Ronaldo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Course I do, he's well past his best and to some extent it's sad to see. Still think he's easily good enough for us, though. At least for this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 They have though by and large performed extremely well as a pairing, as has the back four. I agree with your overall point though, with a midfield as weak as ours today, the defence regardless of who is playing, will always struggle. Mind the forwards contributed to that as well as they were extremely impotent. I agree, even Carroll wasn't working like he has done but like Tiote, he was playing the game of 2 players.

At least for this season. That's where I'll have to disagree. I hope I'm wrong though as I've always liked Sol as a player and character. I think in terms of experience he might bring more to this club than actual performances on the pitch though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Sol has been decent to be fair thi season when he's covered bar today, in which admitedly he was woeful. Certainly wouldn't say he's passed it yet, not the player he was by a long shot mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Play him every game and you are as good as down, (as a neutral, after today), he is so slow. I know injuries and suspensions are forcing your hand but he is not up to it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The performance as a whole was unacceptable. People weren't saying he was finished last week, or after his performance at Manchester City as well. I understand emotions are high, but some of this is knee-jerkism at its finest. Even more so than my opinion on Carroll's performance against Man City in 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 We won't be playing him every game, though. I would be surprised if he made much more than 10 starts for us in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 He's started one league game and one cup game before today. He's also had reserve games and didn't look short of pace away to the Mackems. He looked very fast and pulled us out of the shit a few times with his pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 His pace is fine. It's his agility that's shit the bed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 His running isn't slow exactly, he's heavy but gets across ground well. I agree, his turning speed is slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I don't respect this place enough, was expecting to come on here and be controversial when I said he was no good. He was pretty excellent against Chelsea, though - I can see him being good against slower build-up style teams and worse when stretched due, as has been said, to his agility I suppose. Maybe Collocini playing a more intelligent version of Taylor's mad-arsed role could see Campbell play better in these kinds of matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 As opposed to in goal or upfront? He'd be as much use there tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I don't think he was decent at all today, thought he was slow and really poor, trying to look calm dosn't always mean you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 So he's had one good game and one bad game. Yes, he was appalling today. But the whole team was. He's clearly going to have lost a bit of his physical abilities. But I'm willing to give him a bit more time than one bad game after months of not playing.
