geordiesteve710 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Alternative best individual performances XI... from players that generally were average-to-poor/forgettable for the rest of their NUFC career. GK - Jon Karelse, Arsenal (a) in 1999/2000: Kept a clean sheet (he only made like 2 saves) and didn't f*** anything up for once. RB - CB - James Perch, Liverpool (h) in 2011/12: Kept Suarez in his pocket for the whole game and got Reina sent off, leading to Enrique in goal. CB - LB - Wayne Quinn, Lokeren (a) in 2001/02: Only went and scored, didn't he! RW - CM - Clarence Acuna, Spurs (a) in 2001/02: Bagged a header and managed to run the midfield despite playing alongside Jamie McClen for the entire match. CM - Scott Parker, Arsenal (h) in 2005/06: Battled superbly in the centre of the park, took a fist to the face from Jens Lehmann, subbed after making a half-dazed tackle with his head after 70-odd minutes. LW - CF - Mark Viduka, West Ham (h) in 2007/09: Scored one beauty and one tap in, and made me think he was going to be class for us under Fat Sam. CF - Shola Ameobi, Sunderland (h) in 2010/11: Knocked in a pair of goals and absolutely dominated the mackem defenders all day long. Very much a work in progress ofc.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 On the same theme...an individual performance XI against us... Crossley for Fulham in the 1-4 under Souness. Wright-Phillips for City in the same season where we beat them 4-3, Scholes in the 2-6... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Probably Owen in 98. Was the beginning of the end for Philippe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Robert Pires for Metz has to be in there, he was absolutely incredible. I remember thinking there and then that we should try and sign him, and we should have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Probably Owen in 98. Was the beginning of the end for Philippe. Patrick Berger was sensational for them that day too. In terms of goalkeeping I couldn't look past Schmeicel in March 96. Won them the league that night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben-nufc Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Dummett v Liverpool 1-0 in 2014 I think it was. Had Sterling firmly in his pocket all game. Anita v West Ham end of the same season. Was incredible that game. Shane Ferguson v Bordeaux at home. Kid looked like a real talent that night. Geremi v Spurs (a) under keegan, think he got two assists and a goal!
