Newcastle Fan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Good quote, i really think a lot of players we've had were not bad, they were just coached and managed by clueless twats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every single one of us know that each generation of the squad has suffered from the culture at the club pre-Rafa. Not to absolve them of any kind of blame, btw. I was happy to see loads of new faces in the team at the weekend. The only player remaining from my previous trip to SJP was actually Gouffran.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Obviously the lower level is a part of it, but we all know how difficult it has been to be a newcastle player over the last few seasons. It doesn't mean Gouffran is mint but it means he might be slightly better than he looked playing as an auxiliary fullback in a shit team at a shit club.

xLiaaamx Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Think its bigger than the coaching. It was painfully obvious the club had no ambitions and didn't want to move forward. That's only ever going to have a negative effect on players. Why bother trying for a club that won't try for itself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been suggested previously on here and when you consider the environment involved the likes of Pardew, Carver and his pie eating friends then it would only be a fool who would disagree with Rafa.

The coaching argument definitely holds a lot of weight though. If you go back to the early pages of this thread, people liked him as a player; during his first few months he was decent and provided good movement and a bit of a goal threat. That was all coached out of him gradually in the proceeding years (he's not the only one either) but there's nothing to say Benitez and his team can't get something out of him again. He's been okay so far this season and I'd rather have him in the squad than not right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Still not sure what anyone thinks he gives us besides a lot of running about. Anyone can do that, and I'd rather it was someone with talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 He's always had a decent long distance shot on him, scored a great goal against Leeds a few years ago. Just not good enough to be in a position to shoot very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
