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.

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.

Throwing all 10 men in our half, bunkering in and allowing the opposition 75% possession after we've gone ahead. Works 6% of the time, every time.

Dave Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-fabricio-coloccini-finished-rumours-1855678 [Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa] says relegation has not been mentioned in the United camp. The young France international said: “Above all, the most important thing is to remain aware of the situation in which we find ourselves, it’s also very important to remain really together. “Amongst staff, players and team-mates, we have to have the attitude that we’re all in this together. Whenever we go out on the pitch, we have to know that we’re involved in a battle and make sure we give our all for 95 minutes in each match. “With the experience we all have, we have to make sure that we’re always going out there and doing just that. “Newcastle have shown me that they want to get back up there with the very best, the elite. “No one is talking about relegation. No, I’m not worried, we’ve got some fantastic players and a lot of confidence, we haven’t lost any of that. We work hard in training, and we’re serious out there. “It’s important we stick together until the last match and if we’re playing against one of the best five teams in the league, we’ll still be confident we can go out and get a result.” Pardew and Mbiwa both see hope for next season as long as United get the job done and survive this term. With a bit of good fortune with injuries and extra energy from not being in Europe there is a believe that better is to come next season. Mbiwa said: “I can see that Newcastle have a really strong strategy and a real project to move forward in future seasons. First of all, we have to make sure that we can get back up into the top seven or eight. “Next season, if we can be really motivated from the outset and start the season well, there’s no reason why we can’t challenge the top three or four.” Sounds like he wants to leave.
