Heron Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Think he lost the ball like 75% of the times he had it but got the assist for the winner Did some alright defending too. Canny lad is Jacob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Lesser men would have went hiding after the crowd reaction he got 3 times. Fair play to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roids Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Persisting with Murphy and Almiron at RW over the last 3 seasons has been tragic. I don't fault the players for their expected poor performances but rather the scouts/management for not rectifying such a glaring issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 He was absolutely terrible, not just bad but felt like he was actively playing against us But then he was brilliant for the winning goal, he showed Isak what he should have done earlier in the half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully he stuck at it today as he made big contributions at both ends of the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 strange celebration when isak scored. not his usual wacky self. seemed to be having a serious conversation with isak when he came over to thank him. think he knew he'd been poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Got pushed off the ball far too easily a few times and looked to be having a shitter until he made the run and pass that won us the game. Really happy with him as a sub option especially when there's space in behind like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Was really feeling bad for him for the first 5 minutes or so. I could tell it really hurt him how he was playing. Was soooooo happy for him for the assist. Thought he was going to go for goal, I actually fancied him to score. He showed great awareness, pace and strength for that set up. Top character.

Thought it was totally the wrong substitution, sending him out on his own at that time, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 When Tonali was coming on I said, to the wife, "he coming on for Murphy" 😂 Was all over the gaff for 10mins. Brilliant for the winner. Top lad, regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Maybe his confidence is shot from everyone in the press, online and the fan base telling him that he is shit and is going to be replaced. However... Despite his faults he will get some important assists and is the only winger we have who actively looks to feed Isak. We can't fix the problem until the next window so we need to get behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I was so glad he took the easy option and passed to Isak, had he shot and missed, there would’ve been a collectively meltdown of levels we’ve not seen before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Still think he put in a really useful shift despite the focus on his ropey first few touches. He came on at RWB and yet found himself in a shooting position on the left of their box, which was a big moment cos it forced Spurs back and gave the crowd a lift. Then he was defensively good after the goal, making one important clearing header that I can recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree there. You could sense the frustration growing with him from the crowd after his first few touches where he lost the ball each time. Had he went to shoot when he went through and missed, there would have been hell on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 A few dodgy moments early on losing posession. Then went on to have a decent crack from a Gordon layoff coming from left to right, could have had a tap in if Isak squares it, then sets Isak up for the winner. 3 potentially really big goal involvments in what, 20 mins? Fair play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 He looked not familiar playing with Livra and thus missed /misunderstood a few link up passes. Other than that it’s mostly because he is just not good enough. Not bad to have one on bench / rotation but one of him / Almiron must be replaced next summer.

Newcastle Fan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Spent a bit of the international break watching our match highlights in the last two years and one of the things that stood out is how many of our most impressive matches had him as a starter, i didn't think he featured as much.
