loki679 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think he looks excellent. Always wanting to attack and take a man on, we've missed that for a while. If he can stay fit I think he'll be instrumental in keeping us up. Hopefully in time he'll develop a bit better understanding with joelinton too.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He's such a fun player to watch, it's like when you can a rapid player on fifa and all you do it pass the ball to who and try to run through the other team, hope he keeps doing this throughout the season.

TRC Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He's already number 3 on my all time NUFC players list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 His decision making surprised me yesterday like, especially in the build up to the goal. Expected him to be an Obertan type, head down and run, but his forward passing in general looked surprisingly incisive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He’s really good. Helps us keep the ball or attack with his incredible strength and pace on the ball. Brilliant counter for that goal as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 His decision making surprised me yesterday like, especially in the build up to the goal. Expected him to be an Obertan type, head down and run, but his forward passing in general looked surprisingly incisive. I think he's similar to HBA, he can spot a pass if the player makes a good run, but unless he trusts the player to actually do something with it, he might decide he's better going for it himself.

John P Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 His decision making surprised me yesterday like, especially in the build up to the goal. Expected him to be an Obertan type, head down and run, but his forward passing in general looked surprisingly incisive. Agree with this. After signing him and looking at his youtube videos I thought he would be overdoing things and running into blind alleys a lot, but he's actually shown so far that he is very good at releasing the ball at the right time.

Ikon Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He's a sub. He doesn't have the brain or composure to look good across 90 minutes. Bring him on when everyone's knackered and let him go mental. :kinneardog: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy looked exciting on those youtube clips man, but peopel always prefer to castigate players we sign. Cannot believe anyone watched that and thought ... Gabriel Obertan. But then again someone else was saying at the time that he looked no better than Atsu or a dog chasing a balloon. Same stuff every single time.

STM Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I too thought he was excellent, there was twice though that I was tearing my hair out wanting him to pass. Far better to have a maverick that makes things happen but frustrates, than having a nothing winger who doesn't contribute whatsoever to our attacking play.

KaKa Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 You guys wouldn't feel this way if he was in a better team. Think he'd be incredibly productive by virtue of having more of the ball higher up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 He's just a really fun player to watch, like Ben Arfa in a way, you would turn on the TV and watch any team he plays just because you know he will bring excitement to the game.
