TRon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 In the wider context of our game he's great for opening up teams on the counter attack. His pace is what we missed last year, and why I believe we traded Routledge for him, because the former simply wasn't providing that. He seems to be providing what Dyer did during the Robson days. Dyer had his critics but Solano used to pick the ball up from deep and slip a pass to Dyer and he was away. Teams never knew what hit them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 He's consistently improved with every start, was a big fret today. This is rife for a pun, surely? Most of the forum comedians must have mist it... A post worthy of there's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 He was really good today, kept running at them the whole 90 minutes, if only he can sort his final product out he'll be an amazing buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGupter Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You should have heard some of the stuff I was calling him during the first half, he was fucking worse than cancer in the first half, absolutely fucking embarrassing. 2nd half he was actually respectable and almost, almost impressed me on a couple of occasions.

Guest Dontooner Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Exceeded my expectations today...underrated player by many in this forum... His physical presence and playing style is really good for the team now. He wins some headed balls..his attacking very direct...and he cuts inside very well..although he needs to play consistently at this standard ... to justify his starts. Just needs to sort out his crossing...and he would be a wonderful player for us. He could be one of those players that proves his doubters wrong..

Foluwashola Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Looked threatening when running at the defence, unsurprisingly. His distribution is going to be massively frustrating though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Improving every game - not surprising given how little he has played for two years. Keep it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Good in the air. Good pace for counter attacking. Some nice touches. But Doesn't`look after the ball well enough for me and infuriated when giving the ball away a couple of thattimes and not trying to get it back.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 stil annoys me that he just lays it off to Simpson every time theres an opportunity to knock a ball into the box. He did it countless times in the first half. Should work on that part of his game and have a go himself. Wouldn't mind if Simpson could cross like Beckham, but unfortunately Beckham he is not.

Dave Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 stil annoys me that he just lays it off to Simpson every time theres an opportunity to knock a ball into the box. He did it countless times in the first half. Should work on that part of his game and have a go himself. Wouldn't mind if Simpson could cross like Beckham, but unfortunately Beckham he is not. I thought he was pretty good today, but in addition to the above it really annoys me when he has the defender(s) backing off and actually gets into the box with the ball but then lays it back. You're in the box man, just keep going towards goal and force them commit to something! But yeah, much improved. A real threat with his pace and gave us options on the break. Wish we'd put someone higher up the pitch on opponent corners mind. Especially when they only had ten men, was bugging me how we were letting them off on that score.

Guest H09 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 He's getting better thanks to being at a club with a proper manager in Pardew who is sorting him out instead of that Fergie who just says play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Better than Jonas IMO. Our left hand side is our weak side. Calm down, man. Anyway, gotta give it to Obertan. Good game. I don't think it did him any harm to play against Givet though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Gutierrez is better against strong flanks where he can contribute defensively and shield the full back. Obertan looks less good at this but better at giving a weak full back a proper hard time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
