duo Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's great to see a player actually improve at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Had very little of the ball, but often skinned players when he got the chance and he's really direct when he has space to run in to. Not trying to compare them as players. But similar to Ben Arfa, in as much as I don't think he is particularly fast off the ball. But when he is in possession, he has a nice touch, change of direction and acceleration. So he just glides past players effortlessly at times.

TRon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Loved that finish. Not a fluke by any means, he'll score a lot more in the future I'd wager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Loved that finish. Not a fluke by any means, he'll score a lot more in the future I'd wager. Our players always seem to be terrible one on one so it was fantastic to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Chuffed for the lad and that was some finish. He has talent and has the kind of attributes needed in our team. Again I like him, see lots of potential and thus far he’s developing into a decent player for us. He can be frustrating and shows signs of being weak in certain situations, but he’s young, this is a huge step up and he’s a wide man and isn’t exactly in the team every week. If he works hard, keeps listening to Rafa and takes his chances, he’ll do well for us and we will have in him a very decent player. Happy with him this far basically.

Crumpy Gunt Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Better than Richie. He's definitely looking a decent option to start ahead of Richie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The amount he has to show just to get a chance is baffling. He's clearly the best choice for the right hand side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yep, he has to be starting games at the minute with Kenedy on the opposite wing. Can't remember the last good game Atsu or Ritchie had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think Rafa is easing him in, but yeah, that period has ended. He's clearly ready now, get him on from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I do wonder whether his impact might be reduced by starting rather than coming on, but Atsu was so bad last night that you really can't justify playing one over the other.

Rebellious Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Definitely ready going forward, maybe Rafa doesn`t trust him defensively 100% yet. Did anyone see Yedlin going mental at him for ages when they had a free kick and he was not picking up his man, so then Yedlin couldn`t get his man.

Infinitely Content Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Really starting to love the guy. Has a way of his own when striding forward with the ball, electric to watch. He also seems to be becoming more authoritative in his own ability to keep the ball and try and fashion something himself. That's the player I saw at Norwich, but now a level above. Very well done to him this season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well done to him this season like. Think it was his first attack last night, real quality, drove right into the heart of them and played a really well weighted diagonal ball to someone on the left. Looks to have really grown in confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm hoping against hope that this lad and Kenedy might give us the X factor to keep us up. We can't rely on just Slimani for the goals, we really need more from the other forwards, and Murphy looks like he's got the attributes to hurt teams. A lot to put on the shoulders of a young lad in his first season, but we don't have a lot of choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Should start looking for a way out. It's obvious his performances on the pitch don't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me - maybe he isn't fully fit, maybe Rafa is thinking tactically, maybe he'd be lucky to get near any other premier league side's starting XI after the start he had. Utter nonsense post.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, Rafa clearly likes him as a player which can be seen with his patience & faith in persevering with him when he was finding his feet. I'm sure Jacob feels absolutely fine with his game time and Rafa will have kept him completely in loop with his plans for him both off the bench and starting matches.

Yorkie Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I think he's more worthy of a place in the line-up as well but I trust Rafa and he's obviously just easing him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
