joeyt Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Who was that assist against, where he like threaded the eye of a needle? they showed it on MOTD a few times, it was crazy. Stoke I think for a last minute Cisse winner Pretty sure he played really well at the Emirates too before we crumbled to lose 7-3 or something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Pretty sure he led the team in assists despite only having a few runs in the team the Europa League season. Makes sense to never play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Pretty sure he led the team in assists despite only having a few runs in the team the Europa League season. Makes sense to never play him. Aye. Looked a promising #10 in that season. That was also the season Pardew played Sissoko incessantly as a #10 despite having 3 great games to a dozen bad ones. In that same Stoke game Marv got that great assist Sissoko was awful as #10 for the majority of the game. Ended up with a pass completion rate around 67%. Marv came on, skipped past players, knew the exact time to make the pass, kept it simple when needed then provided the killer ball when the opportunity presented itself. Obviously benched next game, probably didn't even get on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Been s**** in France it looks, unfortunately only ever saw glimpses of him being a decent player at SJP. He's not exactly had much impact in France this season. In their absence some players have been elevated well above their actual worth in the minds of some fans. Having said that, considering who we've been playing in midfield this season he'd have probably played quite a few games for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Always thought he had something about him, but like many others was never given the opportunity to show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The French Colback. Available on a free, potential to "do a job" and if the worst comes to the worst they can move him on for a modest fee without losing too much in the process. He's collateral damage in the club's grand scheme of things. It'll be "fuck him, move him on for whatever we can get" just as it was with M'Biwa and Santon.

Marmoset Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 He should've had more opportunities but he was no great shakes imo. I prefer his type of player to the graft first creativity second sort, but I don't think he ever looked anything special in the admittedly little time that he got. That's obviously not to say he wasn't better than some of the players chosen ahead of him, and wouldn't have been better under a different manager in a different system, but I won't be gutted if he leaves.

Sammys_Tekkers Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 His assist in the Arsenal game was a thing of beauty. Still one of my favourite assists ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 He's a talented player, but his contribution when not in possession was downright offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career has been a massive disappointment, the guy was never particularly good for NUFC. He has been missed, though. De Jong would have been a fantastic replacement, imo, but this has of course been a complete disaster. It woould have been prudent to keep him as cover, though, as the most creative player in the team was essentially exiled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Was he the one who assisted Cisse's winner against Fulham? I remember him going ballistic after one of his assists and I think it was that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Was he the one who assisted Cisse's winner against Fulham? I remember him going ballistic after one of his assists and I think it was that one. If it's the game we played at St James' in the season we finished 16th, then I think it might have been Hatem with that assist. Little dinked ball over the back 4, into the box, and Cisse volleys while slipping to smash home? Edit: Actual I'm thinking of that last minute winner, where Pardew celebrated like he had won the PL. Cabaye got that assist I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Was he the one who assisted Cisse's winner against Fulham? I remember him going ballistic after one of his assists and I think it was that one. You're thinking of Stoke I think. Fulham was either a deflected Cabaye shot that fell to Cisse or a Ben Arfa cross and Cisse header, depending on which season you're thinking of.
