots of lower league clubs which have a very good team spirit. Doesn't make them premiership footballers though sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Unfortunately team spirit won't prevent the ref giving a pen when you clatter someone 5 mins late in the penalty area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I am so glad that people are so unanimous and angry about this. If we did not have alternatives you could put up with it. But we have just signed two top young internationals and proceeded to leave them out. Why! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
