Newcastle United 3-1 Birmingham - 18/01/2017 - Post-match reaction from page 14


Recommended Posts

It worries the hell out of me that it appears our team is so reliant on Shelvey, it's basically saying the rest of the team aren't good enough and if anything happens to Shelvey we're shagged.

 

We don't have anybody who is even remotely similar that's the problem. He's the only attacking centre midfielder we've got basically.

 

If we had anybody remotely similar to Shelvey on our bench, we'd be the luckiest 2nd tier team in the history of European football. Probably.

 

 

 

i don't think we need a replacement of Shelvey's quality though, the equivalent of Guthrie would do.

 

I know what you mean, but that type of footballer will probably be a regular starter for another championship team. Whether they'd be willing to sit on our bench is the question. A better replacement for Colback we would have probably been alright.

Gouffran's actually got decent movement. Hilarious how Pardew and McClaren forced him to never leave his own half.

 

Turned into a wing-back because he ran about a lot. Was shocking from Pardew because he could have been an adequate 3rd choice striker.

 

What makes it worse is he impressed Pardew when he played against us as a striker for Bordeaux, so Pardew ask for us to buy him. Played him up top once i think  :lol:

The difference between BBC N and TS2 is night and day. Ando was on suicide watch!

 

I just flicked it on. The difference in energy and interest between the two sets of commentary. :lol:

 

They actually describe what's happening, too, which is novel.

 

Aye :lol: Ando and the other were over-discussing the f***ing weather! :lol:

 

Not surprised tbh. Sounds rather dull - and that's based on Tweets as well as the radio.

Much rather have Colback than Tiote, and that's saying a f***ing awful lot.

 

I just hope to God we'll never have to discuss either of them ever again after this summer.

 

Colback will be here for years man :lol: we love hangers on.

Really? Like, really?

Aye, Colback is utter crap, but Tiote is a genuine liability.

 

There's the option for neither. I'd go with that.

 

I'd rather play with 10 men.
