Guest bimpy474 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well we all love him and he does love the club of that i'm sure, but like a cat that's been mown down by a tractor, while it still clings to life and you want to save it. You can't, take out your killing tool and put it out of it's misery. That i'm afraid it what needs to happen to old Jonas, he is now a below par Championship level, average plodder.

Dave Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Pardew doesn't dare withdraw his workrate from the side. Actual fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Pardew doesn't dare withdraw his workrate from the side. Actual fact. True but Pardew needs to see that a top 6 side needs workrate and quality, i'm afraid old yella has only one. As much as i hate to say this about one of my own players, sometimes i wish he'd get a little thigh strain or calf pull. Ashamed to say that but there you go.

littlelunchbox Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Did pretty good today , particularly the first half he was faultless but he was given alot of space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Pardew doesn't dare withdraw his workrate from the side. Actual fact. He will once Hatem's back. Guarantee it. Did well today, for me. Right decision to leave him on when we were throwing everyone forward as well. It's not conventional, but its working for now.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If we had a capable cover for Hatem he wouldn't be starting fact is this is our wide options. Gouffran(Obertan) Ben Arfa(Jonas) you could argue about Marveaux but its painfully obvious Pardew doesn't see him as anything other than a AM. Once Ben Arfa comes back and we have better depth i highly doubt Jonas will be starting much. I might be extremely naive but i truly believe the reason he plays is because we have little other choice, you have to realise that our striker and winger options are f*cking dire.

I think you're right, we don't have many other options in wide positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 As part of a squad I'm happy to have him; his workrate is invaluable in the tougher away games and fixtures against the top 5 or 6 teams. But there's no way he should be playing 90 minutes every single week, it's absolutely ludicrous that he still is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thought he was playing in defence second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He didn't do much wrong yesterday, I just don't think he has much to offer against teams who offer as little going forward as Stoke. I still think he has a role to play against better teams with attacking wingers and fullbacks, but he's more or less a wasted player against these kind of teams.

ExiledGeordie Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He doesn't do anything badly wrong at the moment but the lack of an attacking threat down whichever side he's on is clear as the day to see. Desperately need more attacking impetus to stretch the field a lot more with someone like HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He certainly wasn't a liability, he just wasn't of any particular use in defence nor attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He doesn't hide - and we all know he's going to be dropped soon or later as soon as Hatem is back. But he made some good plays here and there yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote's job is to boss the midfield, when he stops doing that he'll be out of the side. Jonas is a wide forward, what should his job be, and does he provide it?

mozy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That isn't his role though, never has been. Even when we first signed him, he was always a 4-4-2 winger noted for his workrate and protection of his fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He's not a winger either, though. He's like the lad who turns up just to make the numbers up, knows it, and runs round like a little dog all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's ridiculous he can't even take on a player nowadays, his body is letting him down badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Having a player who can't cross, assist or score goals playing as part of a front 3 is pretty ridiculous. Especially for a team that's already lacking creatively any way. Should be a priority to upgrade him in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He nearly scored a very nice goal TBF. I agree he isn't a good fit for the wide forward role any more though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
