Gallows is definitely Atsu :lol: He never posts during a match that Atsu is involved in...

 

I have, many times, to prove this Hypothesis wrong

Wish he'd get a good run of games for us rather than Rafa persisting with Gouffran.

 

He's been the most consistent player at the tournament

He's probably heading for another Player of the tournament like 2 years ago

Anyhow, all this is irrelevant if he cannot produce the same form in Europe

I really hope we can keep hold of Atsu. Love his directness and can see him getting even better.

 

we should only keep him if he shows the same form he's showing in Africa

I don't know about keeping him but I'd like to see him starting more games while he's here. I know Gouffran has done well this season but he's still not a wide man.

Should start Tuesday for me, time for Gouffran to come out for a bit.

If he gets the chance, he should score or else _______ [fill in the blank]

If he gets the chance, he should score or else take out a knife, find you, and repeatedly stab you in the chest so we don't have to put up with your utter shite patter anymore. [fill in the blank]

That it?

Have to give him some credit today, he did not stop running at them and was a threat all game.

 

I might be in the minority but I find hims incredibly frustrating. He does a lot of the hard work by getting to a good crossing position but a lot of crosses were really poor. Produced a couple of decent ones but at least 2 went out for a throw in on the other side of the pitch and nowhere near anyone. f*** knows what he was doing taking corners

He hit 2 crosses in the second half that were at least 6 feet too high and hit far too hard, he hit another across the face of goal which Inspector Gadget would've got nowhere near. He's there to provide ammunition and he didn't provide it today. We were collectively awful for large parts today.

Some were too high and over-hit, but some were perfect for a striker who's interested in scoring. He provided a constant threat and always wanted the ball, unlike 3 or 4 others who were trying to pass the buck for 90 mins.

Christian Atsu steps up when United need him most

 

The Ghana international is, in many ways, a stereotypical winger in that he can frustrate the life out of supporters.

But the 25-year-old can also excite - and he most certainly has talent.

That’s why he was named Africa Cup of Nations player of the tournament in 2015, and then in the best team in the 2017 edition of the same competition.

 

Given this was his first start since the victory over Nottingham Forest win on December 30, it was an interesting decision from Benitez to field Atsu.

But seemingly the Magpies boss is rotating his squad ahead of three hugely-important games inside a week.

nd Atsu rewarded Benitez for the Spaniard’s faith, by dragging Newcastle back into the game.

Not only did he create the first goal with a lovely low cross into the box which created havoc, he regularly got past Zak Vyner and to the byline.

 

Atsu’s crosses were hit and miss - but they drove Newcastle forward and helped them rescue a point from this tie, and very nearly all three.

 

Surely we will see more of the winger over the next week-and-a-half.
