Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 No way does fasting affect his ability to control a football. ... really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah. And frankly if it does then he shouldn't be picked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Tbf it looks like Sammy eats about once a week and his control is half decent. he eats goals for breakfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah. And frankly if it does then he shouldn't be picked. Try going a day without eating and then doing any physicall activity, it effects everything! which is why i said he should either break his fast or we shouldn't pick him untill after the Fulham game.

Dave Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 No way does fasting affect his ability to control a football. It would like. Why? I can kind of understand the fatigue argument, but basic skills? The post above says Marveaux is observing it too, his touch was perfectly fine. If he loses all ability due to a religious choice then Pardew shouldn't be picking him. What a shit excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going a day without eating and then doing any physicall activity, it effects everything! which is why i said he should either break his fast or we shouldn't pick him untill after the Fulham game. BUT he is eating/drinking at sunset and sunrise and then on match days he eats as normal Ba is just struggling because we are not utilising him properly and his confidence looks a bit shot, needs that first goal asap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah. And frankly if it does then he shouldn't be picked. ... speechless. good grief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah. And frankly if it does then he shouldn't be picked. ... speechless. So if this fasting IS affecting his ability to play, we should just keep picking him then? I don't see what's wrong with what he said tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Aye, Dave's right on this one. If the fasting thing is affecting him so much - which I would presume it would be (to an extent) given the rigorous nutritional plans players have these days - why play him?

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 IF (and it is a big IF) fasting is affecting him then he rightly should not be picked, fairly straight forward, fail to see the speechless element in that comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Far too early to come to that kind of conclusion. He's been pap so far, but hopefully he picks up soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't got time to wait though, we need points on the board in the run up to November while we are playing less hard games (on paper) than after that.

Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I would agree that he has to be given some time but what I have seen of Ba so far has mortified me. The bloke makes Shola look like Pele. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppaz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 When does this fasting s**** finish? Only lasts during daylight hours which is why he should have plans outside the fasting times to get food etc. It's not like this is his first season as a pro football is it? I just don't know why he is so poor. Ramadan ends on the 29th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
