Gallowgate Toon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Dare I say "The Pardew effect" ? both him and Jose plus Simpson have all seemed to have sorted some of the iffy parts of their play. I think cause Pardew likes the fullbacks to get higher up the pitch, Jonas has a bit more space to do his thing. He's not as off balance trying to simultaneously skin 2 players and cross unlike before and it's evident in his new found accuracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't think Simpson's particularly improved, he's been as solid as he's been all season imo. Jonas and Jose have definitely taken it to another level of piss-takery though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't say that. The casino buddy of Llambias has no effect on this bunch of lads. Ok? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon_Mad_Chris Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Jonas was brilliant tonight. Am i right in thinking both assists were crossed with his weaker foot? I know people get frustrated with him because he isn't a traditional English winger, but personally i love the style of player he is. He always plays better with Lovenkrands upfront, maybe because Lovenkrands is willing to make intelligent runs unlike a certain Andy Carroll. I hope when Ben Arfa comes back Gutierrez isn't dropped, i think the link up play between Enrique, Jonas and Ben Arfa could be something special.

Guest NewBoyPeetah Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just watched this game again and Jonas was amazing today, wish he'd scored at the end of that cross pitch run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas looks twice the player with him on the pitch, and some of his assists to Lovenkrands in the Championship were glorious. Could well be that we lack an intelligent striker like Lovenkrands who also has the physical attributes of someone like Ranger or Best. Bestykrands would be an amazing player.

BrettNUFC Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 One of the best left sided partnerships in the premier league as i keep saying. Enrique against Blackburn, Jonas aginst Birmingham, teams can't handle them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 He was absolutely superb last night, and when he's on his game his qualities bring a lot to the team. He's got everthing else, so if he can just continue to develop his crossing as he seems to be doing he'll be a top winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Finally some end product from the lad. If he can keep up crossing the ball regularly from the left he can be a cracking player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 As have been said, if/when he adds end product, he'll be a hell of a player. He did that yesterday; fantastic performance. Shame Cannonballhead made it back to get a touch on the ball when he made his run in the middle of the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, anybody can fluke a few crosses now and again, I've seen him time and time again when he has loads of time to cross it in he balloons it over the top. But what i do like is that it doesn't deter him and he continues to cross it and cross it nice and early sometimes even with his weaker left wheareas some players would probably never cross with their weaker foot.

Mm well people who have watched him mishit cross after cross for 2 and a half seasons maybe... just because he got an assist yesterday, it doesn't suddenly make him become the worlds best crosser now.. does it? 2 assists actually I think the issue with him is he outdoes himself. For most of the time he's been here he's been doing most of the running for the team and to put in a cross at the end off that solo run (surrounded by totally immobile teammates), it's hard to put a cross in. I remember in the championship he put in quite a few good crosses. I think his technique in striking the ball to cross is good, it's just when he tries to outdo himself by doing all the running for the team that he doesn't have the extra effort at the end to get his cross off.

afar Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 He's an enigma for sure. When HBA gets back it'll be interesting to see what pardew does with him, does he play HBA in place of Jonas, or just behind a single striker. Surely we can't move Barton from the right, Nolan and Tiote aren't moving in the middle. Then you add the likes of Ireland and Gosling to the mix, we certainly got options in there.

Why shouldn't we move Barton from the right? As things stand we attack down the left twice as much as we do down the right and Barton really is quite one-dimensional as a winger.
