LRD Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So has Enrique won his first Spanish cap yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Enrique suffered from the same problem with regards to end product as Santon does. I can barely remember any top flight assists from him. He turned into a top class defensive player though, so you don't really care too much when that is the case. Think everybody could see the potential Enrique had from the first game he played, it was inevitable he would come good IMO. I get the same feeling with Santon, only I think in terms of natural talent/skill he's another level up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Enrique's long passing was exceptional at times. The Blackburn away game is probably heralded as his best (certainly where passing is concerned), but I always thought it was excellent. He could get such a brilliant whip on the ball. Short-passing was probably the weakest part of his game because he was often careless in possession around the half-way line. He was a f***ing brilliant player though, I absolutely loved him. Would still have him back tbh, imagine the depth we'd have then . That being said, I'm very curious about Haidara. Got to say that, of all the positions we covered in January, I'd have bet nothing on us getting another left-back. This is on YouTube. He single handedly dominated that game. We should have scored three or four goals from his crosses. Fucking Lövenkrands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No, he was pretty good defensively against Chelsea, then again Jonas was there. Jonas missed most of the Xmas period, coinciding with Santon's poor form. He's come back and Santon has played better. Coincidence? No. Jose & Bernard are miles better than Davide let's behave lads. Still a very promising player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Enrique is the best LB I've seen at Newcastle, but he was far from faultless and he's long gone. Santon certainly has the potential to be better and he's already better going forward imo. Yeah, agree with this as well. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Jonas spent the majority of the game against Chelsea on the right ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Enrique is better defensively and Santon better offensively - sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thrives with players going in the same direction. Dont think he will ever be great defensively. Should get some pre-season games in at centre half, might teach him a thing or two about positioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Italy XI v Holland: Buffon; Abate, Barzagli, Astori, Santon; De Rossi, Pirlo, Montolivo; Candreva [or Diamanti], Balotelli, El Shaarawy. http://www.football-italia.net/30386/prandelli-names-italy-xi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Belgium have more chance of winning a World Cup than France, Italy, Argentina or Holland? Might be completley slated for this, but I'd rate their current squad as better than Holland's and Italy's. With Argentina's defensive fragilties, they're maybe on par with them. France's current crop seem to always implode on big occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
