Dave Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Poor today, but his run won us the match. Credit to the ref for playing the advantage too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He tried and tried thoughout the game but really it wasn't his game today. But, for someone who didn't have a great game, he still had a great game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Poor game by his standards, but he gets little to no support from the rest of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Fantastic player but it's visible even on the television when he's decided "ah, not our day... fuck it." Past a certain point in the game you just knew he was going to lose the ball every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not a chance i'm going to lay into the guy who basically won us the game there. We're in mid-table almost entirely thanks to him and Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thought he played well today, when on the ball he makes the opposition shit themselves. And the winner was all thanks to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Felt like he was trying to drag us through the game today and as a result ended up doing too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Felt like he was trying to drag us through the game today and as a result ended up doing too much. Dragged us into a position to actually score the winner. He's played deep and when he receives the ball he's always got three men on him. Thank God he's so good.

Skirge Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He has really upped his work rate but I still feel we are wasting him on the wings, he needs to be central where he can be free to work his magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Goal run aside, it was a poor performance from him. I honestly don't know what people expect when he receives the ball with back to goal in his own half, with three men on him. He's misplaced at the moment. It's harsh to call him poor when he's not being allowed to play his own game at the moment. Pardew said it's "his world" when he's got the ball, but the boss hasn't allowed it to be having restricted him by a deeper position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The winner was down to him but he's been far from his best lately, lost too many balls and didn't create much. Still by far our best player tough, love him to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the formation he's recieving the ball 20 yards deeper than where he should be. And people are getting miffed he's not scoring Bolton-esque goals every weak. Baffling.

He's one of the most talented players in our squad but whether it's his fault, the rest of the team, Pardew or the opposition, it wasn't a good performance. He's un-fucking-touchable on this forum. He really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He had a decent first half, pretty bad second, but still had a hand in the goal. Least of our worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Looked very good in the first half, gave the ball away far too much in the second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Looked very good in the first half, gave the ball away far too much in the second. They wised up and crowded him out second half aside from the last 5-10. Seemed to play a lot more central that freed him up when Sammy/Obertan came on.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not sure what he's suppose to do when he's deployed so deep, if you look at all players with similar skill and style they all deployed in the final third not in their own half ffs. He can't dribble past the whole team every single bloody week no one can, put Messi in the same position as Ben Arfa and i doubt he would do much better. Players need to be given the platform to succeed and he isn't, i thought he did bloody well considering the circumstances and if it wasn't for him we would not have won the game.
