Fugazi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Didn't look fazed at all tonight. A few years ago he would have been watching Eto'o at his peak for Barca, and now he's playing against him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know he's a Geordie n all and you boys want him to be the next big thing but I'm gonna stick my neck out on the line here and say he won't make it as a Premiership footballer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 His quick thinking on the ball and early passing was great. A very good sub by Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 There was one moment where he was fucking screaming for the ball out on the left all alone but everyone just ignored him Got a fair few touches after that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Too easy.... :lol: For what it's worth he hasn't done anything of note in his substitute appearances for anyone to say he's going to be particularly good nor particularly bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Good to see he's getting some time with the first team and not looking out of his depth, hopefully he'll get a couple of starts in the league once we're officially safe. Be nice to have another option who can play across the front three, the fact that he's tiny and ginger is brilliant as well obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I love his running, both when chasing a ball and when trying to find space. Whether that will translate to how he will turn out as a player only time will tell, but so far so good. There's definitely something special about having a young local lad come on to the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 People are saying he's good/bad based on what we've heard from the academy. We don't just randomly pluck little ginger kids off the street and hoy them in a game to see if they're up to scratch, they're trained for many years before that. Anyway I think there's an almost certain chance he'll make it in the Premiership, it'll take a monumental effort from the lad and the staff for him to become one of the leagues best though, would absolutely love it if he did.

On a serious note about making it in the Premiership...considering how ridiculously small he is he'll have to be technically excellent to make it.

True enough, but I think based on the fact that Pardew is comfortable enough with him to send him on in these situations shows that he has some ability. Pardew sent him on tonight to make an impact and did so ahead of Shola. Obviously lets not get carried away, but not bad for an 18 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Despite he's obviously naturally gifted its the simple things like giving a simple pass when it would be easy to dribble or shoot is what impresses me.

NEEJ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Loved how when he nearly gave the ball away in our half, he then followed that with a little backheel to Tiote(?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Abit erratic, but with abit more time I think he will be good. That acceleration man, must be terrifying for defenders, once he's 20 meters away, you get the ball and he's in your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
