Jordan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Far too deep yet again, we need to stop trying to keep 1-0 leads with the attackers we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Our only real threat and out-ball yet again. It reminds me of Jonas a few seasons ago, except obviously he's better at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Defended quite well. Probably spent too much energy there though, looks knackered whenever going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I thought he was fine today tbh. I thought it was generally accepted that he will lose the ball a fair bit, but what he otherwise provides is far more important? At the end of the day, he set up our only goal with sublime skill that no one else in our team could've managed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Need some how to keep him in more forward positions. It's such a waste of his talent seeing him defend so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He is looking leggy atm, the little fizz he had in his step at the start of the season is gone. Perhaps he's being overworked defensively but even his decision making is looking a little lax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Had the odd good moment, less so than earlier in the season though. Not in his top form atm, think he couldve done better with that counter when he decided to cut inside two players rather than pass to Cisse/shoot first time.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 he looks like he lost a yard of pace, still not at his best. good work for the goal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 he looks like he lost a yard of pace, still not at his best. good work for the goal though. always looks faster at the ball. He seems to get outmuscled fairly easy by defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I would agree that he looks a bit tired in matches. He puts in a shift every game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Worst game for us in a while (and he still set up a goal), I'd suggest giving him a little rest if we had anyone who could remotely deputise for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Similar to WBA really. Wasteful and too deep, but one bit of quality that got us the points (not to take away from Cabaye's sublime finish). By far and away our most important player.

Jordan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hope he loves us as much as we do him. Soon enough he'll figure out he's far too fucking good for us. Amazing attacking player playing as a fucking wing back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It must be said mind, that he very rarely gets the ball in that position where he set the goal up. You could tell they both thought he was going inside but he's actually got a competent right foot, very nice bit of skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 his style of dribbling got figured out today imho, against those nimble players liverpool got he couldn't just turn faster and accelerate. This put aside, I was abit dissapointed, didn't do much on the ball, tried few creative passes on the whole. Got out of awkward situations a few times though.
