Ronaldo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Where's marlon harewood these days when he's not busy getting felched by Ronaldo? Pretty sure my argument re. Harewood at the time was he was a good Championship-level player much better than Nile Ranger and probably Shola too. Aye, I got that one massively wrong, like.

Ronaldo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Even his examples are crap, Cabaye was quality from day one. You have to be a special kind of idiot to use the progression of fucking Gouffran as a reason to be optimistic for Rivière, like. I already hate this prick more than Pardew.

sempuki Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Newcastle United head coach John Carver has launched a staunch defence of struggling striker Manu Riviere ahead of the trip to Everton. The former Monaco man has not scored a single Premier League goal for the Magpies since arriving from Ligue 1 and has been branded a flop by some observers. Papiss Cisse’s seven-game suspension means that Riviere will get an enforced run in the side. Carver said he will defend Riviere “because he’s one of my players”. “Listen the one thing about Manu Riviere is he works his socks off,” Carver said. “He keeps getting on the end of things. He keeps getting into the right areas and I’m telling you before time it will come off. “Let’s judge him at the end of the season or six months time when he has had the time to adjust. This is the first time he’s had a run in the team. He is having a right go at it.” Carver knows that a striker’s main currency is goals though, and added: “He’s got to convert chances. I just think it takes a little bit longer for guys outside of this country longer.” Carver says that Riviere is not alone in struggling to cope with life at St James’ Park. Remy Cabella has had ups and downs while Siem De Jong has been unlucky with injuries. Carver said: “I think out of every player we have brought in only Daryl Janmaat has hit the ground running. “Daryl came in from Dutch football and hit the ground running. “There’s players in the past that have taken a lot longer. I remember when Yohan Cabaye first came here, Yoan Gouffran – a lot of players have taken time to adapt. “If you ask any manager in the Premier League they will say the same thing in that not many come in straight away and hit the ground running. “It is a different demand. It’s the demands more than anything else.” With Cisse out, Newcastle’s next highest scorer is Ayoze Perez with five goals. Carver admitted it has been tough for Riviere to see a younger player break his Premier League duck before him. Carver said: “Ayo (Perez) is younger and we paid a decent transfer fee for Manu. He had that on his head. Sometimes it can knock confidence. “But from day one he (Riviere) has been fantastic. If he keeps going the way he’s going it’s got to turn for him. I believe it will turn for him.” “Listen the one thing about Manu Riviere is he works his socks off,” Carver said. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/bbet.gif Listen you thick twat, he is shite.

mickthemagpie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 He seems to be suggesting that before the end of time Riviere will score. I'm not so sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well at the moment, he looks great until the ball comes to him. I think nerves are playing a part, because he is snatching at the chances that come his way. He's also getting bullied by defenders, despite his size, as though he's still getting used to the different things that referees over here will allow. I've not given up hope entirely, but I'm getting pretty close unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so true like. If he was just a fan and he was speaking like that to you about us you'd pretty quickly think he had no idea what he was talking about and either walk away, talk to someone else or change the subject.

Nobody Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Even his examples are crap, Cabaye was quality from day one. You have to be a special kind of idiot to use the progression of fucking Gouffran as a reason to be optimistic for Rivière, like. I already hate this prick more than Pardew. Everyone on here really liked Gouffran in his first six months here and were constantly annoyed with Pardew for taking him off early in every game. Him and Cabaye are the worst two examples he could have possibly come up with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I thought between Rob Mcdonald, Frank Pingel, Dave Mitchell, Andy Walker, Andreas Andersson and a few others, i'd seen the worst strikers at the club. Wasn't around for the glorious Bobby Shinton era, but even he managed 6 or 7 in that season people talk about. The only one who comes close to this donkey is Paul Moran who came on loan around 1990 or 1991, got pissed the night before his only game against Wolves and managed to miss from a yard out while colliding with the post.
