Guest Publius Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thought he was excellent. Probably our best player overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thought he was excellent. Probably our best player overall. Him and Tiote were the bright spots again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Feel sorry for him, one of the very few who can come out with any credit today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Played ok today. Great in the air again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Even without the goal. He was our MOTM behind Tiote. Although they were probably the only two players that deserve credit TBH, so that's not saying a lot. I like him and I'm glad he's hit a little bit of form the last 2-3 games.

The College Dropout Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He's becoming a pretty rugged PL fullback and I like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveready Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I thought he played well. Did he kiss the badge when he scored? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah. Not falling for that one, Mathieu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Much improved, I like him now, actually. It's been a slow process, but he's just settling in. He's had some absolute shockers where I didn't want to see him play for us again, but he's done well and stepped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 One of the few players we have that seems to have some genuine steel about them (without trying to snidily kick players ala Cabaye). I've always liked the look of him, despite his obvious shaky performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm not going to say I believed in him all along as he had some shockers but one thing I always liked about him was that he is not afraid to be aggressive in a challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's his acceleration which worries me. He's good on the ball, good tackler, strong in the air, looks like the sort of full-back capable of chipping in with 3-5 a season...it's just when a winger knocks it past him or a ball knocked over the top where he's suspect imo. Overall though I think he'll be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall though I think he'll be good. Last few games his starting position has been a lot deeper.... probably to combat the lack of acceleration. I hope it stays that way.

Tachikoma Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Still not convinced tbh :/ For me, Enrique has set the bar for NUFC fullbacks and he... reminds me more of a younger Stephen Carr a lot of the time. Having said that, I still like him better than Danny Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thought he played well. Would quite like to see him go up for corners has a great leap and wins loads of headers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 One of the few players we have that seems to have some genuine steel about them (without trying to snidily kick players ala Cabaye). I thought that because he's a dirty foreigner he can't possibly have a bit of passion about him? That's how it works on here isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Only see the second half and ET. But I thought he was very good again. What he lacks in pace, he makes up for in fitness. Constantly up and down the flank and loves to get stuck in. His keenness sometimes gets him in trouble. But I'd rather him try to cut things out and intercept passes, as oppose to standing off like most of our defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Had a dodgy start this season with City being a low point and as usual plenty of knives were out with some absurd comments BUT he has been very good of late, would like to see Ben Arfa back on the right so they can build some sort of partnership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 His Newcastle career thus far hasn't been the best, but a big improvement lately, and looks like he can be the player we all hoped he would be. Hell of an engine on him. The way he looked at the ref and Negredo after he booted him in ET x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Been really quite impressive after a shaky start to the season. Hope he keeps it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 French Terminator tbh. Happy with him, been very good lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Really hope he can keep it up. I have no idea why but he's been one of my favourite players since he signed. He has all the attributes to be very dependable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 For a midget he's good in the air, i'd start sending him up for corners and the long Debbie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
