JH Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Stayed and applauded all four corners at FT too. Got a cracking response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 After a nervous first touch or two, I thought he looked very bright. Quick in thought and quick in movement as well, defended well and made a couple of excellent touches. Promising debut. Spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looked average, but that's fine, I doubt he's gonna be a player that comes on and changes the game, he'll be playing his part throughout. Glad to see him, glad to have him here and glad his first app is a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Think he's going to be brilliant, looks a proper footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see him, glad to have him here and glad his first app is a win. serious ? apart from that very early touch that was 4ft too strong and dropped us in it he looked very very tidy with an eye for getting forward aswell.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just didn't seem like he found his spot in that midfield tbf. really think he has to get a few games and weeks just to gel in and show what he can do from that DM position. We also moved Tiote up to become that offensive ballwinner with some penetration through will power. Seemed to work somewhat but in all think the team was quite off when it came to offensive play. The only one who did manage to make us play was Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 f*** me, he's quick This, some pace on the fella. It was the couple of tame one-twos he did with Tiote (?) before he just turned and shot off down the wing with the ball. The last thing I was expecting him to do.

Jayson Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Great game to give him confidence about our club also, beating the side who finished 4th last season. Really didnt expect his pace as people have mentioned, nearly did walker on the wing at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Looked a bit nervous but that's only natural for a guy making his debut outside his home club for the first time, grew in to the game and started to look much better, looks like he has the potential to be a hell of a player for us.

themanupstairs Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Made an absolutely vital block on Defoe? Deflecting the shot out wide in the last few minutes. Sometimes you don't get down to this level of detailed marking so quick after coming on as a sub in a tight game. Must have done his homework from the bench which is always encouraging.

NUFC_Chris Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 As has been said his first touch was a mare, but when he picked up the ball on that left flank and ran with it I was impressed. I didn't realise he was that fast. Think he might start in the centre vs Atromitos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not an easy game to come into, never mind as your debut. Despite early nerves, he looks like a great addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Its going to take him a while to adapt to the way we play, but hes going to be integral to our system. Both him and Tiote like to sit deep to receive the ball, which robbed us of a forward thrust from midfield. But he grew into the game made some nice passing sequences. Would like to see him get 90 minutes in Greece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Looked average, but that's fine, I doubt he's gonna be a player that comes on and changes the game, he'll be playing his part throughout. Christ almighty I thought he was solid and had some great touches for his very first game. Can't wait to see more of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
