Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 There was a moment first-half where he put the ball out for a throw-in like he did a few times against Milan and I thought "oh here we go" but he was fucking immense after that, in both directions.

Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) There's 6-7 goals a season in him if the deliveries are right and we give him something to attack rather than a floated cross for him to head back across goal. He's hopeless at those and can't generate the power. The goals against Brighton, Sheff Utd and PSG though, you physically can't stop him.

Again, can’t say this more he has this way of adjusting his game after 10-20 mins and assuming we haven’t conceded it’s lights out for the winger.

I was sat with two neutrals last night. Who were both commenting how bad he looked early doors. I was also having flashbacks to Milan and some of his worse performances this season and worrying. Near the end of the game. They both said how good he looked and it is certainly becoming a recurring theme. He's a big lad. Just takes a long while to get fully warmed up.

Pata Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Really good performance. Bowen was mostly quiet, had a few decent efforts at goal and played a lovely through ball to Isak. Edited October 8, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 That pass to Isak was absolutely class, to be fair to him. Kinda love when he goes rogue Shearer in a game and is in the 6 yard box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 He's absolutely a weapon on those high balls to the far post, good to see him getting forward and almost get another goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 He seems to have learned how to do attacking headers, which is brilliant to see and he's in really good form at the moment. You would think it would make some people (particularly non-Newcastle fans) rethink their opinion of him, but they seem to have largely gone from talking shite to just being exasperated that he's done things they seem to think are way above his level of ability, but aren't, because he's a very good defender and a generally dependable, often good footballer. He's not Andy Robertson or Alaba obviously, but from a defensive point of view, time and again opposition fans will mention him as the position where they think they might get some joy, then teams try it, and for the most part they fail.

Kid Icarus Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Can you imagine how much more satisfying his PSG goal would have been if Donnarumma hadn't got back and it had just been smashed into the net. There's so much I love about that goal, it's a shame that it didn't look as emphatic as his leap and header deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 He's improved this season. Been very vital in our turn of form tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thunk! as he connects with it, followed by it smacking the net, would've been positively orgasmic. Also, watching it back, fuck me it took an eternity to make the bloody call. I guess I didn't notice the length of time on the night because I was having a fierce debate with the PSG fan I was sharing the pub with. I suppose that's the trouble with clear and obvious; sometimes it takes several minutes to debate something that is obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 He's finding himself in all sorts of positions at the moment. Mad as he was often very static for large periods of last season. A lot of it is decoy stuff, I'm sure, but he's down the touchline, in the 6-yard box, and even showing up in centre mid too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
