AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 MYM made the wrong choice joining us... WRONG! You really think so? If i didn't support NUFC and i was his advicer i would not pick Newcastle as his best option career wise. Neither would I, but I do support NUFC, so there.

If i didn't support NUFC and i was his adviser i would not pick Newcastle as his best option career wise. He's 24 and had an opportunity to jump to a storied franchise in the most lucrative league in the world. He knows he'll get playing time here and the chance to showcase his talent to even bigger clubs. A no-brainer really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I can't wait to see him continue to develop, and its crazy that he's just 24 but with seemingly all the right self confidence and leadership (interviews after he signed, during the run-in, and his armband at Montpellier). Big fan of some of the stuff he does with the ball when defending and in attack. He has a decent left foot on him and is a smooth dribbler. Something I really enjoy about his game is that he does similar things that Colo does in sort of reading and snuffing the player out and nipping in and taking the ball and up field quickly. All I'm hoping is Colo stays and takes young Mapou under his wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 They have the same weaknesses. We need to abandon this sentimental bullocks and find a CB pairing that doesn't get bullied by crap like Rodellega and Graham, doesn't get injured every 8 games, doesn't ask to leave the club that pays them a fucking fortune, and scores the odd goal. Mertelsacker and Koscielny? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 This lad and Coloccini as a partnership is one of the very few reasons for positivity approaching next season. I expect him to develop into one hell of a defender, especially under Colo's guidance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yep, can't wait to see him play more games and grow as a player. Still convinced this lad has got a huge future once he is truly bedded in here and adapted to our league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If Taylor is fit I still think Pardew will choose him ahead of Mapou every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 As much as I'd rather MYM be in the middle, I think our strongest back four is probably Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, MYM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 As much as I'd rather MYM be in the middle, I think our strongest back four is probably Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, MYM. We have two very capable LBs though, not to use either would be a mistake I think. Having all of our 3 acceptable CBs on the pitch at once is also not a good idea.

Completely agree to be honest, but if we're fielding a strongest possible defence, at this time I think that's it and wouldn't be surprised to see Pardew use it. I do also think that MYM will be in the team more often than he's not, wherever it be across the back four (regardless of Taylor's fitnees). I'm also leaning towards Haidara over Santon as well to be honest. I like Santon but can't help but feel he's a bit of a liability defensively and he's also becoming predictable going forward.

alexf Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Could be argued we are running the risk of more injuries if we play our 3 best CBs each week rather than resting and rotating one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If Taylor is fit I still think Pardew will choose him ahead of Mapou every time. Purely based on nationality, because Pards is dense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Well, in the midst of what is sure to be a pretty poor season at least I can console myself with the fact that I support a storied franchise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's what I meant. IMO we can't afford to play them all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
