joeyt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Begovic was the no brainer signing for us this summer at 10m. Absolutely. Unless he had some desire to return to the South coast we should have been all over that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Made a couple of cracking saves but let's concentrate on him taking a couple of micro seconds too long on a goal kick instead of the far more important issues of us being absolutely pathetic in the oppositions half of the pitch. This is Newcastle online after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Newcastle online after all. Which saves were they? Tipped one over the bar that was going in and made an absolutely great save to hold a shot taken from close quarters by King or Wilson or think. Could have easily been a goal if he didn't hold it.

joeyt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 That save he tipped over the bar you'd expect any keeper to save. Can;t remember the other one. EDIT: What SanToon said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 He makes about 2-3 saves a game and people point to it as though he's saved our skin. A non league keeper would make a few saves ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect literally any keeper down to the championship to make both of those saves. We are talking premier league here, all keepers will make the regulation saves. It's the other stuff that sets them apart I was just answering the question of what saves, I haven't actually read the discussion. I probably wouldn't disagree with this.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The only player to clap the fans at the end. Not sure how today’s loss was his fault, but I’m sure it will be somehow. He’s very average but he’s the best GK we have - it’s not like Joselu where we have a much better option on the bench. What do people want? Elliot to be dropped so we can watch Darlow drop the ball, pass it to the opposition striker, miskick it and let shots go through him? His kicking is crap, we know. He’s not the most agile, we know. He’s not the quickest to distribute it, we know. But he made a zero contribution to our defeat today and no idea why he consistently receives more stick than others who have put it totally pathetic performances that have contributed significantly to our defeat.

Crumpy Gunt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 He's fucking rubbish. Too small, too slow. Had me fucking screaming today to deliver quicker. Waited til every player was back in position before releasing it. Fucking twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I find it laughable, when posters are calling Elliot s***. s*** would mean he makes mistakes all the time, and we've conceded 20 goals this season. That's not the case. He's clearly not s***, he's average. He's not costing us any points, he makes some decent saves but of course, he does have flaws. Our front 2 have scored 3 goals all season FFS. That is the big f***ing problem here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of occasions when we had a 2v2 and he didn’t punt it towards Joselu who was winning his fair share in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Literally not a single post saying its all his fault. Not one. So we can't criticise a single aspect of his game? LOL It was sarcasm, mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is disputing that our forward play is garbage thats why every player is getting slammed. One throwaway remark about elliot's kicking and its like he's been called the worst keeper in the history of the game You're making the mistake of simply going with the crowd on here. He's average, although I've seen far worse NUFC keepers, but he's done ok this season and, I repeat, our main concern is down the other end of the pitch.
