GeordieT Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I thought he did OK, but tired towards the end. Certainly prepared to have a go at his fullback and get some crosses in. Is he the new target for the boo-boys now his brother has gone? Lost possession 26 times today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The lack of any final ball from him should be enough to drop him. He just doesn't produce the cross or pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The lack of any final ball from him should be enough to drop him. He just doesn't produce the cross or pass. He put 2/3 decent balls in to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He really is an awful footballer. Very one-footed and only has one idea for beating a player- try and skin him on the outside. He doesn't put in a good cross either which makes him even more painful to watch. Went to college with a lad who player with him up to reserve level at NUFC. He said he just couldn't believe it when SA got a call up to England U21's and got kept on at the club. On performances like today you can see why. If he got chosen over me I'd be fucking raging.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He's not really been at the races for a while now, bar the odd flash. He does need to mix it up when taking on defenders, at least keep the full back guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I wouldn't put any blame on him because aside from too many dodgy first touches (particularly in the first half) I thought he did okay at what he tried to do, or did. It's more that even when what he tries comes off it's indicative of the level that we're now aiming for; running in a straight line, getting to the byline and getting a cross in...that's it.

sixx Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He really can't be a first choice winger for a Premiership side. He tries and sometimes comes up with a good cross but he isn't a creative outlet and not much of a goal threat either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 No one bats an eyelid man. We start players like him, Colback, Gouffran, Taylor and Williamson and bench or banish the likes of Ben Arfa, Cabella, Anita and Yanga-Mbiwa. What is there to say about it? You just get the same people sticking up for it with the same incorrect, brainwashed guff, from Pardew's mouth to theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Absolutely useless today, nowhere near Premier standard, couldn't even trap the ball FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Offers literally nothing. The odd flash once a game, here or there but he's totally ineffective. Doesn't score, doesn't create, loses possession regularly and doesn't really protect his FB. But he's cheap and was born in the right place so he gets away with it.

Kanj Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've given him too much credit after some decent performances this season. God get Aarons fit and stick him wide left for the rest of the season, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He puffs as if he runs about a lot which he does not. Came off today and looked knackered as hell which he was not. Pisses me that he is just like bro Shola and can't control the fucking ball when it comes to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd miss an easy touch from a ball rolling to him and then he pulls some class touches out of the bag when a challenging ball comes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He was decent on the whole yesterday, but i stand by what I said about him before in that he has one style of play which is byline and cross. Aarons has more to his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarons has more to his game. He wasn't decent at all, he was abysmal. Every move after a Sammy touch was a throw in. Because he's willing to try and take his man on, after being put in unfavorable situations for attacking players under the shite formation/tactics that Pardew plays. With Dummett behind him there's no other threat on the left flank meaning teams can just double/triple him and nullify his dribbling and footwork. Personally I think it's a good option for a team to have a direct 'proper winger' on one side with a roamer on the other, and Sammy is a decent direct winger.

He barely even tried to bring the ball past people yesterday and 95% of the time either went no where ran into someone, dribbled it out of play or something equally shite... Also if you think it's a good idea to have a roamer- and by that I guess you mean gouffran you need your head checking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
