Bolton 0 - 2 Newcastle United - 26/12/11 - post-match reaction from page 33


Recommended Posts

It feels like this was a very important win for the team. In the second half it really looked like they were about to give up, and for me it felt like the bad run could go on for a long time. And then... Ben Arfa happened. Could be a season-changer that goal.

Great result, any three points away from home is always worthy of praise.

 

Big pros were Williamson looking solid and Ben Arfa getting a goal. Both players are going to be important if we're going to do well in the coming months.

 

Negatives were how poor our wide players looked for much of the game. Credit to Obertan, he kept plugging away and set up the second very well, but for long periods he and Jonas were useless going forward.

Super win, many positives

 

-Hatem's first goal this season and he played class

 

-Williamson played well

 

- Cabaye was class as usual

 

- Good defence even if bolton are terrible

 

- Obertan played great in that 2nd half and got rich applause when he came off

 

- Bring on Liverpool who drew with the worst team in the league

Cabaye wasn't class but Williamson impressed.

Absolutely crucial win there. Not the greatest performance, but dug it out very well.

Class told in the end and HBA has to be given a run now. Understood why we persisted with big men up front to help the defence whilst it was weakened badly, but Willo coming through well should change that thinking now.

Only positive was the win considering that is possibly the worst football game I've ever seen!

Cabaye wasn't class but Williamson impressed.

 

he was man not only did he run the most(7,916) but he made some good passes(again) he put ba through on goal with a great through ball but the keeper was too quick to come out and stop it.

Tim Krul ... 8/10 .. Faultless apart from some dodgy distribution

Danny Simpson ... 7/10 .. Coped well enough with Petrov and got forward

Frabicio Coloccini.. 8/10 .. Had N'gog in his pocket all game

Mike Williamson .. 7/10 .. Looked fantastic on his return

Ryan Taylor ... 7/10 ... Had a good game, fantastic assist

Gabriel Obertan ... 6.5/10 .. Very poor in the first half, came into the game more when HBA was introduced

Yohan Cabaye .. 6/10 .. Passing was rather poor, ran his arse off though

Cheik Tiote ... 5/10 .. Poor tackling, Poor passing, still lacking sharpness

Jonas Gutierrez ... 6/10 .. Not offering much going forward and some poor tackles

Demba Ba .. 7/10 .. Good Goal and a good presence, same as always

Leon Best ... 4/10 .. Nothing went for him today, always offside or tripping over.

 

HBA .. 8/10 .. Fantastic goal + transformed the game

Tiote fouled a lot but his passing wasn't poor at all he completed more than 15 passes!
