Skirge Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Drop the disinterested twat, he may have agreed to wear the shirt but in no way is he playing in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Beginning to conclude that he just isn't very good, his poor form has gone on so long it's becoming hard to think anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 How long did it take him to score his first goal last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 We're playing with 10 men. No presence upfront. Actually in the 2nd half he had more of a presence up front than anyone else did, him winning the corner for us as he was taken off is telling of this manager. Wrong decision to bring him off.

BONTEMPI Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Never been the same since he had that long stint on the wing. Totally fucked him up. Pardew is to blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Could have done with another striker, like. Think it's time for him to sit a couple out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Never been the same since he had that long stint on the wing. Totally f***ed him up. Pardew is to blame. Long stint? It was no more than 6 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 He's shocking and I don't really ever foresee him getting back to form here under this manager or even this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This is more than a loss of form now, its time to bench him. But we wont. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no more than 6 games. That is a long stint for a striker. A strikers confidence is always a fragile thing, you don't f*** with that when they are in good form. It wasn't six games, it was four at the very most (including games where he played a part of it out wide). It wasn't a stint either, as they weren't successive games. And it wasn't the start of his bad form either, as he had been shit for weeks, maybe months before the first time he was played wide. So all in all, that's a great post Bontempi..

sempuki Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Very poor today, virtually anonymous - even Strolla would struggle to be as bad as that. Makes the decision not to sign a forward ludicrous verging on tragic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Looks lost atm and if Shola was fit he probably would be on the bench. It says something when Shola is outperforming him this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I just think he's been promoted to his highest level of incompetence. He doesn't have enough to his game to hack it for a team that's trying to get into the top half of the Premiership. It feels like he half knows it, but isn't battling hard enough, like he's bought into the idea that the service is the problem, not him. Form is nothing to do with it. This can happen to certain strikers, who can score prolifically at one level, and be suddenly out of their depth at another. The crinklies among us will remember the classic case of Ted MacDougall, who scored something like 42 and 37 league goals in two successive seasons in the Third Tier, got snapped up by Man U, and then sunk without trace. It's very hard to tell what Pardew's real thoughts are. If there was a chance of getting rid of him for a decent price, we should have taken it and replaced him. We seem very conservative, and reluctant to let players go, but skilful trading can be very beneficial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Would give him a start on Wednesday and hope a few chances fall his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So few options at the moment - maybe Campbell or Gouffran can have a go on Wednesday although the latter didn't do well there at Morecambe and Campbell is not ready yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineBarrens Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Would give him a start on Wednesday and hope a few chances fall his way. No, he must be burned at the stake for he is 1000 times worse than Pat Heard and Shola combined, for the quixotic lords of Newcastle-Online have spoken...

Think he needs to be left out for a few games myself. Did not exactly exert himself today and seems to have got complacent because he knows he is guaranteed to start.
