triggs Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 because he wasn't fuckin class in his 10 minutes on the pitch having been at the club for 3 days? Get rid imo. Was on the pitch about 40 minutes like but you are correct. Not even like he was poor either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Oh, I'm not saying get rid or that he's a bad player or that he had a bad game. It's just pretty clear that how alien Prem footy is to him. And that makes the lack of understanding with his team mates more of an issue. Something only time will fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Being harsh as fuck here, but he got out muscled on the ball a couple of times. But like has been said, we were under a lot of pressure at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that makes the lack of understanding with his team mates more of an issue. Something only time will fix. Um ... He's been here a few days and only played less than a half. Reading a lot into that showing I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's played all of 30 minutes or whatever it was in the premier league ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Can't judge him based on his debut but will be interesting to see what happens with him in the weeks to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can probably loan him back to France if we get our skates on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought that he looked steady, nothing flash and no risks taken so all in all, a good enough start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like has been said, we were under a lot of pressure at the time. I noticed one of those. That would be something we hope doesn't stick. Need some strength in there for sure.

Odear Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Did alright, West Ham had us on the backfoot by time he came on. Made a couple of poor choices, in when to carry the ball etc, but he'll learn from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Little bit of a mixed bag but he looks hungry, athletic and hardworking. I'm sure he'll improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He passed it to players surrounded by West Ham players about 3-4 times which was fucking annoying. Hard to make an judgements tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 All players new to the Premiership look surprised when they get pushed over and the ref gives them nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It's clear what Beautiful Day is saying. You buy proven Premier League players, ie Shelvey, they're more likely to come in and make an immediate impact, which is what we need, than a player signed from the French League. Surely that's why they cost more. Hopefully he can settle in quickly and benefit from playing next to Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zicomartin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 To me, it looks like he was watching our class players (Shelvey/Wijnaldum) "appear" to have more time on the ball than they actually do... and tried to play at their pace - but really, he needs to ' run and press ' with more ugency to be more effective.

KaKa Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought that he looked steady, nothing flash and no risks taken so all in all, a good enough start. same, got a couple of good interceptions, and seemed to take up good positions as well. He definitely seemed more of a holding player looking to take up intelligent defensive positions rather than diving in and leaving gaps. That I really liked a lot.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Never really noticed him, first impressions are we should have signed a 6ft5 beast instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought he was quite decent, after his first few touches. Got a couple of good interceptions in, nice Cruyff turn, comfortable on the ball. Think he could be a very useful player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought he was quietly efficient and tidy with the ball when he got on it, which wasn't very often I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Didn't look great (not poor either) at first glance but he certainly didn't appear to be any worse than Colback and looks considerably more mobile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looks like Cisse Jr. when chasing the ball, albeit a little bit bulkier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought that he looked steady, nothing flash and no risks taken so all in all, a good enough start. Yeah agree. Didn't see anything that would give glaring concerns. Looks fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looked nervy. Hopefully doesnt take him too long to adjust to the pace and physicality. Thought he was a bit dead on the ball and will need to quicken his thinking and pace of the game. Looking forward to seeing him more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
