Jagten Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Call me old fashioned but i like my winger to have a go at a full back and get a cross in, Shitebulb does neither with equal excellence....what exactly is the point of him being on the pitch if so. To make Gutierrez look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Does it count the one he lost with the ref? That was brilliantly crap, he ran at the stationary ref and lost the ball and just looked at him as if the ref came from nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he just stopped was like he was surprised the ref didn't play the clever 1-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if Jonas as he is at the moment not playing his best, he still works hard, Obertan doesn't put a shift in at all, so much so it was shameful yesterday, he just doesn't chase a ball down especially if he is the one who loses it.

Fenham Mag Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think his injury will give a huge boost to the lads.

thenige Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There's potential in him to be a decent footballer but I'll be damned if anyone ever makes him live up to it.

Newcastle Fan Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Correct me if i'm wrong but i remember one of United's youngsters last season saying he thought he wasn't good enough to play for them.. was it him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Usually a winger/player has atleast one redeeming quality, Obertan doesn't seem to have any and worse still he doesn't even seem to be able to make his speed count. Been a shite signing so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The only effective thing he is currently doing is detracting attention away from the ineffective guti. But i suppose it is ok as he works back and plays as a 'defensive winger'..... Mind you it would be better if we had a LB who could defend and a winger who could attack.

Dave Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He's actually got a few tricks with the ball at his feet, problem is he never uses them to actually beat a man or go anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, both are fucking woeful and a player like Ben Arfa will never properly flourish playing up front in this 4-4-2 with the likes of Jonas and Obertan on the wings.

Mind you it would be better if we had a LB who could defend and a winger who could attack. he wasn't always like that though was he? he got a lot of praise when i read on here quite rightly last year for a lot of his displays going forward and attacking. definitely misses enrique though, not sure whether the raylor effect has left him jaded and in that defensive mindset as he doesn't want to commit even when going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Remember when we had Solano and Robert on the wings. Wonder how many Ba would be scoring if he had the service they would provide. At the minute we may aswell have four fullbacks on the pitch and still they all seem shite, with Santon being the exception. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They complimented each other well, and their work both offensively and defensively was very good. But without jose he seems somewhat lost, and struggles to make his mark on a large proportion of our games. I could be being harsh in suggesting he has lost a yard of pace...

I know it sounds like it's just over-the-top criticism of the guy, but i honestly see no redeeming features. I can see what he means, Obertan's got a few fancy tricks and pace to burn. Unfortunately he also has a heart the size of a pea - I don't even think it's an issue of lacking a football brain. I know it's early days but for me he's another Routledge, over-awed and probably needs to be at a less high profile club. With the ability and pace he has at his disposal he should be tearing defenders a new one but usually he just fades miserably into the background.
