Form of his career

 

 

At Newcastle

Form of his life tbh

 

:lol: ?

 

f*** do you know how he's done at Bordeaux before. Only last season he had 5goals in 6 games. 'Form of his life tbh'

 

Settle down wee lad.

 

Trust me, I'm settled. ;)

:lol: :thup:

 

Just a bit of a knob then?

We benefit massively from Gouffran, obviously from his workrate but also because of his striking instinct as shown most by his goals against Norwich and yesterday. A 'normal' winger/wide player doesn't anticipate chances like that. He's invaluable at the moment.

 

Great player, love him. :thup:

He's got great movement. That's one reason I'm not missing Hatem too much, at the minute, we've got 2 wide men who aren't as talented but move so much better off the ball and make better decisions in areas that count. If we can get HBA in the mindset of Gouff and Sissoko, he (and we) will be incredibly difficult to stop.

Don't think Sissoko makes better decisions in areas that count. If anything Sissoko always makes the wrong decision in the final third.

I noticed again against Southampton but when Ben Arfa came on and got the ball, everyone runs away from him.

That could be because they know he likes taking on the defender, or they know he isn't likely to pass.

 

But what's important is they don't do it with Gouffran. When he gets it the rest of the team move for him as they know he isn't as comfortable taking on defenders.

 

Simple small thing but actually makes a lot of difference to the way we attack.

Like when he won the header against Evra and set Cabaye up for his goal against Man Utd? Or when he scored against WBA the week before?

I'm not saying he should be relied on in the final third but he can be useful. Should be his job to pressure the oppositions midfield, win the ball, surge forward and deliver the ball to players who can put it to better use.
