Collage Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 1 hour ago, SEMTEX said: Did anyone see the goal like? Was bobbins. Crisp packet hands England keepers letting em in for free. Does make me wonder whether Eddie has ever considered asking our team to shoot once in a while. IMO shooting leads to more goals. Reminds me of a clip I saw from training with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, managing Cardiff I think. He kept shouting "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! You never gonna score if you don't shoot!" Football genius, that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I think it was Burnley with Pope where they deliberately allowed a lot of shots from distance between the two CBs because it was so unlikely to lead to a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a statistical analysis that attempts to answer the age old question: Who was better: Charlie Austin or Sergio Aguero? Anyway, as you can see, Sergio Aguero took 4.4 shots per game, and scored 25 goals, whereas Charlie Austin only took 3.7 shots per game, and therefore only scored 17 goals. So we finally know, Sergio Aguero was a better player than Charlie Austin. Anyway, as this relates to Newcastle, what I would propose, is that Eddie asks his players to be more like Sergio Aguero, and less like Charlie Austin.

Weezertron Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I liked Chris Wood as a guy, but he could win the Ballon Dor next year and I wouldn't give a fuck. He is a rare example of when we sold at the right time, for a decent fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 He was asked to play a very limited role in a very limited team at the time, playing very reserved football, usually up top on his own. He did exactly what he was asked to do and did it well from what I remember. Then we bought one of the best strikers in the world so we sold him. No surprise to me he's still scoring in the PL in a more progressive role. Good on him for smashing them in so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 He did exactly what we needed of him. We went from relegation form to top half form with him in the team. I thought he was important to the way we played and it was obvious as early as Leeds away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I'm from the 'he did his job here' school but he was absolutely wank at NUFC and getting our money back was amazing business. His non-existent hold-up play was the biggest disappointment, expected that to be one of his strengths but all he could do was get his head on long balls without any controlled direction.

I'm assuming everyone saying we should have kept him is joking. Not even sure what to say if they aren't. But it's a very Newcastle thing that even the best outgoing business we've done in the last few years is looking bad at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
