Wallsendmag Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Absolutely up there, agreed. Ball literally bounced away from him every time he tried to control it, constantly beaten to the ball, useless of course in physical battles and couldn't pick a teammate out to save his life. You've just summed up his Newcastle career right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 He is finished here, but I'm surprised we can't make a few million from a Dutch or German club for him. Would be wise to sell ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Disappointing to hear he was shit, you'd hope he'd want to show something in what was an increasingly rare start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 He is finished here, but I'm surprised we can't make a few million from a Dutch or German club for him. Would be wise to sell ASAP. We can't afford to. We're potentially losing Sissoko and Tiote needs to go before Anita. It doesn't leave us with much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Despite not playing much at all lately, and not had a manager with any belief in him he did quite well today. Would love to see him play many games under a good manager looking to play good positive football, one that rates his strongest attributes. Personally i've always rated him very highly and if he's made to feel like a vital first team member i'm sure he'll show how good he can be. Just my opinion but i honestly cannot understand how some people don't want him to start. In the correct setup he'll flourish.

Disco Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Did well in the first, him and Colback were steamrolled in the second though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Overall he had a decent game but today showed why i don't think he'll ever be a success in the PL. The two goals today came from long balls where really the DM should challenge with the ST for the aerial dual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just start 11 Raylors then. I'm still waiting for this justification for keeping Anita on. Anita wasn't doing anything and wouldn't contribute to attacking in any meaningful way. Colback at least has proved a threat from set-pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Colback was winning all the headers in midfield, which meant Colo held his position and we kept a clean sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He grafted but is too small to be left challenging giants like pelle in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Problem is, the role he was asked to play today (a defensive midfielder protecting the back four) dosnt suit him at all, he needs to be played a bit further forward, dictating play. Nothing more depressing than seeing us trying to defend by having Anita challenge for headers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Are people still defending him? He offers nothing in this league, the young lad Reed for Soton was far more effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Are people still defending him? He offers nothing in this league, the young lad Reed for Soton was far more effective. I've defended him for a long time but I have to agree with this. Simply just isn't suited to this league for whatever reason and has never had a single game where I've thought hes looked convincing, would be the last CM I would pick to start for us with everyone fit.

Nothing more depressing than seeing us trying to defend by having Anita challenge for headers. I can see him working well as a deep midfielder in an attacking formation where his role is to intercept before laying it off to a more forward midfielder, or to offer a short option before picking out a pass forward. Since signing for us he's been asked to play the typical British idea of a DM where the job entails chasing back, making a crunching tackle then picking out a 40 yard pass.
