Miercoles Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Second goal there was fucking sweet. Also, it's funny, I watch so many Newcastle games I think I've forgotten what a headed goal looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a thought though, We don't seem to score many headers while being a supposed physically big team. Do we score fewer headers than most ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of expected Burn to be good with his head from set pieces etc, but heading is probably his worst asset Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Papiss Cisse, man. What a story. From world class striker stats for six months to being unable to hit a cows arse with a banjo. I still loved him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set pieces I dunno, but it is frustrating. As for open play, not a single one of our wingers can put in a cross to save their life, so that's probably that mystery solved.

Palestoon Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Will always love papiss, So frustrating at times, but you couldnt hate him because he was such a likable fella. Would go from wondering to how he was a professional footballer to pulling out something worldclass in the same breath haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame he lost his confidence from whatever happened to him in the summer of 2012. Honestly think Pardew is deserves a lot of blame for ruining a very promising striker. He tried to change him as a player. We had a lethal finisher, a goal poacher of the highest order, someone who played the entire match lurking around the opponents box just waiting and waiting for any chance. Then Pardew started demanding more from him from a defensive point of view. Start trying to get him to track back and totally changed the man's game even start playing him on the wing at one point. If we had a proper class manager in charge like we do now he would have continued to be a success I have no doubt. But Pardew ruined him and ruined him good. He's been damaged goods now for 4 years but least he's got a nice pension in China. It also didn’t help Pardew not subbing him and asking him to play WB whilst limping as he’d broken his kneecap 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Demba, Tiote, Hatem and Cabaye in the same side. It was like all of them came together to create a perfect storm, not sure any of them would have been great at different points in their career. And that fraud Pardew probably added 6 years to his managerial career on the back of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Will forever be gutted he didn't continue to hit the heights of those first 6 months. The way he came in and smashed it, and how he genuinely loved the city and the area, and that smile, it would have been something special for him to be a bit of a footballing legend for us. We didnt help him with the shocking managers we gave him, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
