Chris_R Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If I was a striker and Riviere kept getting games ahead of me whilst a Neanderthal face-licking chav stuck me in midfield every week, I'd probably give up too. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 He looks broken. Pardew and Carver made him into a new Jonás faster than they made Jonás himself. I wonder if it has gone on for too long for Gouffran to be able to recover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 To be honest I always thought he was bang average, but he really has to be one of the biggest wastes of a shirt. Just seems to play with a black hole of shit around him, everyone in a Newcastle shirt who passes or ever gets near to him does something wank. Awful awful player. So many need to be shipped out and he'd be the first on my list. Whether he's been badly coached or what, just absolutely hate him at the club.

NEEJ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 What did Pardew, and now Carver, see in this bloke? He's complete and utter dogturd and should be nowhere near a Premier League starting 11. Was he playing in centre midfield today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 How in the fucking fuck does this guy start and finish games. He is utter utter garbage.

TTom Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thought I'd take a look at Gouffran's stats for this season and see if I could maybe figure out why this waste of space has been starting the majority of games, maybe we actually do much worse without him in the side? Well, the results might shock you! (they won't) Comparing matches where Gouffran has started (League and Cups 2014/2015): Total: P35 W12 D8 L15 Gouffran Started: P23 W3 D7 L13 Points per game - 0.7 Win-rate 13% Not Started: P12 W9 D1 L2 Points per game - 2.3 Win-rate 75% No real surprises, the 2 losses are the 0-1 vs Leicester(A) in the FA Cup, and the 0-1 vs Man United a few weeks ago, the draw was the 1-1 with Stoke in February. From my recollection (I've tried to forget most of this season) we deserved more from the Stoke and Man United games, and the FA Cup match can be safely ignored. But wait, what about the attacking threat he brings? He is a striker after all, and how could you ignore the defensive solidarity he adds? Well let's see: Started: Goals Scored - 22 - Avg 0.95 per game Goals Conceded - 49 - Avg 2.1 per game Not Started: Goals Scored - 17 - Avg 1.4 per game Goals Conceded - 6 - Avg 0.5 per game Oh, well he does run about a lot I guess...

sbnufc Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thought he was decent in the 2nd half today. Maybe I'm on my own in that opinion though Was the first good performance I've seen from him in well, forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I forgot he was playing, which isn't unusual but his input from an attacking point of view was pretty much zero. Having said that, why the fuck he was playing centre midfield in the first place is anybody's guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Personally I don't get the Gouffran hate. He's a forward. A small, mobile, hard-working forward. He's being played massively out of position as a defensive winger or a central midfielder. People then complain that he's shit at it. OF COURSE HE IS. I'm not saying he's the same calibre, or even the same type of player. But can you imagine Craig Bellamy excelling at those roles? Or Aguero? Or Shane Long? Maybe Gouffran is a good player, maybe he's a bad player. But one thing's for certain, it is utterly impossible to judge someone - anyone - when they're played so vastly and repeatedly out of position. All we're proving is that he's a shit midfielder. Or a shit defensive winger. Yeah, OK, Tim Krul's probably a shit forward, what's your point? That said, I groan as loudly as anyone when Gouffran plays but only because he offers nothing in the positions in which he's picked. It's very hard to blame him for that though. That "effort" on goal in the 2nd half man. 12 yards out and gently toe pokes it straight to the keeper. Should have burst the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
