Klaus Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Would have him as a sub, to help close out games, covering Santon which he does very well. However he offers very little going forward now and that is the most important aspect of the position he plays, hopefully Marv is fit asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If you thought Jonas was excellent on Tuesday night you've absolutely no right to complain about the football we play for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The only good thing about Jonas is his ability to win a free kick. I'd bring him on against teams with 10 minutes to go when we are 1 up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have never liked a player as much as I like Jonas. Despite the fact he's always been fairly limited as a player, there's just something really loveable about the bloke. Even now in his current state of seemingly permanent shitness I just can't bring myself to dislike him. In other words, I want to feed him pitted olives and stroke his hair whilst he soothingly hums some unknown Latino tune in his beautiful nasal voice.

Dokko Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So Jonas is vital as he got in the way of the ball, once. Amazing Sure we can find someone else who can stand still for a 1,000th of the cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If you thought Jonas was excellent on Tuesday night you've absolutely no right to complain about the football we play for the rest of the season. If you read that quote, the only aspect of his game which was praised was his running and defensive work, and that's basically why Pardew keeps picking him. No one claimed he'd played excellent football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He is going through a bad patch of form, but he does that. Funnily enough he flies when the team flies and sinks when we sink. With the club sinking recently I haven't written him off yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He is going through a bad patch of form, but he does that. Funnily enough he flies when the team flies and sinks when we sink. With the club sinking recently I haven't written him off yet! This is easily the longest spell of bad form he's had for us. And during those other bad spells, he's looked a lot more mobile than he does now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He was worse in the relegation season in my opinion. That's open to opinion, but I don't think anyone can deny he looks much less mobile than he has ever done, which is my biggest worry with him. He's always put a shift in defensively, and whilst his attacking has always been hit and miss, he was very good at carrying the ball and was pretty quick. He offers bugger all going forward now.

Don't you think that's because he plays deeper now as part of a defensive 4-3-3? Not particularly to be honest, he still has occasional opportunity to get forward and have a go at his man, and he looks like he has no confidence in his ability to beat his man, and it's sad to say he looks a lot slower now. He also doesn't seem to win anywhere near as many free kicks as he used to, which was always vital for us as it relieved pressure on us. I've banged this drum enough times now, but I think Enrique leaving/Ryan Taylor playing left back has contributed massively to his downfall. He protected (very well might I add) Raylor whilst he was left back, but pretty much sacrificed any attacking responsibilities he had. Since then it's like he's forgotten how to attack.

Elliottman Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He was worse in the relegation season in my opinion. Was he bollocks, at least he attempted to carry the ball then. He is contributing nothing to us at the minute, he needs to be removed from the first 11 at the earliest possible opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I get the criticisms of Jonas but I do think some views are harsh. He was one of the main reasons we looked a cut above in the championship and despite a dip in form over the last 12 months is as commited as anybody. He's no Iniesta and at the same time at his best he isnt/wasnt half as limited as people make out. People who are waxical lyrical about the club needing to get rid whilst hailing the likes of Ryan Taylor as a fantastic squad player (I agree to extent fwiw) need to give their heads a shake. Its possible he's reaching his autumn years but he still has a role to play at this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Alan Smith is the single worst player I've ever seen in a shirt. There not comparable imo. Jonas shouldnt start on current form however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The relative quality of him, Colo (particularly) and the goals of Nolan were a big factor. He looked out of place for the better in the championship. Certainly wasn't Alan Smith and Nicky Butt as media oulets would tediousy convey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
