Mole_Toonfan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He gets skinned every f***ing game man I bet you thought Anita was s**** after 2 games and offered nothing too? Big fan of Anita tbh, our only competent midfielder Now i know you're trolling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 First time I've seen ninety minutes from him today and I thought he was nervous/naive/all over the place at the back, but his forward running and impact in the opposition's half was refreshing. I think we can put his defensive naivety down to the usual reason: he's new to the league (though I doubt it's the first time he's ever come up against a fast winger...). There's some problems to iron out which will probably take time, but he clearly looks extremely talented from what I've seen so far. His confidence with the ball and positive play going forward has already added another string to our bow in an attacking sense; most of our good play in the first half actually came from the right-hand-side, which never happens without HBA. Chuffed we've signed him, looking forward to him properly integrating into this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He looks really talent but he's only played 3 games in this league so he's still learning. I think all the new signings will be shocked at the pace of this league to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Was stupid of him with the penalty, regardless of Agbonlahor falling over, it annoys me when defenders put a foot in when the player is going away from goal Still going forward he was brilliant in the first half, unfortunately in the second half we barely left our half so he was stuck at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He might be a pretty boy. Cabayes buddy. He might not be Danny Simson. He might look a cool dude in a photo shoot with his best buddy. But last night he wasn't even average. Take off the rose tinted goggles please. And yes, it is early days, I'll accept that.

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Good in the first half but struggled like fuck with Agbonlahor in the second. Sure he'll be fine once he has a few months in the league under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's early days, he has played 3 games ffs, it will take time to adjust and I really didn't think he was that bad. Santon was more concerning as he went missing far to often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Got done a couple of times in the second half, and that's all it takes to be punished usually, so will need to adapt, but otherwise thought he was alright. Really liked him first half. It's nice to see a player at right back that can bring the ball down and there be some expectation that the balls next destination will be at the feet of a Newcastle player.

STM Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I thought he was class going forward, in the first half. Chronic lack of pace against agbonlahor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That penalty...STUPID. He is running away from our goal on the way out of the penalty-area. Not a good game at all...step up and im sure he will be good for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
localshop Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm certain that if Simpson was still playing we wouldn't have won that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Don't think he's attempted a floated cross or a 30 yard chipped pass yet so he's a mile ahead of Simpson. He was very good in the first half getting forward and a couple of decent tackles in, second half early on he wasn't used to the pace of Agbonlahor but he improved and got tighter to him after the initial 10-15 minutes. He's very good in the air and like all players coming to a new country he'll get better with more games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Definitely needs time to adapt. Solid on the ball, defensively not the greatest so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Debuchy has shown good attacking skills in his games so far, but is unconvincing when a quick forward takes him on for pace in defence. This could well be that he is used to more time on the ball and to be able to support attacks in the French league and that is not available to him in the PL. He is a quality player, but it may take him a while to adjust...look at Colo's first season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He is a bit rash maybe a little over keen to impress, full blooded but its VERY early days for him still, you can see his qualities though and he is a huge improvement on Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He didnt put a foot in though He did, actually caught Agbonlahor's foot too. Stupid decision to go in rash like that in your own penalty area when the opposition player is moving away from goal. Stay on your feet and just shepherd him out before making a challenge.

Ne he didn't. Agbonlahor stood on Debuchy's foot and proceeded to go down like he'd been sniped. I saw it exactly the other way. May need to watch it again. I think he was surprised by Agbonlahor's burst of pace to get to the ball before him as he had already committed to the tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He's been France's right back for a while now hasn't he? I'd expect if he was shit he'd have been found out by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
