toontownman Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Given very few options around him. Even if and when he won a ball there was zero option to help him out meaning terrible punts forward in hope. That was happening all over the pitch though whenever we had the ball. Saviet looked weak.

TRon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 As long as he's passing the ball forwards then he's doing the right things. Needs a 'buzzy' type player alongside him though. Nah, your central midfielder has to be one of the most active players on the pitch, you can't leave the work to someone else. Didn't see the game today though, so no idea if he was as bad as is being made out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thought a few of his balls out from the back were really sloppy and aimless like, which was weird, but one of those things where a pacey striker playing on the last defender opens up options when you're on the backfoot a bit. Ighalo was threatening to destroy us time and time again because every time we lost the ball in the Watford half they knew they could just punt the cunt and he'd force the issue.

He's not inactive or lazy, he's just not very agile.It's hard for him to be a high tenacity, buzzy type player, if that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Quieter than last week, but I still thought he did some good things. As has been mentioned, he was asking for more forward movement at times as he obviously wanted to play the ball quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It begins What? People commenting on his performance? That begun last week. Unless you only want to see positive reviews? Nah. Nothing more than having a feeling that this would happen fairly quickly. What made you feel that? I still think he'll be pivotal but had also expected his initial impetus to last a good 4-6 weeks before he faded to our normal standards (). Because he has a reputation for being/looking lazy, being inconsistent and he's an attacking player that plays for Newcastle. Everything adds up.

DJ_NUFC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 A lot of people are hell bent on taking tongue in cheek, purposely exaggerated posts like "baldback" and using them to sit on their fictional high horse and pretend the posters actually meant that. If that's what you really think, your sense of humour is about as effective as McClaren's ability to manage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Aye, "Baldback" is hilarious. Classic stuff. Especially since Shelvey is pretty much the opposite of Colback as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 You guys are clutching at straws, man. He was terrible today and rightfully called out for it. Some chose to do so in a humourous way. You can choose to hold me to my comments as some sort of sign that signals the end of western civilization or you can actually develop a sense of humour, one as terrible as mine.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He is a good player and well suited to us, but you just know he wasn't signed to improve the team, but because he was available, young, English and has potential resale value. That's the problem with our recruitment policy, everyone bought is signed with how they fit into the side as an after thought. FWIW he did OK today, found his man more often than not and looked to play the ball forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He suffered today (like the team as a whole) from not having many options out wide. Sissoko was playing inside so Janmaat wasnt getting up as much and on the other side Aarons was struggling to get up and down unsurprisingly. The lack of width and proper full backs overlapping really disrupted our play imo and made it easy for Watford to shut us down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
