Mole_Toonfan Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Aye, I thought so too, bar that one daft pass. Still can't believe he did that but aye in general i thought he was very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Completely lost his marker for their goal and was turned inside out on several occasions. 6/10 at best for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That great run from their RB was always going to cause trouble and I can't remember him getting turned inside out. But guess he was poor then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyAnth Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Was brilliant first half. Read that he won possession with tackles seven times, the most by a Newcastle player in a single game all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I still cannot believe the comment by that BBC journo EDIT: BBC Sport: David Ljunggren: "Yanga-Mbiwa is officially useless.

Smal Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I felt like putting myself through unnecessary anguish last night, so just after MYM's dodgy pass on MOTD I typed his name into Twitter. Cue loads of Arsenal fans saying things like 'glad we didn't get Yanga-Mbiwa' and 'Yanga-Mbiwa has been poor since joining Newcastle'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*cking ridiculous, i hate people who make such definite statements when watching MATCH OF THE F*CKING DAY. Watch more than some highlights before commentating with such certainty please.

Kanji Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 He looks like hes starting to get used to the pace of things as he was nicking in and winning the ball with such calm and ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 He'll start looking excellent next season IMO. This is regardless of whether Pardew stays or goes fwiw, just to break the trend a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh i think he's been good other than the Sunderland game and everyone was f*cking crap that day. I can't think of any bad performances other than that, his decision making has been erratic at times but defensively i have no concerns. He'll start looking excellent next season IMO. This is regardless of whether Pardew stays or goes fwiw, just to break the trend a bit Tbf Pardew's idiocy doesn't tend to effect the defenders performances as much as it does the midfielders and the forwards for obvious reasons.

Smal Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 From 442 stats zone: Tackles 7/7 completed Blocks 1 Clearances: 13/14 Pretty decent and the highest of any player on the pitch There was something else about the tackles stat as well. Think it's the most tackles an NUFC player has made in a game this season or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit worrying that we've conceded the 2nd most goals this season in the league. Though I attribute that to: 1) Extended periods of Mike Williamson at CB and a banged up Tim Krul. 2) No continuity on the backline this season, as Simpson, Debuchy, Colo, Saylor, Perch, Williamson, Santon, MYM, Haidara and Jonas have all made appearances there. A solid and hopefully healthy (knock on wood) back 4 of Debuchy, Saylor, MYM, Santon/Haidara plus Krul should produce better results next season. 3) 'Fortress Newcastle' being the worst fucking defensive scheme in Toon history.

I'll chuck this in, when taking a lead we sit back deep and hope to hang on. This with a terrible defensive record. Managers a chump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 never knew that stat. We are a defensive team who are not good at defending. That's our problem. We have over acheived at the other end imo . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
