Colocho Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Williamson and Guthrie both superb and for me Guthrie just shades MOTM Were you in the stadium daft lad ? Because if you watched on TV you'll have missed how much ground he was covering to get behind the ball when they were breaking in the first half. Very effective. MOTM.

buzza Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I also thought Guthrie had a very good game last night (on telly of course), worked his socks off.. Why can't we always be up for games like we were last night, it seems our lot only really get going when the big boys come to town, we have to sort out this attitude and get a winning mentality installed...

Hughesy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Excellent game of football with us taking the game to them initially but ending it very much on the defensive. I thought all players did well with even the ineffective Lovenkrands still contributing with hard graft. Colocinni and Tiote were class and deservedly take the plaudits but what about the two players alongside them, Williamson and Guthrie both superb and for me Guthrie just shades MOTM for an incredibly hard working performance which included a lot of skill under pressure. Have to say the ferocity of abuse shown towards Shearer's mate was amazing and I don't totally understand it. He was offered a huge deal - he took it and he was injured a lot, but when he did play he contributed a lot and had an excellent scoring ratio - many of them in vital matches. Never seen one of our pantomine villains given such vitriolic abuse. 26 league goals in 71 league isn't an excellent scoring record... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guthrie had a good game by his usual standards, but in my opinion was by no means the best player on the pitch. If having an average game rather than a crap one is man of the match worthy then yes, you are right, he deserves it. I think that much is obvious to anyone who watched the match at St James' or on TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't have done any better in spinning the incidents to suit his and the his clubs needs. He is the master at this. He always backs up his players in the media even if he knows its bollocks and will deal with it in-house. Simple stuff but the way it should be.

JH Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Benwell Lad and Ronaldo have it spot on like. Guthrie was superb last night. Barton was great but his set pieces let him down again. His free-kicks were laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guthrie had a good game by his usual standards, but was by no means the best player on the pitch. If having an average game rather than a crap one is man of the match worthy, then yes, he wins it. I think that much is obvious to anyone who watched the match at St James' or on TV. Defining the "best player on the pitch" in a B&W shirt last night is very difficult as there were a lot of very good and very gutsy performances. Much of what I based my opinion of Guthrie's performance on was a superb work rate and lung busting runs to track ManU breaks when we were pressing early on. This is not as easy to gauge on TV as it is from the stands. He also showed excellent composure when receiving the ball under pressure in the 2nd half. Anyway it seems that behind your politician like question dodging the answer to the question is probably "no". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Barton was great but his set pieces let him down again. His free-kicks were laughable. Was thinking last night, whenever we get a free kick more often than not Enrique stands over it with Barton and Guthrie (when Guthrie's playing). Has Enrique ever actually taken a free kick, a shot on goal one i mean, or does he just fancy himself as a bit of a billy big balls? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Must say, I thought Guthrie was MOTM after Colo and Jonas. don´t think anyone really overshadowed the rest of the team with his performance - it was an overall very good performance. Thats why this team almost every game are very enjoyable to watch. The team-spirit can take a team very far. Its important Pardew keep this intact (what Hughton started). So buy wisely....the players attitude is so very important imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So making 'lung-bursting' runs and being composed when receiving the ball, but doing little with it is MOTM worthy? Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
