geordie_b Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I subscribe to the theory that if he wasnt serious flawed he wouldnt have been here in the first place. In a struggling team he look a gem but in a team with tactics and a style of play he isnt compatible imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 There's a player in there but I'm really struggling with him at the moment. Looking more and more like his level is a lower half premier League team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He's in a bit of a rut at the moment, but he's earned the right to try and turn it around. He's saved our arsed on numerous occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Waste of a shirt, sell the cunt. Whinges when the ball doesn’t get to his feet/space or when someone dares challenges him. Downs tools. Absolute dross the last few months! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloGeordio Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 His antics and gesticulating when wanting a decision instead of getting back in formation like the well drilled side Eddie is creating, is just part of his frustrating antics. Let’s not talk about blind alley runs, and doesn’t know when to pass or which pass to make. Howe may keep him for next season but unless he develops (not sure he can, as he prefers let’s play type of football) he’ll be gone and we’ll have better, he’s a transitional part of the rise of Newcastle for now!

Abacus Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think it's pretty clear he can't play as a no 9. We looked all over the place with him up front. His best moment was when Wood came on and he set him away, but aside from that he had a bad one today, losing the ball all over the place. Albeit against one of the best teams in Europe, where nobody did well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He's a fabulous one man band, no doubt about that, but you don't win many games with only one player doing it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thought Matip was absolutely class btw, it wasn't just ASM that he had under control, it was anyone up against him. Don't think there's that much to be critical of with our players aside from being offside too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It grinds my gears to see him amble back on the left with Salah or Díaz working so hard on the same flank. Then when he gets on the ball he’s pap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s class, but if you get in his face and press him he can be a liability, he brings the ball out so well for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Running out of patience with him, yes we were playing against one of the best sides in the world, but his inability to do the basics is maddening. His first touches today in critical positions were shocking. There’s very few teams where he’d be ascribed so much importance to ultimately produce so little.

James Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Can’t believe I’m saying this but if we had to choose to remove one of ASM, Fraser, Almiron and Murphy from the squad for next season then I’d choose to remove ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Looks tired, frustrated, and out of ideas. Might be good to give him the rest of the season off and have him back fresh for next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
