Guest Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yeah that's probably where I'd have it, Ginola before Robert probably just as a preference Ginola's one of my favourite Newcastle players of all time, but if I'm completely honest with myself he was probably only really as effective as Robert or more from August to January 95/96 and then for maybe October/November in 96/97. I was genuinely heartbroken at 11/12 when Dalglish came in and froze him out. Was weird. During the run-in he sort of stumbled across using Ferdinand, Asprilla & Shearer as a front three with Elliott either left-midfield if he played two of them or left of a midfield three if he went with the lot of them and it kicked us on to finish 2nd.

Guest Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just checked up that run-in. Last 6 games we played those 3 up front four times and we won four, scoring 12 times. That included a 1-0 win at Highbury. We then got two 0-0s with two up front at West Ham & Man Utd. A shame that wasn’t what Dalglish’s whole era was like because it was almost as if it was all-out attack when he knew we could stuff a side but could set up to get a clean sheet if he needed too. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I still know quite a few NUFC supporters who say Robert only looked good because he was in good side. :lol: :lol: :lol: Tbf, the stick he got once Souness came in sums up how some would have perceived him in a poorer side imo - basically the same way some viewed Ben Arfa.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 He’s very different to most dribblers. He’s got an awareness, not just of the space in front of the defender and the ball at his feet, but the space around them both and the players coming next. That first touch after the 1-2 where he knocks it instantly past the defender is a great example. Ridiculous to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've always been amazed by how perfectly weighted his touches are during his dribbles. He's not the kind of dribbler where the ball particularly seems to stick to his feet, but a lot more of the sort you've described. I somehow find it more exciting seeing him running between these touches than just a dribbler with glue on their boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
