The way he ran to challenge Dzeko despite Williamson already being in close attention was fucking shocking. Other than that, he played really well, but it was such a basic shitty error and it's yet another one we can add to the list.

 

Had Taylor done that they'd the pitchforks would sharpened before the ball hit the back of the net. It's another wtf moment from our supposed leading cb. We desperately need a top class cb brought in, we can't afford to go in to the season with these 4. Mike fucking Williamson is our best bet ATM, it's a tragedy.

Travesty that we shipped as many goals as we did last season and didn't bother to improve the heart of the defense.

Must have been watching a different game, thought he had a good game.

:thup: Other then the first goal where he got sucked in, I don't think he did much wrong. Aguero just had the legs on him for the second goal. Think some of the comments are over the top.

 

:lol: So he played alright, apart from being at fault for the first goal and getting outpaced for the second? He's a defender, it's job 1. He's good on the ball and a very nice passer of the ball, good at intercepting play and I loved him for 2-3 seasons, but he needs to be replaced or phased out to move forward and he's been on the way out for a little while now bar the odd game. Love him, but he needs to go. Of course, under this clown he's our captain (and a terrible one at that) and the first name on the team sheet.

I'll keep saying. If you are half or remotely at fault for the 2 goals that led to our ZERO points you didn't play well. FFS.

 

The first goal was a nice bit of skill by Dzeko, you have to give him some credit for that. The second Aguero got a nice rebound. You could argue Colo should have done better but they were hardly glaring errors.

He's always been prone to covering for other people and leaving space where he should be. I remember him doing that in the 2-1 against Villa in 11/12 and that was when he was at around his peak for us. It's an honest mistake when you have Williamson alongside you, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it as a mistake.

Aye, it's as simple as that, like. Krul should've ensured his save from close range went neatly out for a corner.

 

Honestly, what is it that you are expecting from a CB in that situation against Aguero? Stevie Taylor superslide? He forced him to his weaker foot and a tight angle. Krul has no business directing that weak shot back to Aguero's foot.

I thought that Aguero took his goal brilliantly, he had no right to score but did and sometimes you just have to accept that it was a good goal.

His 2 bad moments in the match were the 2 goals, really getting sucked in to Dzecko for the first and leaving so much space behind him was naive in the extreme, the second, you've really got to anticipate that ball coming back to Aguero and do everything in your power to stop him from getting it. He had an important block from a dangerous move from Jovetic though in the 2nd half but you get judged as a CB on those 2 goals you conceded.

 

The problem we have though is there are simply no effective options to the Colo/Willo partnership, and that's shocking really, both MYM and Saylor have themselves to blame for not showing anything to show they deserve to be in the team ahead of those two. We need to buy, but we won't unless we can move one or more of the 4 senior CBs, whom I would be wouldn't lose any sleep over any of them being sold.

Colo got sucked in on the first goal but I can't believe no one is mentioning Janmaat and Anita on that play. Janmaat was totally asleep while Anita had a jogging contest with the ref which he lost. He was on same level with Jovetic and Silva when the ball was played to Dzeko, yet nowhere to be seen when Silva scored.

This is a good one, it's Krul's fault for saving a shot that occurred because Coloccini is slower than molasses.

He gets outpaced by everyone, that's the problem. He's made Rickie Lambert and Edin Dzeko look like the Brazilian Ronaldo this year.

 

I keep seeing you declare he's finished, but fact is he's never been quick. He's picked more for his reading of the game and because he's a good tackler on the floor. Him and Enrique were a fantastic defensive pair down the left. I don't like Pardew but when he said we defended well today he wasn't wrong. They scored twice but it took some skill to do it.

Fucking hopeless this. Show me one CB in the world who doesn't let Aguero have a shot from that one on one.

I don't think we have a better centre-back at the club than him, certainly not one who has proved it in a Newcastle shirt.

 

We know his strengths and his weaknesses, his closing down can be fantastic sometimes and cost us at others as it did with the first goal today.

 

I think probably best to give him more than one game this season before completely writing him off. Especially as we played the champions and most expensively assembled team in British football history.

Don't give him the time of day man. He has a thing against Colo because of what happened when he went back to Argentina. He only appears on this thread if he's either at fault, or partly at fault, for a goal. The rest of the time when he's playing well, Ronaldo is nowhere to be seen.

There's being slow and being unable to cope with the athletic demands of today's PL.

 

See the comment in the other thread about Dummett's sliding tackle on Clichy 10 minutes after he'd gone past him.

Aye, nothing to do with his crap defending for 2 years which everyone with a hint of sense can see.

Whilst your talking about sense, the bit in bold is just total and utter nonsense. I don't think he's outstanding anymore but he is the best at the club and he shouldn't be blamed for every goal we concede. He'd be better with a more youthful, powerful, quick CB alongside him. I can't continue the conversation any further as it's just the same old regurgitated stuff.
