TRon Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Point 3. He's not very good at defending. I don't think Rafa takes kindly to that. Just a guess He's can actually look a very good defender at times and he's had some great games in the premier for Newcastle. At other times he's looked totally off the plot. It will be an interesting choice for Rafa whether he wants to spend a large chunk of his budget on a top defender when our objective will probably be to consolidate in the Premier next season. Mbemba's that type of defender who can look careless in the Championship, then look superb against Chelsea in the Premier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Tiote turned up to wherever he was having his medical the day he signed to welcome him, If I remember rightly. Sure I saw him in the behind the scenes pictures that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He's done really well today at left back, i think he is our best defender. Been decent in a few performances but yet shunned by the manager for most of the season last time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 How was it not a sending off when the lad kicked him in the head? I know 3-4-3 is all the rage, but there's a reason for that and I'd love to see us try it. I certainly think it would help Ritchie... because while he hasn't got the pace to be an effective out and out winger, and while we don't have good enough full-backs to allow him to work as an effective inside forward - he's got the stamina and tenacity to press and create as the RWB in that 3-4-3, as well as the discipline and aggression to get back effectively. He could still try his deep passes from that position, too. We'd need someone like Kenedy on the other side, because he'd be familiar with the system for a start. But moreso because there's certainly no fucker in the current squad capable of such a role down that side currently. And we'd need that other central attacking player we do badly need. ------------------------- Elli t --------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Mbemba -- Lejeune ---- Clark ---------- Ritchie --------------------------------------- Kenedy --------------- Hayden ----- Shelvey ---------------- ----------- Perez ----------------- No Idea ----------- ------------------------- Joselu --------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yedlin would definitely suit that role, but Ritchie seems completely unsuitable to me. Nowhere near enough pace or defensive nous imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
